2nd ODI: Australia v New Zealand at Canberra on Dec 6, 2016

[chigurh]

That was a good over from Starc, just great batting from Guptill.

Clarke talks like people do when they are politely disciplining children.

 

[vvvrulz]

Guptill on fire, if there's going to be any miracle it's going to be around him.

A flawed 'modern' player but he's great to watch when it's on.

 

[Tommy Smith]

A bit late to the party but how about the levers on Marsh?!

Get him back in the Test side ASAP.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Guptill owns Plodstralia

 

[vvvrulz]

I'm just glad we didn't see Show -> Fatty, we'd be chasing 478

 

[Tommy Smith]

That is one of the most insipid, limp wristed bowling performances I've seen for a very long time. NZ were deadset disgraceful. I'd be tearing strips off my second graders for an effort half that bad. Disgusting

And tbh Bradmanson did absolutely nothing to try and turn the tide as a captain, he was clueless

They melt against the Aussies.

I still can't believe they chose to bowl first.

The Aussies love setting a target with the big hitting, long batting line up they possess. And then Starc does the rest against a desperate line up.

 

[Hutty1986]

Need to f**k Guptill off asap

 

[Hutty1986]

8 of the worst 10 ODI bowling chokes of all time belong to Australia...doesnt surprise me

 

[vvvrulz]

They melt against the Aussies.

Not in the last decade or so, we generally step up in coloured games at least.

I just can't fathom what the hell is going on with us, I will note that the instant Shane Bond disappeared as our bowling coach our attack hasn't looked the same.

Tubby trying to steer Clarke away from the action to more hokey nostalgic bollocks nobody cares about.

Yes we know about the 438 chase, yes we know about the world cups, call the damn game.

 

[hineyrulz]

Game on moles!!

Remember the 438 or so the Saffas chased down?

I still remember that so well. What a batshit insane, once in a century game of cricket that was!

Lol I'm not watching the coverage so I promise i wasn't taking a cue from Tubby in bringing up the 438 chase.

 

[Hutty1986]

Carn boys, lets get a few more quick wickets

 

[vvvrulz]

Lol I'm not watching the coverage so I promise i wasn't taking a cue from Tubby in bringing up the 438 chase.

lol all is forgiven, and you're right I remember being gobsmacked when I checked Cricinfo the next morning.
In those days a single score that size was incomprehensible, and it got chased!

Not as much fun now, 400s and double centuries seem commonplace.

 

[tomdl]

Bradmansons got this

 

[Hutty1986]

The two key wickets out there now

 

[vvvrulz]

Latham goes, KW is probably the only guy who can bat through with Guptill.
Get both of them soonish and we might as well fly home.

 

[tomdl]

When is the next match? Will Usman be finished with the shield game to replace Fatty Finch?
