Great finish to the match.

Boss game

 

I would've gambled on Rashid before Stokes. It was obvious how much Morris was loving the pace on the ball. Great innings regardless

 

Sets up for an excellent final ODI

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Great game for tension, not so much with the batting from either team and we bottled it big time with all those dropped catches and all-round shit fielding, in comparison SA bowled and fielded well. 

 

Down to a 5th game decider, maybe it was even planned that way.

Should have been on before Broad, who bowled his usual shit at the depth of a one day game. In fact even though he is the number one test bowler in Test Cricket he shouldn't get anywhere near the white ball game. 

[Jairzinho]

The problem with Broad is that he's a bowler capable of great spells and shit spells, which is fine in test cricket. In ODIs you have to bowl ten good overs.

Spot on mate, plus in the shorter game players are going to go for it at the depth. If he has to play (which I rather he didn't in the shorter games) then he should be bowled in two spells before the game gets to the 30-33 over mark. 

 

Set up for a cracking final game on Sunday.

Yeah, shame some of it clashes with our game against V*ll*.

Two streams on a split screen, obviously the cricket game on mute until another certain event is over. Sometimes I have 4 streams up with 4 smaller windows and 3 on mute, missus has a chuckle.

Yeah, I'd do that at home but I'll probably watch our game round a mates.

 

Hopefully we win at least one of the two!

Looks like the Aussies are gonna cash in big on this pitch now.

[Ian Sea]

New Zealand shitting themselves against Australia as usual.

[Jose Jones]

If Adam Voges retired now he'd have the highest average in test history. I always thought he was a bit shit.

[mouse1989]

He's a solid enough player but it really does speak volumes about the lack of quality international bowlers at the moment

[Vincent Vega]

He averaged less than 29 when he came up against some quality bowling in England last summer.

Is there anywhere in the world with better looking grounds than the kiwis?

[lifetime fan]

That lad is fucked.

[lifetime fan]

Was that right? They changed the kookaburra ball 15 times in one of the Aussie tests?

[lifetime fan]

Guptill gone.

Roy fails again.

[Jairzinho]

Roy will only be playing 20 over matches for the foreseeable.

[lifetime fan]

Holding is fucking brilliant.

[Jairzinho]

Yeah, Pollock waffled for a few minutes about bowling options then Holding got to the crux "you don't run out the captain".

[Jairzinho]

Weise and Morris are really shite.

[Barrington Womble]

Bootle.
