[canefan]

What a finish. So close. Come on Fergie, hit a 6

[Bones]

Fucken wow, what an amazing effort fellas. I don't care we lost, did yourselves proud.

Great game.

[sparky]

What an effort from Neesh.

[canefan]

Outstanding Aussie fielding in the last over or so

[Donsteppa]

Fielding the defining difference between the sides.

[sparky]

All over. Australia win by 5 runs.

Bugger!

[LABCAT]

Best game of the World Cup so far, shame were on the wrong side, Hopefully that means they're copying the All Blacks and keeping the powder dry for the finals.

[canefan]

It's a loss, but at least we negated any NRR damage. What an amazing cricket game

[sparky]

Huge effort from the BCs. Absolute heroes.

Well done Aussie. That was an amazing game of Cricket.

[Damo]

Fielding was the difference in the end. Aussie got about 20 runs too many.

Taking into account it would have been history making chasing 350 plus, unbelievable effort.

[sparky]

Hopefully, we meet the Aussies again and get a chance for revenge in the final.

Looking at the card we got a lot of starts but needed one more batsman to go on

We needed someone to provide that short sharp innings that Cummins provided.

If Conway or Mitchell fire.... Despite all that we almost won it

[LABCAT]

Looking at the table, the top four are quite obviously ahead of the rest.

[ACT Crusader]

A great chase.

After that start by OZ we did pretty well to restrict them to 388. We actually paced that chase almost to perfection.

I’m just glad the RR deficit is very minimal given the chase.

[NTA]

Phone ran out of battery a few overs out.

Good thing too, as I was busy shitting my pants.

Amazing game. Once we got to Boult I thought we could tie up an end but then the skinny prick his a boundary! 🤣

We made just enough saves to make it count, but too many wides nearly ruined all that.

That's a record aggregate for a CWC game

[NTA]

Garmin shows my HR went from 66bpm to 134bpm during that last over 😬

That saved match for them.
