2015 World Cup Result : New Zealand edge out Australia by one wicket in a thrilling encounter

[FanofCricket]

anderson looking for big shot

 

[#GreenRoars]

So the mightyy AUSS can they win from here??

you never know, if they take the wicket of williamson early, i am sure they can seal the victory

 

[leatherface58]

What a dumb slog from Anderson. Calm down you need 1 RPO not 15. STAY at the crease.

 

[adnan yasin]

Anyone sees any obvious weakness in Kane Wlilliamson's game ?

He is one batsmen of this generation in Dravid/Sanga/Kallis mould.

at least i have not seen any weakness in kane williamson...but the kind of form he is in right now ... his weakness is hard to see

 

[desi_launda]

Starc is troubling Anderson, Starc is seriously fassst

bowls effortless pace just like Umesh Yadav

 

[yadunoe]

why dont NZ do Haka dance before match they do it in every sport even Ice hockey team does it .

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

i want Kiwis to win here but must agree if someone can win from this situation its defn Aus no other team would had come this close!

Pakistan in the Wasim era, he won us matches defending low total but yeah Aussies, never give up attitude

 

[FanofCricket]

excellent swing bowling by stark

 

[adnan yasin]

few good shots by anderson...but couldnt find the gaps.

 

[adnan yasin]

True ..... but we are in 2015

even in 70s West indies have defended these low totals

 

[adnan yasin]

90-4 in 13.2 overs

 

[Enforcer]

I don't know why Aussie chose cummins instead Hazlewood. Hazlewood would have been a perfect bowling partner for starc. Cummins is over-rated

 

[adnan yasin]

was that SIR MARTIN CROWE on the field ?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

151.4 kph by Cummins

 

[Thivagar]

Probably because it would look weird when the guys don't lookt physically threatning. Ice hockey players wear protection that makes them look much bigger. I can't imagine Williamson doing it

 

[FanofCricket]

good cut shot by wilamson

 

[adnan yasin]

controlled cut shot by williamson

couple of runs added

 

[adnan yasin]

good fielding at short mid wicket

 

[Enforcer]

They have to get willamson. Need to bring Jonno

 

[yadunoe]

at least this game is different then the run fests from before

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Johnson 4 overs went for 52 runs

 

[adnan yasin]

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Johnson on 60 bang bang

 

[adnan yasin]

chinese cut another

 

[#GreenRoars]

anderson on Song

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

 

[adnan yasin]

100 up

now 106

I heard its there tradition and it looks cool so I wouldnt mind them doing it in cricket. Williamson mcullum bros arnt too small

 

[LegendAli]

Johnson is such an average bowler.

 

[#GreenRoars]

come on johnson
what a shot by anderson under pressure

 

[desi_launda]

LOL Johnson 66*(27)

 

[adnan yasin]

Johson 66

 

[Ottoman]

Game over for Aus

 

[SamNJ]

They need to make him play that pull from wide outside off instead off from the leg stump.

 

[Enforcer]

:johnson is such a club-level bowler

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Johnson has given 66 in 4.4 overs for 0 wicket.

He's the reason for Australia's mess in bowling.. Eesh.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Should have continued with Starc

 

[Enforcer]

is such a club-level bowler

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Wow, woke up to this strange game. Well done NZ!

 

[Enforcer]

Would better for Aussies to drop and bring back Hazlewood. Starc is the only world class ODI bowler in Aussie lineup

 

[SamNJ]

34 needed in 34.
Can NZ do this?
34 overs btw.

 

[desi_launda]

Run rate is still 7.37

 

[adnan yasin]

only a maniac like mccullum can come down the wicket to johnson on first over

that was a shocker for johsnon ..

 

[Justcrazy]

34 required from 34 overs now

 

[Pantani]

Johnson has bowled about as well as expected. Not his fault NZ have the luxury of being able to take him to the cleaners without fear of losing. This is what happens when you score 150 on a wicket where the par score is about 900.

 

[FanofCricket]

good partnership so far

 

[Justcrazy]

Eliot is the weak link in Kiwis

 

[adnan yasin]

118-4 in 17 overs

 

[adnan yasin]

Eliot is the weak link in Kiwis

he was nervous .. thats normal .. and then he got a beauty of an inswinger

 

[JaDed]

Pakistan in the Wasim era, he won us matches defending low total but yeah Aussies, never give up attitude

i agree, but lets remem 1990's was a bowlers era dont see it happening nw.

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia should bowl out there best bowlers here.

 

[jattafridi]

Australian batsman needs to perform better in the next match
I hope they win the World Cup

 

[adnan yasin]

Take that

 

[OZGOD]

Done and dusted now

marsh arrives in

 

[JaDed]

so basically its this BAZ before 15 and KW after 15 with good bolwing

 

[0tt0man]

Williamson keeps this Kiwi batting side together. Clutch player.

 

[OZGOD]

Short and wide and begging to be hit

You need that tough characteristic and many cricketers lack that. You play TDCA ? if yes division and which team ?

 

[Pantani]

Ridiculous captaincy. Why was Starc even taken off?

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis should have gone with Neesham in place of elliot , that would have strengthened the team further.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Why is Starc averaging 32 in ODIs...

Looks misleading.

He's a much better bowler than Irfan or Junaid who average 24 or 30....

At least I would presume so.

 

[LegendAli]

Bad excuse, Johnson's job is to restrain runs from being leaked like Starc is doing, Johnson is not doing that hence why everyone is calling his average at best.

 

[OZGOD]

On another note I think Jonno is done. He peaked last year but he is missing that yard of pace and he isn't quite delivering those throat balls that tear up at the batsman. On a small ground like this the batsman just has to get an edge to deflect it to the boundary.

He's still going to be a good bowler but I don't see the same threat he had last year where he regularly ran through sides and hurt people. He hasn't hurt anyone this season from what I remember.

He averages 21.34 not including this match

 

[FanofCricket]

lbw shout not out.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis should opt for Power Play

 

[OZGOD]

He wants the rest of the bowlers to take their licks to build character I reckon

See [MENTION=3652]shane[/MENTION] most teams are not that dominant away from home!

 

[FanofCricket]

umpire's call

 

[Justcrazy]

22 required now

 

[Pantani]

Okay, fair enough, others have bowled much much better today. But he's not an average bowler. Finn, Broad, and Anderson were thrashed by NZ as well. There's no shame in bowling one bad spell in a match where the batting team know they've already won before facing a ball.

 

[OZGOD]

Another example of where umpires call provides different results for the same thing

People on this forum tend to have a memory span of a few games. They don't really look at long term performance. That's why a player can be a hero one day and a zero the next and a hero again the next
