ICC World Cup Group A Match - AUS vs NZ

[Mingo]

When you have so many streaky players like Finch, Warner, Watson, Maxwell, Haddin in the one side there will be games like this where they all implode at once (some credit for Haddin today).

That's why players like Bailey are important, he's an expert at rebuilding an innings when the top order are completely toilet

Our team balance is off, too much emphasis on 'X factor'

Very true but you'd think Clarke and Smith could play that role to a degree. Nothing worked today.

We did recently beat them in an ODI series, did we not?

Not just beat them, thrashed them as well.

 

[Lord Eddard]

Our bowlers. Zero swing. Awesome.

We definitely need to wipe this game from our memories and just move past it.

Nothing is happening for us today, throwing away our wickets with the ugly shots and completely mistimes shots to balls that should have been smacked for 4.

Now the bowlers are following suit.

Write it off and move past it I say.

 

[Mateyman]

They made 177, also I'd take 3 guys who average above 50 over one?

I'd take Faulkner at 8 over Behardien at 7

Wtf starc

 

[crownie]

The Finch dismissal reflects the whole attitude of the innings and team.

self indulgent, pig headed, someone else will do the job instead.

 

[Lord Eddard]

Great length ball starc.

 

[BrownYouGun]

140 still makes him a genuine quick, not just a glorified medium pacer.

So Mohammed Shami and Mitchell Johnson are in the same bracket then?
There's varying classes of quick bowling.

 

[BACCS]

The bowlers are on a bit of a hiding to nothing here

 

[Ross Prunster]

Call me un-Australian, but I love Brendon McCullum

 

[NSWCROW]

Did we win ?

 

[happy punter]

People getting too worked up about this performance. Sure it has been atrocious but let's remember Aussies have been idle in the past 2 weeks. Also the world cup is not going to be won today.

Surely Haddin has earned some credits over the past couple of years. Can't blame him, we went from 1-80 to 9-106 and he drove us to 151...it's still a s**t total but it gives Clarke & his bowlers a lot more room to work with.

I don't think you'll find one person who hates him.

Just wait untill we invade nz and slot him at 3

 

[Cleavy]

Lol. Carnage

 

[rippersnipper]

We did recently beat them in an ODI series, did we not?

That's not what I'm saying, I'm saying I want proper batsmen down to 6, not Watson or maxwell who have no idea on how to slow down when we need them to, nor know how to consistently build an innings

 

[Moist Biscuit]

McCullum is taking the piss surely.

 

[CheekyMonkey]

Did we win ?

yes m8

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Just about toe of the bat. Six.

 

[lewigie]

Wow how small are these boundaries

Hes the last bloke to rag on after today because he at least made runs.
