CWC Game #8 Black Caps v Australia

[Paekakboyz]

Kane! Right, let's run through the rest of em asap!

[canefan]

@Paekakboyz I think we need to chase less. Starc is a menace and we could be down a few for little if we are not careful. The opening stand will be huge today

[canefan]

Boult filling his boots!

[Paekakboyz]

Ooh does it stand?? Looked pretty good!

[Paekakboyz]

Yeah boi, that's a ripper. Surely it's not missing!

[Tim]

Farking hell! Boulty!

[Paekakboyz]

Boom!!

[rotated]

Kind of a dick move there reviewing, but OK.

Great stuff from Boult.

[canefan]

Unplayable 3 deliveries. Nothing like a good Yorker

[mofitzy_]

Good work keeping them under 250.

[canefan]

So 243 is about par I reckon. We've given ourselves a chance

I reckon 260-275 par.

With 244 they can afford to see off the new ball and with 1.5 substantive partnerships should get there.

Very curious to see how Guppy approaches this.

On the early shift now. Restrained start. Outside of Starc, I don't think their bowlers are terrifyingly indimidating. See him off, keep wickets in hand, and 5 an over is easy

fark that, Guppy just smoked Behrendorff fro four. Looks solid

[nzzp]

and Nicholls - lovely straight drive for 4 (first scoring shot) and next ball turns it to the onside for back to back boundaries.

[nzzp]

Starc: 153.8 km/h delivery. That is some heat

Munro to get a hundred. You read it here first

No. He'll get dropped for Nichols who won't reach double figures....

[rotated]

Smith drops Williamson - gorgeous.

[Victor Meldrew]

Have to say Berendorf has impressed the last few games

[nzzp]

Damn, Williamson gone to Starc. 97/3...and a brute to Latham first up. Survives, but under pressure.

Aus shading it at th emoment, asking rate up to 6
