I reckon if Warner and/or Maxwell go cheaply, it's well and truly game on. You still have to comfortably back Australia with those two still at the crease.

4 down ...

GG Warner...runs out Kawaja then holes out next over.

Warner did

Aus not looking so bonzer, mate...

 

[AirWolf]

I would rate NZ bowlers best in the WC thus far.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Warner did

Awwwww yeah!

End of over 12 (3 runs) Australia 71/4 (72 runs required from 48 balls, RR: 5.91, RRR: 9.00)

Yep, Southee and Boult can't even get a look in at the moment...their team selections have been spot on in the 2 games when it comes to the bowlers.

Mark: "You'd have to say that one of NZ's big advantages is Williamson's captaincy. His bowling changes have been outstanding." You're not wrong. He's been sharp

So it was this ^ critter who jinxed it ... or do we blame Kane for bringing Milne back

 

[Creag]

Peter: "A lot of people lauding Kane, but I must say I disagree, he's only handed his spinners 4 overs thus far and they are the ones keeping him in the game!"

I think that this is a bit of an obtuse statement. You play to your strengths and manage your potential weaknesses. So if he has 4 in spin and they're doing the job, why not play them. Or am I missing the argument in this.

It is a bit dumb...he's used the seamers to rough the ball up by banging it into the pitch for a few overs. Now the spinners can bowl through the middle with a degree of comfort.

That Milne over was a mistake though.

15.1
Sodhi to Maxwell, OUT, Maxwell's on the drive, lofting it, but he's skied it to Williamson at deep extra cover! No chance he'll drop that and he doesn't
GJ Maxwell c Williamson b Sodhi 22 (23b 2x4 0x6) SR: 95.65

Gaurav: "Good that Aussies are keeping their wickets intact, for a while atleast, unlike India who kept losing wickets on regular intervals"

Lol, fail.

I have just seen that comment by Gaurav - posted just before Maxwell holed out!

 

[Neoprod]
