oh NZ.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2015
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Lost the last 7 wickets for 33 runs
So Aussies scored 30 something points for getting that last out?
Bizarre run out. Oh well, some of the kiwi batsmen will look at their dismissals and feel they should have done a lot better
That last wicket. 
Australia will probably knock off those runs for the loss of about 3 or 4 wickets, in 30-odd overs.
No, We just have to get 184 runs to win the game.
182 too low, probably... but this is a world cup final, and NZ have a very good bowling attack, Australia, in front of their home crowd, will be nervous. Early wickets and Aussies can crumble, as they did a bit against Pakistan in the quarters, the difference being NZ can catch much better
India defended 183 in the 1983 final at Lords against the mighty Windies!
NZ need to defend 183 against the mighty Aussies!
This is so ON for NZ!
NZ need to defend 183 against the mighty Aussies!
This is so ON for NZ!
The size of the ground wasn't the issue, the batsmen were just woeful. A similar performance at Eden Park would only have gotten about 20/30 extra runs, if that.
That 45 number is the number of overs that have been bowled.
Okay, thanks for the clarification.
Yeah it would have been nearly the same score. There were no lofted shots caught by fielders on the boundary to justify that they would have done much better at Eden park
Those were overs. 10 is the last wicket(out) and is not normally shown on the scorecard.
That is the number of overs bowled (teams get a max of 50 in odi cricket)
What I'm more interested in knowing is, will there be a pitch invasion?!..with Baz to take a running backwards catch to get out Smith
...Probably not.
Australia have been ruining WC finals since I started watching cricket.
So true.
Watching the highlights...whats the deal with the Aussies getting into the NZ faces after outs?
Didn't watch it in 96?
nope. Got into cricket very late. Saw only WC finals from 99 onwards. 2007 was the first full world cup I saw(12th standard break between school and college) and was also the year I started watching test cricket.
We need wickets, right fecking now.
I know people like crappy and the others have been watching cricket since they were zygotes. Probably exceptions.. I don't know a lot of people in real life who remember cricket so vividly
Fair enough. Your point is true apart from 96
Just see off the swing and then attack.
Nervous as here
Nervous as here
feck me. Cmon you kiwis!
Boult you beauty!
That's like being nervous about having a 2-0 lead with 5 minutes left against 10 men. A whooole lotta crazy shit has to happen for you to lose.
Terrible finch just terrible.
GET IN BOULT
Are there strikeouts in Cricket?
Feck yeah, come on NZ!
Smith's the big wicket. NZ need him back in the hut to even dream of a victory.
No, you can play and miss as much as you want.
Nope, no such thing
Feck man, 250 and this game would have been on.
Warner's striking it well in spite of the good bowling. Unfortunate.
