Ahh, that is better.  Can't get him out, take him out.

Broken?  He is not well anyway.

you killed Brendan

Brenon**

Brendon** ffs tired

Know where the next one is going...  lol

4444444

All comes fairly obvious really.  His best shots are the off drive, cover drive, and square cut.  Come around the wicket, aim at his throat.  Simples.

i've had a little dabble at 70s

Yeah I lumped the games profits on at 70 also.  McCullum be off soon either out.

And Guptill out too...

FIRST WICKET

can you see a collapse, BJT?

70s a gift from the gods

if any team are worth 70s then it aus. johnson seems to have a head of steam

Irrespective of any result, I've a feeling NZ are going to end up the losers in this match. Clarke/Johnson may have just put McCullum out of the WC.

And when I say lumped, it is comparable to a lump in your urine.  Haven't really played, didn't get a chance.  Was up 27 bucks, so put 25 on at 70 lol.

Figure McCullum gone now, Guptill was a bonus.  Can see a few early ones, although Williamson is very well rated by me.

Not that it's bothering him!

Around the wicket, at the throat ffs.

what a batsman. This is brutal. The English must be feeling a bit better now.

Fair to say Aus needed the run..  lol.  Take a bit of condition out of it hopefully.

Gee that could have been knee ending.

Behind on comparison.  Aus were 1/80....  Game on.... 

100/5 would be interesting

had a few shillings @ 150 too

Scotland showed how fragile NZ batting could be.

think that was more to do with net r/r

A little. There was certainly some reckless abandon about that innings.

elliot and anderson don't really like it up em'. ronchi is the danger man here. williamson will just try and bat through

Isn't Luke Ronchi actually Australian? Will give him an extra edge.

yeh he is, got that mongrel in him!

what odds nz 100/5?

New Zealand born and bred.  Emigrated to Australia.

you've been reading cricinfo!

Of course I have.  Not where I got that from.  Pretty well known I thought.  Did check google to confirm though.

i thought he was an aussie because the comms often say it for some reason.

Well he played for Australia and did well, but couldn't get a spot because of Haddin so took off back to NZ to try and play international cricket.

anyway, hope he's batting in the next 30 mins!

His name reminds me of a chocolate bar.

lol  Another one bites the dust.

yes

Middle stumpski

Plum

back in the juicy green

1.01 backers arse's twitching

strange old game this is.

WTF....guess im up early for the India game.................

Australia were in trouble from decisions made  by Australia.  New Zealand in trouble from decisions made by Australia.  Regardless of what happens here, I think Australia take more confidence out of it that they are still well in control of how they perform against New Zealand.

How he isn't out is beyond me.  No clue.

think now aus will beat nz in the finals, especially in oz

Aus won't play NZ in the finals in Aus I don't think will they?  Unless the final?  If they face each other, the team that finished on top gets the home game.

in the semi or final?

think the semi will be in nz & the final in sydney?

can't remember i read it two weeks ago!

The Grand Final is at the MCG

One semi final is in Auckland where this game is, one is in Sydney. It's only if Aus have to play NZ in that where the higher ranked team plays at home.

with regards to the semi at eden park - If New Zealand qualifies for the semi-finals they will play in this match unless they play Australia, in which case the team finishing higher in the pools has home ground advantage

Yeah.  Figured the final would be locked in, and if they finish 1/2 probably won't face each other til the final anyway?

Assuming all games go according to plan...

The quarter-final match-ups will be determined by the finishing positions from the pool stage.

Quarter-final 1 A1 v B4
Quarter-final 2 A2 v B3
Quarter Final 3 A3 v B2
Quarter Final 4 A4 v B1

Semi-final 1 Winner QF1 (A1 v B4) v Winner QF3 (A3 v B2)
Semi-final 2 Winner QF2 (A2 v B3) v Winner QF4 (A4 v B1)

So if it's NZ 1st, Aus 2nd in their pool, they cant meet til the final.

fixing why willamsan take a single

And there goes everything positive NZ could take out of it.  Luck goes 50/50, NZ won't get close.

Jeeezzzz cricket............


Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzz........... evens..................

I wonder if batting first on that tiny ground is a disadvantage...

How high did NZ go at the end?

180.00               £478
190.00               £258
200.00               £59
210.00               £46
220.00               £4
230.00               £14
240.00               £82
250.00               £97
270.00               £6
280.00             £69
290.00               £6
300.00             £142

took a loss on the game but my word NZ can take very little from that, they got the win and full credit to them but they played an under prepared Aus team on their own soil and only JUST got it done

we can't play much worse than that, if we meet again I have no doubt Aus win

Whatever happens that was a shocking display from Aus. They should've taken Johnson out of the attack in the 4th over. Not a good strategy to keep him bowling. Apart from the Southee crisis early on New Zealand were far more intelligent with their attack.

Can't see Aus getting to the final to be fair. SA v NZ final

SA r sh1t.

Australia win this in an eased down canter, there's no way NZ are beating us on this size of ground

They've been beating the likes of Sri Lanka, Pakistan and England and that's where this aura of invincibility has come from, we've been beating on the likes of India and South Africa (convincingly, too)

it doesn't matter what the conditions are, our bowlers are better, our batsman are better and we have our world class captain back who by all report is as fit as a fiddle, NZ rely too heavily on 1 or 2 players and that's never a good situation against one of the best bowling attacks in the world

you could say I am very confident

I made a prediction and I was wrong, not the first time and won't be the last

more than half the mugs around here are willing to do

if u lost on this game lay eng v sri lanka they r odds on.

Yeah fair play second coming you stuck your head over the parapet - perhaps you

struck a slightly too bombastic tone.

To be fair to SecondComing a lot of people read Australia's chances wrong...They are still favourites so they are still being misread...It's like Cricket analysis dyslexia.

I think both sides batting could be exposed by the opposition's bowling. Although New Zealand more so.

OTOH, Watto, an injury prone Clarke and Smith don't fill me with confidence they will make runs.

A low scoring match, which the chasing side wins.

Beating my own drum, but not a bad OP I'd say.

Cant argue with that pxb - called it spot on.

jesus christ I missed all the action, some people must have made some serious ££££

amazing game

how high did the market panic on NZ?

evens

was a good game!

I just don't comment on here in play any-more...it seems what I write on here is mentioned on Sky a few minutes later lol.

spot on pxb
loving the brand of cricket from this NZ side and fckin hell KW at the end my hero

nobody from sky readsthi forum

evens ffs when ronchi hit that 6 near the end I put 50 quid on aus at 200 (pure speculation). I then went out and didn't put a lay bet on

I'd agree that the convict bowling attack is good, particularly on wickets that aren't great for bowling, but i still think that their batting isn't as strong as recent performances suggest.

I wouldn't go as far to call them flat track bullies, but their approach and selection is best suited to weaker bowling attacks and better batting conditions, and i think it showed that they can be undone by a quality bowling side like new zealand. (Steyn seems off at the moment and SA lack the depth in quality that NZ have. )

If they do meet again, i think bowling conditions are the decisive factor: Australia's bowlers and batsmen are collectively better on wickets that offer less for the bowlers.

The Aussie batsmen are weak against the moving or turning ball. Unfortunately it looks like

they will be playing the rest of the tournament in Australia on pitches that will suit their

batsmen Their battery of quality quicks will make them very hard to beat.

Have yet to see a ball bowled that didnt move or turn........

Funny man
