T20 WC WARM UP GAME: Australia v New Zealand at Fatullah Mar 19, 2014

[TheParraboy]

I think Aussie games deserve their own thread, particularly those games starting at a decent hour. This one kicks off at 8.30pm tonight

Notch out of the tournament replaced by Douggie

On TV?

 

[TheParraboy]

not that I can see

 

[TheParraboy]

Aust 0/113 - 8 overs

Warner 65 from 26

 

[Rod]

Ugh.

I guess silver lining is guys like Hira won't be getting a look in come the real stuff most likely.

 

[TheParraboy]

Aust 7/200 - 20 overs

Warner 65, Finch 47 both retired at 0/113, effectively 2/113 - 8 overs

5/87 - 12 overs from the remainder

 

[TheParraboy]

kiwis solid start

0/37 - 4 overs

 

[TheParraboy]

kiwis on track

3/132 - 12 overs

Muirhead 2/40 - 3 overs

Looks like Starc won the match.

Still sort of shows our weakness though. If Warer and Finch fail (and it is T20...it can happen)...the rest are inconsistent t best. Starc is a brilliant T20 bowler. We actually improve with no Johnson in the side as him and NCN are better T20 bowlers. I would be going with both Muirhead and Hogg in these conditions

 

[TheParraboy]

I think they got the batting order right

Finch, Warner, Sunshine and Maxwell. Any of those two get going its game over. One of those get going then we still have enough batsman to post a huge score, with Bailey, Hodge and Haddin to follow.

I don't think White will make the main 11

 

[lockyno1]

If White is in the final side he must bat in the top 4.

 

[TheParraboy]

and must not bowl

 

[maple_69]

Warner is just unstoppable at the moment. Hard to see him getting out cheaply. His growth as a test player has made him a better T20 player.

 

[TheParraboy]

I see we are favourites to take it out, Im not so sure

We rely too much on Warner. I don't think we have the spin bowlers on those wickets

I wouldn't be surprised if we don't make the semi final stages such is the unpredictability of t20

 

[Twizzle]

Its T/20, anything can happen
