CWC 19 : New Zealand V Australia

[Sarge]

if NZ can break up this current partnership soonish , their bowlers should make short work of the Aussie tail

 

[Sarge]

20 overs left .... 136-5 .... Carey looking solid

 

[Sarge]

could start to get interesting now with 15 overs left, and Aussies 160-5

 

[Sarge]

Carey dropped in the 39th ... may prove costly that? 185-5 with 10 overs to go

 

[Sarge]

is that the breakthrough ?...Carey gone on 71 .... 199-6 ... NZ have 7 overs left to bowl

 

[Sarge]

209-6 .... 5 overs left

 

[Sarge]

Ferguson targeting Cummins with a few bouncers

down to the last 18 balls ....224-6

anything over 250 might be just a bit too much for NZ to chase in this heat?

 

[Sarge]

Khawaja bowled for 88 in the final over, 3 balls to go

 

[Sarge]

Starc golden duck , bowled first ball

 

[Sarge]

Boult on a hat trick

Lbw! ... ? ...Aussies review ... no ball !

 

[Sarge]

hat trick ! is that the first of this WC? ... one ball left ... 243-9 after 50 overs

 

[Sarge]

Decent start from NZ 18-0 after 5 overs

 

[Sarge]

Nichols gone on 8 in the 10th over .... 31-1 after 10 overs

 

[Sarge]

25 overs gone .... NZ 92-2

 

[SteMerritt]

hat trick ! is that the first of this WC? ... one ball left ... 243-9 after 50 overs

No, I think it was India who finished off Afghanistan with a hattrick earlier in the tournament

 

[Sarge]

Aussies 'squeezing' NZ batsmen , something has got to give either way soonish? 108-3 20 overs to go

136 needed

 

[unification]

That was brainless from de Grandhomme.

Aussies again finding another gear to slip into.

 

[Sarge]

not looking good for NZ

 

[Leysboy]

All over this one. New Zealand have been poor today, and have come up against a far better team. Even Williamson’s dismissal looked tired and lazy. Maybe just maybe we could pip them into the final four. Could go down to Run Rate.

 

[Gary Baldi]

It's quite surprising that NZ have so many batsmen in woeful nick but have done so well. Just shows what happens when you don't give your wicket away cheaply doesn't it England....
