-
Australia with a good first few overs, we could do with a wicket.
-
F*** Henry consecutive front foot no balls gone for 6s. Idiot.
-
Terrible start by NZ. Could be a long night.
-
I don't want to speak too soon, but along with the Proteas scraping through last night, the signs are not looking good for a glorious Kiwi sporting weekend
-
I've also seen very little in Boult's bowling so far in this tournament that's made me thankful for his return from the T20 retirement fund circus.
-
60 off 4.3. Gulp
-
And Latham remains the ultimate in international passive captaincy.
Giving Henry a third over after those first two, FFS.
-
Head and Warner going berserk early.
60/0 after five overs.

Can we chase 600? I think that would be a challenge.
-
86/0 after seven.
Ferg gets pasted in his first over.
-
@Wairau said in CWC - Blacks Caps v Australia:
@Damo why only 600? Do you expect Australia to slow down and have pity on us?
I feel like end of the powerplay will slow them a little.
-
108/0 after 9.
Satnav replaces Ferg and gets pasted.
-
Feels like we've asked one of my kids teams to bowl against a Viv Richards masterclass.
-
Looks llike Australia is on today so doesn't really matter who bowls, looks like we need to restrict the damage as much as possible and hope out batters come off.
-
Well the good news is the batting lineup should all get a go.....
-
Unfortuantely, I don't think either Conway or Young are capable of batting like this (maybe Conway can) and Allen never found enough consistency to get selected for the squad.
Feels grim at the moment.
-
License just to smack the shit out of it! Got to get both these guys out and some new ones in.
-
Santner is slowing things down a bit.

Maybe, we should have played Sodhi in this game, I'm not sure Australia are going let Ravindra off softly and Neesham will likely get smacked too.
-
Satnav can't take a very difficult c&b.
-
So our part time bowler looks like our best bowler so far.
-
Philipps bowls an over that goes for just 2.
-
Maybe this is why we didn’t bowl first in the 2015 WC final.
-
A nice change from our cannon fodder pace attack.
-
this is a tough watch
-
At this rate Australia will score 500.

Really catch 22 here - we’ve got to at least protect the NRR but how to do that without the risks of having a proper go at it
-
Phillips has been the ultimate under-bowled golden arm.
-
Got éem!!!
Warner c&b Philipps.
Thank fuck for that!
-
Pah - 177 - its only a middling T20 score!
-
There was a lot of doom and gloom earlier nine this thread. Looks to me like Australia will be lucky to get even 450 from here.

there's a few brutal ones on there.
-
I remember this game...
-
If we get nothing else out of this game, the advent of Philips as a bowler makes it worthwhile!
Smith gone.
-
It's the Phillips and Assorted Rabble show for the Black Caps....
-
Super glad Phillips got his third wicket as this is defintely the best bowling spell he has ever had!
-
Fuck me ...
... looked like 6 hundy was on. Thank god we've pulled it back to something chasable ...
