CWC - Blacks Caps v Australia

[Wairau]

Needed some of these others to stand up and support Ravindra more. Partnership starts but nothing decisive. 122 from 76 with 5 wickets left against Australia, doable but tough, unlikely.

If neesh goes the hoik it could get interesting

[NTA]

The fielders are very tentative in the outfield. Dew or sand?

[Wairau]

@NTA 6. good call, hope it goes down to the wire

[NTA]

Aus were 5/279 same stage

[Damo]

That's it now. See you all in around 7 hours.

Have to see the 50 overs out now for the sake of our NRR

Game is still there. Bit of Neesh magic and you never know.

Nasty for Marsh

@LABCAT said in CWC - Blacks Caps v Australia:

Stupid Australian commentatos saying he got his opportunity because of Williamsons injury, but it was actually Bracewell's injury that opened up the spot for him in the squad.

They are correct as he would not have played as Williamson would have batted 3 and Young would have opened.
This was mentioned by the NZ coaches as well.

Sphincter has relaxed a degree

324-5 Oz
325-7 NZ

[NTA]

Cummins' short slower ball doing the business

[Wairau]

Starc, 23 WC matches in a row has got a wicket..... 3 overs left and 0-65. He will get 2 more overs

[Damo]

Not enough partners to stay with Neesham I don't think.

[canefan]

Manus trying to make it closer. Caught Boult on the boundary and steps back onto the rope for 6

[canefan]

The ground looks amazing and the crowd are going nuts

[canefan]

Our poor fielding effort probably cost us this match. I think we will come up just short

[LABCAT]

1 less fielder outside the circle because Aussie bowled to slow, not that it helps as we need to clear the boundary.

[canefan]

All up to Neesh now

[LABCAT]

Thats a rough position to be in for Neesham
