We beat englands score!

Legitimate question having not watched NZ lately. Are they actually any good outside their own country? Vetorri is bowling like a god and he was complete rubbish in the T20s playing in Aus.

it is by far the best kiwi side to play a world cup they will make the final 4 maybe the final but if we play them again we will smash them

Should our pace attack get it right early this aint over.

true but i think the kiwis have got this in the bag.However to be fair kiwi teams usualy wait till the semis to choke in world cups

Having Watson and Clarke at 3 and 4 is just ridiculous. Nothing surer than Watson getting out before reaching 35 and Clarke is returning from his 4th back reconstruction. You need guys that can bat for more than 10 overs in these positions so partnerships can form and consolidate a good start (or stop a rot after a bad start)

If Watson doesn't win us the game with the ball it has to be the end of him.

What a ******* humiliating start. Bugger me.

Geebus you can't look at losing 9 for * all and blame two guys.

As it stands Watson batted well. Wouldn't have minded Smith making 35. What's he got so far in the pressure of a WC? 4 & 5.

We've am awesome batting line up and have had a bad day at the office.

Looking forward to meeting NZ in OZ.

Not really we get them six or seven down and it's hardly a thumping.

Are you talking about the Big (Entertainment) Bash? Don't let Channel (being beaten by ABC in the ratings) 10 fool you into thinking the competition is important. Most O/S players are hear for the:

Hmmm, maybe not

 

[Heaps of fun]

Kiwis could win it off Johnson's next over.

Geezus what a collapse great bowling by N.Z and here i was expecting Aus to nudge 400 on that Small ground... New Zealand doing it easy.

Nope at worst a three wicket defeat, have a look at ya pitches NZ, not up to WC standard.

 

[naturally north]

Greatest leveller is a dodgy deck, but am proud we almost pulled that off.

Next minute..

 

[Flawed Genius]

You feel for Starc.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Starc was grouse (TM FG).

That would have been the all time greatest choke by NZ had we won that.

Not just blaming these 2. Pretty much all the guys got out to stupid shots. BUT we have a number 3 that continues to throw is wicket away. He got out to a shyte ball caught in the not so deep. The reason Watson gets singled out is because he keeps doing it time and time again and he is batting in the most important position in the team.
