@Crucial said in T20 World Cup - NZ v Aus:
It was a bloody enjoyable win but it is also T20 and sometimes one thing can swing the whole shape of the game. If Allen’s onslaught hadn’t come off (and it won’t always) Captain Kane would have dragged down the run rate and we’d have been lucky to get 150-160.
If Warner hadn’t down a clown act to get out (pure comedy) the Oz batting shape could have also been much different.
Not saying it was only luck just that luck can play a big part sometimes.Coulda shoulda woulda, who gives a fuck, lots of moments have gone against us over the years as well. Warner's a fucking tin arse and rides his luck all the time, nice to see it run out for once. We just wiped the fucking floor with them in a WC in front of 40k baying Australians. It doesn't get much better than that, just enjoy it man.

I did. Said so at the beginning of the post.
I just don’t buy into it being much of a sign. -

Has @Virgil hacked your account ?
Not sure you can refer to a guy with a record as impressive as Warners as a “tin arse” no matter what his personality is like.
But yeah, in saying that I’m certainly enjoying the victory !

Yeah, Warner is ridiculously talented, which is why he often gets away with being a tin arse in T20s. Any batsmen that comes out and goes hell for leather from the get go needs a fair amount of luck to pull it off. To say we were lucky to get him out ignores all the chances and half chances he gets away with. I'm hoping Allen can be even half the time arse Warner is.

Well yeah but that is the game by it’s very nature. A watchful start of 10 off 40 balls isn’t going to cut it.
But I do get your point…..and as you say the talent has to be there to pull it off.

For me that result has energized my interest in the tournament.
I think I'll watch India v Pakistan tonight.
7 months off cricket really makes it sweeter when it returns.
Rugby season is over, long live the cricket season.
I think I am more of a cricket fan these days anyway. Never thought I would say that.

That catch is one of the best things I have seen in cricket. Judged to absolute perfection.
