CWC Game #8 Black Caps v Australia

[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

[booboo]

No need for that sort of risk lads

[shark]

Taylor gone. Yikes.

[shark]

Contributions from Kane and Rosco but again, so much pressure on them due to the lack of return from the openers. Latham needs to repay some faith here.

They've promoted deGrandhomme which is obviously a sign they want to up the rate because we've been digging a hole the last half dozen overs or so.

[shark]

And CDG hits out first ball to Steve Smith and gets OUT. FFS

[shark]

Fuck that was a dumb play. A crap shot, and a silly promotion.
