Final: Australia vs New Zealand

[Ari]

Better from Franklin, around the wicket and very full.

Yea he looks better when he attacks with the ball rather than trying to contain.

 

[angryangy]

And just one from it, a break in momentum. Perhaps a turning point?

 

[irottev]

Much better. He actually looked relatively threatening.

Australia have this to lose now. We needed wickets and McCullum squandered the chance.

Bond not looking as threatening this spell, might have better luck after the ball change.

 

[irottev]

Fair call, can't give that. Looked good at the time though.

What game are you watching? White was lucky not to be out off that short ball. A few of the fuller ones had him also. It's hard to match that first spell though. Not much luck for Bondy.

Posted a ball before that short ball

Nice 50 by White and what a way to bring it up, he definitely looks good at 4.

 

[irottev]

Australia batted fantastic, it's a tough pitch to bat on they played really well to play out the early overs and get themselves in. They deserved to win. They have the game. We miss Vettori badly in the middle overs and his batting could have bailed us out a bit again. Probably needed more luck to go Bond and Mills way early for more wickets, they deserved more for sure. That McCullum drop though goes down as the turning point. That was a crucial wicket. That would have kept the pressure on and exposed a new batsman.

Don't think we were right in batting first either. It's a good ground to chase on obviously plus we seem better at it.

 

[aussie1st]

That wicket came out of no where, good reward for Mills and his earlier spell. Another wicket will make this game interesting.

 

[ZexyZahid]

White is out. Hopefully we will get an exciting finish.

White is out. Hopefully we will get an exciting finish.

Not a prayer

If Watto gets a ton here, then he is player of the tourny for sure

Hmarka added 4 Minutes and 14 Seconds later...

Hussey gone

 

[aussie1st]

Kiwis in with a chance now, but will need a few more quick wickets. Poor shot by Hussey not the way an experienced batter like him should be getting out.

 

[McLOVIN]

dont wanna jinx, but Watson getting a 100 here! he should!

and he should get the MOT and MOM

MacLovin added 1 Minutes and 25 Seconds later...

wait nvm he got 2 ducks. just MOM it is

 

[pcfan123]

2 centuries and 6 wickets under 20 runs is pretty darn good though. He might get MOT , considering Pontings efforts today and Vettori not playing

 

[aussie1st]

Hopes is looking much better today and hes doing it under a relatively pressure situation.
