Hope Kane doesn't take too much longer to find his stroke.

our run rate is hopeless
Yeah our boys aren't settled at all, immense pressure from the Australian attack.
Holy crap a boundary
Aaaahhh feck.
Maxwell you ripper
Victorian boy doing good.

We are completely fecked
This is a terrible game.
Johno gets his man
Completely usurprising. But very sad too. This tournament, full of lopsided matches, needs to at least close with a bang.
Two really really poor wickets in quick succession. This bowling attack is talented enough, no need to keep giving them gimmies.
The body has been laid in the coffin; the nails are being hammered in.
Australia in very strong position now.
New Zealand had to play out the first 15. That was a pre requisite. Need a giant partnership from somewhere now.
At this point, NZ probably would have preferred to lose the toss
Meh. NZ are fecked.
What's the minimum score required on this pitch to make the match competitive? 250?
Something tells me Australia would have chosen to field anyway.
They should of bowled and backed themselves to chase 280-320.
Taylor and Elliot might be the ideal partnership to try and salvage this match. The former may not be in form, but these two are old heads who might be less prone to mentally folding.
That's reaching though, things are looking more than grim.

I really hope this isn't an anti climax.
Yeah that could be.
That would have been a really brave thing to do. They could well have been in two minds and that's why I feel they would have preferred to lose the toss
Hazelwood is going to be a big key for us in the Ashes.
Very McGrath like.

Nah. McCullum has a few faults, but being unsure isn't one of them.
Given how MCG matches have gone this world cup, don't think it was bad decision to bat first. Some v. good bowling from Australia and the resultant pressure along with occasion's has led to wickets and this situation.
I'm pretty sure the big key to beating England is making sure you turn up to the right ground on the right day.
Can confirm.
Well this is disappointing. Was backing NZ to win. Very likeable team with some great players. Probably be the last international match for McCullum and Vettori.
Hard to say how much is defensible. I rate New Zealand's bowling attack a lot higher than Australia's batting. Only Smith and Clarke I rate as top class batsmen. And Clarke hasn't looked at his best yet.
Shut up Simon Dull, stop being so dull. We've got a WC final going on.
NZ are fecked if they lose this review.
Still third in the rankings, despite the horror show in Aus and a loss to Sri Lanka. Won their last test series very easily against India...
phewww
Terrible decision really
Good review.
Warne's a terrible commentator.
Really biased, as you would expect. He tries to justify everything with regards to Australia.
Warnie puts too much emphasis on body language
NZ will have a chance if these two can get 100 partnership or close to it. They need something to defend, and hopefully get it.
And they get a boundary, woo. First one in 10 overs, damn!
