ICC World Cup 2023: Australia (388) win a high-scoring encounter against New Zealand (383/9) by 5 runs

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

That has been there always. That is why indians have issues against him.

lol

 

[kron]

Santner has a pause in his action. ICC needs to look at his action

Need to rewatch his action. Not sure. Looks ok to me at first glance but will review it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Very insipid batting approach by Australia

 

[jnaveen1980]

Atleast rotate the strike for christsake. Painful to watch these guys getting stuck at one edn.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Even 400 will be hard to score.. Barring Maxwell everyone in the middle order are slow starters.

Fiery Top order, mediocre middle order

 

[kron]

Head is good against pace and spin but can't play bouncer directed at his body at pace or proper wrist spin who turns the ball.
Warner also struggle vs bounce directed at his body only. Against spin he is ok on flat wickets. On turners he will struggle majority of the time.
Smith cant play quality wrist spin either
Labushagne weakness vs short ball directed against his body and also high quality spin
Marsh struggle again vs spin but good vs pace
Inglis struggle vs pace and bounce
Stoinis good vs spin but poor vs pace /bounce
Green is good vs spin but struggle vs short ball as well

Weird team aus.

 

[sindhiboy]

that was a pretty bad knock from mitch

 

[Devadwal]

Australia were 200-1 in 23 over .

Next 13.3 over 64 runs 3 wickets

Terrible but they should still get 350?

 

[kron]

Boult vs Maxwell
7 matches 6 wickets
Scored 19 runs

Very poor.

Kiwis definitely do proper research and due diligence.

Useless Pakistan. Learn from them. This is how you deal with match ups

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australiastan

 

[mominsaigol]

Smith, Marsh and labu are such thorns, same as Pakistan's joke philosophy of the top 4.

Aus is being carried solely by Warner, Travis and Maxwell. Also why was inglish even picked? Were their no other wk in the domestic circuit?

 

[Sunzi]

If you pin the openers down somehow, Australia has a bit of an underbelly it seems. They should be in a better position than this for their platform.

 

[Ahmed216]

Conway should not risk his career diving on this outfield

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

100 in last 11 will take aus 380 kiwis not gonna chase that

 

[MenInG]

Do not make fun of player names if you wish your posts to remain on PP.

 

[MenInG]

Thread is ONLY about this game

Discussions on rest of the universe are for other threads.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Green should be in place of Labu. But he should be given the license to go after bowling.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I would be very disappointed if i were Australian. Pathetic batting order

 

[shah_1]

They understand that it will be difficult to hit at the end in this ground with the ball being soft

Knew this

Pitch is getting slower. Could be a match winning powerplay

 

[shah_1]

Maxwell Mania

 

[jnaveen1980]

On the roof

 

[kron]

I would be very disappointed if i were Australian. Pathetic batting order

To be fair they can still get to 400. but someone has to take on santner and boult.

boult is good vs Maxwell.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Maxwell back to back 6's

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Maxwell is back. Powerrrr

 

[Ahmed216]

I would be very disappointed if i were Australian. Pathetic batting order

Pathetic batting order has scored 320 already with 7 overs remaining.
India better prepare a turner like Chennai in knockouts

Taken like a champion.

You do know they were 150/0 in 15 overs right? Next 28 overs mere 170 that too due to Maxwell's recent onslaught

 

[Ab Fan]

Labuschagne is Pujara level test batsman and Rahane level ODI batsman.

 

[Devadwal]

Spinner like Kuldeep,chahal , sodhi can get Maxwell wicket but not Ashwin, Santer Shadab

 

[kron]

Labuschagne is Pujara level test batsman and Rahane level ODI batsman.

Labu is class in tests. He fights and never gives up. Average in odi.

 

[Ahmed216]

You do know they were 150/0 in 15 overs right? Next 28 overs mere 170 that too due to Maxwell's recent onslaught

Pitch has slowed down considerably and middle order players are not in best of form.
I expect those guys too to play better at the business end

 

[kron]

Hit the wrist of Maxwell. Power mania. Cmon maxy

 

[Ab Fan]

Labu is class in tests. He fights and never gives up. Average in odi.

Yeah same as Pujara. Bit of home track bully despite the never give up attitude.

 

[BouncerGuy]

After 44 overs. Australia is 325/5. After a brutal start provided by the opener, Aussie middle order failed to keep that tempo going.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Santner being treated the way he should be!

 

[Devadwal]

Maxwell gone .big wicket for NZ

 

[Ahmed216]

Enough runs on the board already

 

[BouncerGuy]

Neesham has got a big one here, Maxwell was looking dangerous. Australia is 6 down now for 325

 

[Devadwal]

Smith vs Pak IND NZ SF and England in ODI WCs

Inns - 16
Runs - 564
Batting average - 37.6
SR - 87
50+ - 4

 

[Devadwal]

Haha NZ fielding is pathetic today

 

[Ahmed216]

Sodhi showing he's a classless fielder

 

[kron]

Tut gaya. Henry ka dil

 

[kron]

The thing is I dint expect Needham to be picked. Perhaps should have been bowled more. He isnt a bad bowler. Trundler bur on this pitch it might work.

Henry is useless on flat pitches. Only good if there is swing. One dimensional bowler.

 

[kron]

George bailey who was a great captain In his time for odi is in their coaching staff. That's a great addition
Probably been there for a while I presume.

 

[kron]

In a KO anyone can win if they bat first on a flat pitch and post a hige total. Conditon based.
If there is bounce on the flat pitch then it may be a better game for the team that bats last.

On a spicier pitch it would be anyone's game and not be affected by toss. Maybe semis and finals should be played on a spicier pitch that offers bounce and turn.

 

[Ahmed216]

Inglis catching up now. He can be dangerous with his innovative strokeplay in death overd

 

[kron]

Haha always fun to watch boult and one delusional guys like Henry get tonked.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

I didnt know NZ bowling is that trash

 

[kron]

122 to 135 pacer sorry trundler boult.

 

[Ahmed216]

Pathetic batting order 360/7 in 47 overs

 

[kron]

I didnt know NZ bowling is that trash

They are on flat wickets, turners and on tru bouncy flatties too. Only good in swing friendly conditions

 

[apnapind]

Tbh i dont see new zealand winning their next 3 matches with this bowling if pitches are flat.

 

[kron]

Neesham shahhhh on the prowl.

 

[Ahmed216]

Rachin and sodhi pathetic fielders

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Beautiful batting atleast they can bat full 50 overs

 

[Kianig89]

Another 2 points for Australia

 

[Ahmed216]

Anything less than 20 in neesham over at this stage is batting failure

 

[Kianig89]

NZ giving others hope against hope

 

[Devadwal]

Another Dolly dropped by NZ fielders @Aman where are you hiding?
As I type another six by Cummins

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Kangaroo's can still breach 400

 

[Devadwal]

Another dropped .omg what is happening with them

 

[shah_1]

Neesham bowling gentle pies

 

[shah_1]

Rachin and sodhi pathetic fielders

SC genes

 

[Devadwal]

4 six in the over and 2 dropped catches. Total 27 runs from this over

 

[Ahmed216]

Another Dolly dropped by NZ fielders @Aman where are you hiding?

Name the player at least who dropped the catch

 

[Kianig89]

Aus flying high India be scared be very scared

 

[kron]

NZ giving others hope against hope

Hope we can crush them.
I think they will beat SA though. We can beat them.
Sri lanka has a good record vs them and they are in form. Good chance for upset

 

[Kianig89]

Where is locke ferguson

 

[Devadwal]

Name the player at least who dropped the catch

Mitchell ,Phillips ,Sodhi , Ravindra all have dropped the catches so far.

 

[kron]

Name the player at least who dropped the catch

Rachin
And then midfield was usually sodhi

And another catch drop by phillips.

 

[Sunzi]

Poor fielding from NZ. Pulled it back but the drops have cost them significant runs - they let it slip again.

 

[Ahmed216]

Rachin
And then midfield was usually sodhi

And another catch drop by phillips.

Indians were very happy that one of their own keshav helped SA win.
Now I don't want them to disown bechara Rachin

 

[Devadwal]

Cummins 37(13)*

 

[Devadwal]

Indians were very happy that one of their own keshav helped SA win.
Now I don't want them to disown bechara Rachin

Pakistani fans and their conspiracy theory . Mitchell and Philips are from Indian origin ?? Lol

 

[Ahmed216]

Did Phillips drop a dolly? It was a tough chance.
Rachin dropped one of the most easy catches of tournament.

 

[Sunzi]

It is the tail, but Boult is a champion - reliable.

 

[Devadwal]

Did Phillips drop a dolly? It was a tough chance.
Rachin dropped one of the most easy catches of tournament.

Mitchell dropped easiest catch of the match

 

[Devadwal]

388 all out .
NZ can't chase this score

 

[kron]

Neesham never ever drops haha.
