Re: NZ V Australia 28 February 2015

This is where Misbah comes in handy. With a touch of Younis thrown in to boot.

Re: NZ V Australia 28 February 2015

Currently NZ 145/7 in 22 overs … ye to lul ho gaya :hehe:

Re: NZ V Australia 28 February 2015

Stupidity from Kane Williamson, took a single on 2nd ball and let Adam Milne face Starc who was already causing trouble

Re: NZ V Australia 28 February 2015

146/9

Re: NZ V Australia 28 February 2015

And the gods applauded. A holiday was declared in swargalok

Re: NZ V Australia 28 February 2015

Lion hearted bowling by Starc. Made it interesting.

Re: NZ V Australia 28 February 2015

very interesting game. Nz win on last wicjet

Re: NZ V Australia 28 February 2015

This match is an example of how cut throat cricket has become.. and how feeble Paksitani team has become.

great game of cricket.

Re: NZ V Australia 28 February 2015

Tremendous fightback by the Aussie bowlers in a seemingly hopeless situation

Not a convincing win by NZ. should have won by at least 6 or 7 wickets esp. after McCullum's 50

Hats off to Aussie bowlers for not giving up despite having to defend such a small total

Aussie resolve and mental resilience is unmatched in World Cricket

Re: NZ V Australia 28 February 2015

What an amazing game... My mom was praying that Aussies shouldn't loose with so much margin and they didn't... lol.. I wanted NZ to win so badly despite how good they were in bowling but Aussies were rough on them. Great game. Unbelievable fightback!

Re: NZ V Australia 28 February 2015

Johnson went for 11.33 RPO (68 runs off 6 overs) and Aussies still only narrowly lost a low-scoring thriller

NZ players are clicking just at the right time. A year ago no one would have given them a chance but now they look favorites.

Re: NZ V Australia 28 February 2015

NZ batting (relying heavily on McCullum and Kane Williamson) is a concern though. They probably have the best seam attack in this tournament. Ross Taylor has been short of runs.

Re: NZ V Australia 28 February 2015

Yes. Ross Taylor has been a no show.

Re: NZ V Australia 28 February 2015

Never discount the Germans in football
Never discount the Australians in cricket

Re: NZ V Australia 28 February 2015

And always discount the English in both?

Re: NZ V Australia 28 February 2015

yes, but Aussie also buckled from 80/2 to 97/6, 4 wickets for 17 runs. They should have done better after warner and Watson laid the foundation. NZ despite collapsing at the end kept their nerve and finished in grand style.

Re: NZ V Australia 28 February 2015

yeah, they have too much sale going on

Re: NZ V Australia 28 February 2015

Got to check out their market.
