ICC CT 2017 : Group A - New Zealand [291] vs Australia [53/3] - No result

[jnaveen1980]

Anderson should have been in earlier

 

[yasir]

AUS has tighten the screw in last few overs, that's what good death bowling could do. NZ messed up by sending broom, why he is in the team anyway??

 

[Aman]

Ugh Anderson never scores runs against good attacks.

 

[MMHS]

That's why dropping Kamran and picking Azhar (both old) did not made sense. ICC tournaments are played on roads, where as WI series was played on low and slow surfaces, Kamran would have feasted here on top and Umar at tail end, Pakistan would be missing Akmals at both end

I think Fahim can play on the blackfoot, but others it would be tough.

Fakhar as well.

In current circumstances, I'll open with Fakhar & MoHa & before that, I'll have a one on one chat with MoHa - straight eye ball to eye ball : "Shake up, don't think people around are fool".

 

[Aman]

Sending in Broom really messed things up.

Would have been better off giving those balls to settle in to Neesham or Anderson.

 

[yasir]

THat's unfair to bowler with these big bats and small ground. Top edge should never go for six, that's failure for regulators

 

[MMHS]

Will's wicket was key - set batsmen is the key at end.

 

[Rayyman]

300 should be 50-50 here.

 

[MMHS]

THat's unfair to bowler with these big bats and small ground. Top edge should never go for six, that's failure for regulators

Why? People come to see SIX ..........

 

[cr7great]

nz choked

 

[Aman]

This is pathetic by the middle and lower order.

Sending in Broom at 5 was a game changing decision.

 

[cr7great]

nz is bunny of australia

 

[Rayyman]

Lmao where is Southee he can hit.

 

[Aman]

nz choked

Nah, the middle order has been rubbish for a while. This is a typical performance from them.

 

[troodon]

Still 7 overs left.

NZ will be all out

 

[Rayyman]

Still 7 overs left.

NZ will be all out

No only 3. Rain shortened overs.

 

[Hasan123]

Hazelwood is a brilliant odi bowler.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Last 5 ovs 34/4

Throwing it away here NZ

 

[Aman]

Need to be careful and not be bowled out.

 

[Rayyman]

Hazelwood is a brilliant odi bowler.

He's average

 

[HinderTheJinder]

If NZ score 292 then score will be reduced

 

[MMHS]

Still they should reach our total with 4 overs less - their fielders should make it 325.

 

[Aman]

Last 5 ovs 34/4

Throwing it away here NZ

They messed it up with Broom, he's a nothing player who took the team nowhere. By the time Neesham and Anderson came in, they had no time to get set. I would have batted him behind Southee in this situation tbh.

 

[Hasan123]

He's average

Average of 25, economy of 4.65, 55 wickets in 35 games. These are brilliant numbers in the modern LO game.

 

[Rayyman]

Average of 25, economy of 4.65, 55 wickets in 35 games. These are brilliant numbers in the modern LO game.

Numbers are brilliant, no doubt; But he needs to do well against India, England and South Africa to be considered great in ODIs. I don't think he can do that.

 

[Poison]

This is very odd for NZ. Just poor batting and poor management

 

[HinderTheJinder]

Why Aman always keeps on whining?

 

[Aman]

This is very odd for NZ. Just poor batting and poor management

Nah, this has been the norm since the 2015 WC.

 

[Aman]

Why Aman always keeps on whining?

Who let Dashing Man back?

 

[Hamza_]

NZ has used Ranchi as pinch hitter in this tournament and it has worked so far. Pakistan can use some out of the box thinking as well, let some body(Immad, Shadab,Hassan,Rahim) go at the top. No point of playing TTFs at top.

Good point [MENTION=5869]yasir[/MENTION] Bhai.

Hopefully Arthur tries something like this.

 

[troodon]

No only 3. Rain shortened overs.

Ohh.

This is a match losing score then.

325 would have been a winning total.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Aus is going to win this whatever runs NZ make.

 

[bluevision]

What's the weather prediction for the second half? I know you can't predict UK weather. Just curious, I don't want to spoil the Friday evening watching a rain effected match!

 

[Rayyman]

Why Aman always keeps on whining?

He's a kiwi

 

[Hasan123]

Numbers are brilliant, no doubt; But he needs to do well against India, England and South Africa to be considered great in ODIs. I don't think he can do that.

Why can't he perform against those sides?

 

[Hamza_]

NZ attack is good. They can defend.

 

[Aman]

Going to be all out so don't think we'll get any runs added.

Won't be surprised in the slightest if this side loses all 3 games, the middle order is non existent.

 

[troodon]

NZ should at least target 310.

9 balls remaining. Can they get 19 runs?

Southee needs to strike a couple of sixes.

 

[Rayyman]

I had a feeling that Hazlewood would get a 5-fer.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Kane is unlucky to be playing with average players

 

[Hasan123]

Good comeback from Australia and Hazelwood.

 

[Aman]

Yeah, Australia will coast this.

Rubbish performance from everyone not named Kane, Guptill or Ronchi.

 

[Hamza_]

Fifer for Josh.

 

[bluevision]

Kangaroos have just spoiled Kiwi party, only one winner from this point on wards..

 

[Hasan123]

Hazelwood cleans up the tail. Brilliant bowling.

 

[Rayyman]

Why can't he perform against those sides?

I haven't seen good variations from him. Still he bowled great today and it's pleasing to see this type of a performance from a fast bowler.

 

[Hamza_]

NZ should at least target 310.

9 balls remaining. Can they get 19 runs?

Southee needs to strike a couple of sixes.

Southern can smash a few though

 

[Aman]

Kane is unlucky to be playing with average players

The team is Guptill and Kane.

 

[MMHS]

This is poor from Kiwis. Not sure, if they'll gain from DWL now.

 

[cr7great]

nz have rubbish team barring guptil and kane

 

[troodon]

Aus will chase this with 3 overs to spare.

Expect fireworks from Warner and Finch.

 

[Rayyman]

Match is 60-40 in favour of Aus.

 

[Aman]

Fleming was spot on, Latham should have batted at 5 today.

He can tell Broom doesn't belong anywhere near this level, sucks that management can't.

 

[Aman]

Not only did they fail to make 300, they wasted 6 balls and didn't get anything added from D/L.

 

[Syed1]

Teams are finding it hard to accelerate in the death overs despite having solid foundations. Yesterday BD and today NZ. Maybe has something to do with the extra fielder outside in the last 10.

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Failed badly in the end... Should've been a better finish.. at least 50 runs short..

 

[troodon]

NZ short by about 30 runs.

330 would have been a winning total.

 

[Syed1]

Not only did they fail to make 300, they wasted 6 balls and didn't get anything added from D/L.

So AUS will have 50 overs to chase this? while NZ got a maximum of 46?

 

[Rayyman]

Let's see how the hacks: Warner and Finch, perform against Boult and Southee.

 

[Aman]

Failed badly in the end... Should've been a better finish.. at least 50 runs short..

340 would have been the equivalent of 380+

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Match is 60-40 in favour of Aus.

70 30 in Australia's favour..

 

[Aman]

So AUS will have 50 overs to chase this? while NZ got a maximum of 46?

No, the game is 46 overs.

They would have had runs added if they weren't bowled out as overs were reduced during the innings.

 

[Hamza_]

300 would've been match winning.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

So AUS will have 50 overs to chase this? while NZ got a maximum of 46?

No they have 46 overs to chase this. But because NZ got bowled out, they won't get additional runs.

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

340 would have been the equivalent of 380+

Those 6 deliveries left is in Australia's favour... D/L advantage wasted by NZ..

 

[Rayyman]

70 30 in Australia's favour..

Maybe, but NZ have good pacers and overcast conditions. Aus can collapse.

 

[Aman]

Our top order is solid, but I had doubts about making it to the SFs on our middle and lower order. You can't count on them to score anything against good attacks.

 

[HinderTheJinder]

Good total if you look at it strategically

 

[Poison]

300 would've been match winning.

Don't wanna jinx myself but 300 looks to be about 40 short. Zero swing on offer all game.

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Our top order is solid, but I had doubts about making it to the SFs on our middle and lower order. You can't count on them to score anything against good attacks.

It's between England and you guys..

 

[Poison]

Good total if you look at it strategically

You can't just say words like 'strategically' and pretend they have meaning without an explanation.

 

[Aman]

It's between England and you guys..

Nah, England's batting way too deep for us. Just hoping we don't finish last, this side is more than capable of finishing last if Guptill and Kane don't show up.

 

[King Kong]

Not only did they fail to make 300, they wasted 6 balls and didn't get anything added from D/L.

NZ batted only 9 overs before the interruption. Not many would have been added though. 3-4 runs at max.

 

[Hamza_]

Don't wanna jinx myself but 300 looks to be about 40 short. Zero swing on offer all game.

It's 46 overs Bhai.

 

[aniket1911]

It's 46 overs Bhai.

Still a very low total for 46 overs.

 

[aloo paratha]

NZ can still win this, remember what happened at Eden Park? They were defending less runs with more overs, pitch didn't really have anything in it either.

Boult and southee need to get 2-3 quick wickets. Hope NZ win!

 

[Aman]

NZ batted only 9 overs before the interruption. Not many would have been added though. 3-4 runs at max.

5-10 runs would have been significant if they batted sensibly.

Bat the innings and get to 310-315 + 5-10 runs and you have a solid total to defend.

 

[yasir]

Why? People come to see SIX ..........

Sixes, not mis hit, . I know many Indian fans still bragg about Tendular/Sehwag mishit six on Akthar's good bouncer back in 2003, which should have been out but instead giving them momentum...

 

[King Kong]

I'd bet on Bangladesh to beat this NZ side. They are hugely dependent on Guptil and Kane; and their bowling is vastly overrated; will have absolutely no effect on these flat pitches.

 

[Specialisttailender]

Poor atmosphere, lots of empty stands and such a boring inning. Was very painful to watch.
