CWC - Blacks Caps v Australia

[Chris B.]

108/0 after 9.

Satnav replaces Ferg and gets pasted.

[Donsteppa]

Feels like we've asked one of my kids teams to bowl against a Viv Richards masterclass.

[LABCAT]

Looks llike Australia is on today so doesn't really matter who bowls, looks like we need to restrict the damage as much as possible and hope out batters come off.

[KiwiMurph]

Well the good news is the batting lineup should all get a go.....

[LABCAT]

Unfortuantely, I don't think either Conway or Young are capable of batting like this (maybe Conway can) and Allen never found enough consistency to get selected for the squad.

Feels grim at the moment.

[Chris B.]

License just to smack the shit out of it! Got to get both these guys out and some new ones in.

[Damo]

Santner is slowing things down a bit.

Maybe, we should have played Sodhi in this game, I'm not sure Australia are going let Ravindra off softly and Neesham will likely get smacked too.

[Chris B.]

Satnav can't take a very difficult c&b.

[LABCAT]

So our part time bowler looks like our best bowler so far.

[Chris B.]

Philipps bowls an over that goes for just 2.

[DMack]

Maybe this is why we didn’t bowl first in the 2015 WC final.

[Donsteppa]

A nice change from our cannon fodder pace attack.

[nzzp]

this is a tough watch

[sparky]

At this rate Australia will score 500.

Really catch 22 here - we’ve got to at least protect the NRR but how to do that without the risks of having a proper go at it

[Donsteppa]

Phillips has been the ultimate under-bowled golden arm.

[Chris B.]

Got éem!!!

Warner c&b Philipps.

Thank fuck for that!

[Chris B.]

Pah - 177 - its only a middling T20 score!

[Damo]

There was a lot of doom and gloom earlier nine this thread. Looks to me like Australia will be lucky to get even 450 from here.
