Not over yet, vilks, but NZ need a wicket soon.

by lardbucket Sun 29 Mar 2015, 09:32

and they've got it

by JGK Sun 29 Mar 2015, 09:32

Warner holes out to where the man had just been moved.

Idiot.

by skully Sun 29 Mar 2015, 09:32

GCS out after smearing one. [sigh]

by Big Dog Sun 29 Mar 2015, 09:34

Yet another betwixt & between innings from Warner.

I appreciate it's a little different when it's your team playing but from a neutral's perspective this isn't even competitive.

by Big Dog Sun 29 Mar 2015, 09:36

Lets hope Clarke gives the strike to Smith as much as possible.

by lardbucket Sun 29 Mar 2015, 09:36

Vilks:

Runless out-of-form Clarke in, with softcocks Maxwell and Watson to follow. Still in the balance.

by Paul Keating Sun 29 Mar 2015, 09:41

This is set up for a match winning innings from Twatto.

by lardbucket Sun 29 Mar 2015, 09:41

Did that hit the stumps?

A fair assessment.

Pity Gilette don't sponsor now, there are some 1895 style beards on the NZ side.

It did. It's something they have to fix. The flashing bails are way heavier than normal bails and take more to lift. There have been 3 instances in this Gilly where batsmen have survived the ball hitting the stumps.

Aus are 40% to the target.

by JGK Sun 29 Mar 2015, 09:50

Aust have pulled this back to 50:50 I reckon.

by Brass Monkey Sun 29 Mar 2015, 09:55

50:50 what? My interest is waning with every easy single being taken. If NZ had two more wickets it could be interesting but it doesn't seem likely

by Guest Sun 29 Mar 2015, 09:57

You guys realise that the total is 184 and not 284? You have 8 wickets in hand. This is all over! Enjoy your 5th World Cup win chaps.

by lardbucket Sun 29 Mar 2015, 09:57

2-76; could still easily go either way.

Lardy knows his cricket. Don't forget, a tie isn't enough for Australia.

by skully Sun 29 Mar 2015, 10:02

Tweek's ability to find a gap is remarkable.

by Big Dog Sun 29 Mar 2015, 10:04

Australia doesnt chase small totals well. They will find some way of giving the Kiwi's a sniff.

by skully Sun 29 Mar 2015, 10:04

Pup middles one. 50% there.

by lardbucket Sun 29 Mar 2015, 10:06

That's a good over for Australia. Clarke has surpassed my low expectations of him already.

by lardbucket Sun 29 Mar 2015, 10:06

The magician back on.

by skully Sun 29 Mar 2015, 10:09

I'm happy for them to milk Potter for 3 or 4 an over.
