Australia beat New Zealand by 4 wickets in 2nd ODI

[Gilly]

Honestly, another Banglawash is assured.

Why are you trashing a match thread with this crap.

 

[street cricketer]

3rd

In LOIs

 

[street cricketer]

Santner is such a gem for the kiwis..

 

[Romali_rotti]

Usman Khawaja walking to the crease, WOW gives me shivers down the spine...... Here we go, Inshallah he does really well..

 

[street cricketer]

Australia's odds of victory are directly correlated with the number of Finch's playing.

1 Finch - Win probability of 0.75 (even Finch's greatness cant fully counteract the home track bullying hacks like Smith in the line-up)

0 Finch - Win probability of 0.

So expect NZ to demolish this batting line-up.

What is this series that is being played out between PNG and Ireland? Any tourney or just a bilateral? And where is it played?

 

[Romali_rotti]

2, 4s KHAWAJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[street cricketer]

Bangla fans shoe stringing a Bangla player or Bangladesh team into a totally unrelated discussion and turning into a Bangladesh thread.

Some things never change

 

[Sachin136]

It looks like a 35 over chase for Australia.

 

[Aman]

There's no demons in this pitch.

Our batsmen played as if there was something there lol

Well short by 50 runs.

 

[carrom_ball]

Lol, looks like the Aussies are angry after the phainty in the last match

 

[street cricketer]

Why is Williamson bowling inside the first 10 overs lol..

 

[Justcrazy]

77 after 10 overs

what a start !

 

[Justcrazy]

Why is Williamson bowling inside the first 10 overs lol..

To break the partnership

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis need a wicket here .

 

[street cricketer]

Uzzie bhai showing Marsh* how it's done.

*Shaun, Mitch, Rod, Geoff.

 

[Aman]

Hopefully the next wicket will have something in it.

No point playing into the Aussies hands by preparing lifeless tracks.

 

[anuk]

Usman Khawaja walking to the crease, WOW gives me shivers down the spine...... Here we go, Inshallah he does really well..

inshallah brother

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia marching home here , brilliant batting

 

[Suleiman]

LOL typical Pakistani innings. Get to 50 - then get out. Only difference is he didn't take his helmet off at 50 as well

 

[Adijazz1706]

This is what makes the PSL a refreshing change from the bowlers being hammered all round the world. Finally, they can give it back.

 

[Justcrazy]

Positive start by Aussies , well ahead of the run rate required

 

[Justcrazy]

required rate is below 5 , just need to play out overs to win.

 

[Sachin136]

This is what makes the PSL a refreshing change from the bowlers being hammered all round the world. Finally, they can give it back.

If bowlers have an advantage, it will become boring soon as well. You need a balance which isn't there anywhere.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Scores around 150 are balanced.

 

[carrom_ball]

Kiwis need to Get smith out early for a moral victory

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis need more than one wicket here to come back in the game.

 

[Justcrazy]

two down

 

[carrom_ball]

Moral victory achieved

This is what makes the PSL a refreshing change from the bowlers being hammered all round the world. Finally, they can give it back.

In PSL, batsmen miss out on a lot of scoring shots to be honest.

There is low quality batsmanship there.

Yesterday night, I noted at least 10-15 deliveries in an innings that international batsmen would cut for 4 or take doubles but all of them ended up as dots.

So a team is dependent on foreign players to score and if they struggle, then it becomes problematic.

However pitches have been on tougher side in PSL.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Looks like Aussies gonna choke here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis are coming back here , 2 quick wickets

 

[carrom_ball]

maxi gone

 

[carrom_ball]

Hack replaces the hack

 

[#GreenRoars]

Maxi gone, now NZ are dominating.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Warner needs to hit 150 if Aus want to win

 

[carrom_ball]

Looks kiwis are gonna lose after all, at least they won a moral victory

 

[Logical]

Why is Billy still an umpire ?

 

[carrom_ball]

Why is Billy still an umpire ?

Because he is a good umpire

 

[carrom_ball]

Warner gone, game on

 

[#GreenRoars]

Last hope Marsh and Wade.

 

[Aman]

What a catch Milne!!!!!!!!!

 

[carrom_ball]

Wade

 

[Aman]

Turning into a one hell of a game.

Milne is a freak of an athlete.

 

[#GreenRoars]

6 down, NZ winning this.

 

[Belawal2014]

I hope NZ lose only and only because of Ian Smith. Hate him, hate his voice, hate his commentary. Hate his bias. Hate his gasps, hate his whining and so forth..

Dude was just sympathizing with Matthew Wade for that incredible catch and then rips in to him moments later.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Santner turning into a star.

If he can produce results in NZ pitches, he can do way better on SC pitches.

 

[carrom_ball]

Come on kiwis, don't tell me Mitchell marsh is gonna win the game for Aus, get him out already

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Actually winning is pretty straight forward.

Tap around and take singles.

Job done.

But Kiwis ain't lulloos like us that they won't try to get wickets.

So 50-50 game but if Marsh gets out, its 80-20 in NZ favour.

[Justcrazy]

what a batting by Marsh here

i love ur posts so much. i almost never agree but i have to admit they are interesting.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Yeah.....so?

Singles is risk free winning.

They are smashing. Its clicking so good for them.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Mitch Marsh playing a blinder

 

[carrom_ball]

Yeah.....so?

Singles is risk free winning.

They are smashing. Its clicking so good for them.

So kiwis are lulloos too

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

So kiwis are lulloos too

Oh that one?

Kiwis go for wickets cos you will go for runs on these tracks anyways.

What they did last game is something we could never do.

So yeah their pacers are way better than us.

And yeah...Kiwis did look like lulloos when facing Aus in Aus (recent test series).

But in NZ, they seem to do much better.

 

[Belawal2014]

Anderson to get tonked this over.

 

[Belawal2014]

:

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Aus in flow.

Have to make sure they don't lose a wicket and they are through.

 

[Justcrazy]

48 runs required , but 4 wickets in hand

 

[carrom_ball]

This a walk in the park now, kiwis were 50 runs short

 

[shah_1]

Marsh is an incredible talent

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

A strong lower order always keeps you in the game.

Its not yet over.

50 runs is still lots to score with 6 wickets down but this is why Aussies do so well in current ODI.

Even after a horrible collapse they have firepower to continue.

 

[Justcrazy]

hastings

 

[#GreenRoars]

Brilliant partnership between these two.

 

[#GreenRoars]

And then people think Mitch Marsh is useless.

This match was won by austrailian bowlers, had the kiwis scored 40-50 runs more then even this lower order wouldn't have saved the Aussies, 280 is a below par score, 280 is like 220 in the 90s

 

[carrom_ball]

Of course he is, one match doesn't make him useful

That is true too but they ain't winning it if not for their depth.

We lost 0-4 in the NZ series cos we had no lower order game.

NZ scored similarly against us too in NZ in 2014.

[shah_1]

Averaging around 40 with a strike rate of 97 and he can bowl around 135 to 140 KPH. This isn't really useless.

 

[Mannara chopra]

Of course he is, one match doesn't make him useful

somebody who can bowl with decent pace and bats at no. 5 or 6 with significant technique and can hit the ball long is not useless bro I think you haven't seen his innings in Zimbabwe its just injuries took toll on his body

 

[shah_1]

The value of a bowler who can bat.

This is why Amir needs to work on his batting. It's a must for all ODI teams to have capable lower order batsmen( no 8 and 9)

 

[hk031992]

Marsh is an excellent player and not just because of today. He is an excellent fourth bowler and his batting seems to be getting better. I wish we had an all rounder like him and not Anwar Ali.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

And then people think Mitch Marsh is useless.

He could potentially become the best seam bowling allrounder since Kallis.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Aus gave NZ taste of their own medicine They could have easily won but hats off to Marsh and Hastings.

I have seen enough of marsh, 40 isn't a great average considering he bats in the lower order and has many not outs, also he bats on Australian pattas,he is bits and pieces player, useless was a bit of an exaggeration but I am not a fan

 

[Convict]

Uzzie bhai showing Marsh* how it's done.

*Shaun, Mitch, Rod, Geoff.

Nah.

Also pretty sure Geoff Marsh was lead runscorer in winning world cup campaign

 

[timeflies]

This "bowler" Hastings is a much better batsman than our fake allrounder Anwar.

 

[hk031992]

Not being a fan does not mean someone is a bits and pieces player. He regularly picks up wickets for Australia and provides great support for the strike bowlers. Nothing bits and pieces about that.

 

[shah_1]

This "bowler" Hastings is a much better batsman than our fake allrounder Anwar.

Anwar Ali is a disgrace. I will be honest that we wouldn't be mocking Indian trundlers when a bowler like him is playing for Pakistan
