[PARRA_FAN]

Yeah the batting didnt help, but we still couldve won had Johnson not bowled terrible. Surprisingly he was the only bowler with a maiden.

Starc MOM.

Guess this game might make the Saffas favourites?

 

[shiznit]

SA will be licking their lips watching this match :lol:

In hope they were....

They just got a lesson from both teams about coolness under pressure and not choking...

 

[umina panther]

Lol as if Starc didn't outbowl Boult

 

[Meth]

Starc MOM.

definitely

 

[Meth]

Lol as if Starc didn't outbowl Boult

he did.

But winners are grinners

 

[Wizardman]

What a game...haha!

 

[Bazal]

He's definitely not a test bowler yet

Well how can he be expected to be when he never gets more than a test or two at a time? He started to look good by the end of the summer and will only improve, but he can't do that if he's not given a run in the side. He's better than a shield cricket level bowler easily

 

[Canard]

That decision to bowl Johnson probably cost us the game, in the end. But our batting performance didn't warrant a victory. Starc cops shit from all angles but give him a good run at any level and he will be an absolute weapon

Starc has always been a gun white ball bowler.

NZ had the opportunity to stamp their authority and be favourites for this World Cup, but South Africa will hold that mantle now.

Awful batting from both sides

Are SA that good? They were very poor in Melbourne

 

[Bazal]

Starc MOM.

Should have been Williamson for mine. In the face of Starc, he won the game

 

[umina panther]

he did.

But winners are grinners

Honestly hope you guys win it all if us or Ireland don't

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

So...

Aside from the 8-26, 3-1, and 5-15 batting collapses, it wasn't that bad. :sarcasm:

 

[Liddell]

Cracking finish, congrats NZ.

Poor old Starc. I wish some of the batsmen showed that kind of heart.

 

[Wizardman]

Cricket is the winner!!!

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Good fightback by Australia,we played the worst we possibly could and still almost won,bring in Haze and Faukner whilst getting rid of Watto and we got dis.

 

[Mr Angry]

NZ, world class number three
Australia continues to carry a dud there.

 

[Meth]

Honestly hope you guys win it all if us or Ireland don't

I think Australia are still favourites. Bad day at the office for you blokes but its a long tournament

Starc has always been a gun white ball bowler.

weren't that impressive v the Zimbots either

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Starc is a way better ODI bowler than Boult,Boult is a way better Test bowler than Starc
