Smorgasbord posted:Starc is really good, last time he was out here he was a 130km trundler that got carted everywhere. He's always been a decent enough white ball bowler. The kiwi tail offered a lot of big gates to sneak through though Wow that was hell exciting though.

Australia are the moral victors I think I hope the UAE India game will be just as exciting

Scylo posted:Australia are the moral victors I think Nah similar to the Scotland game, just setting a high run rate for the NRR, wickets are irrelevant in the calculations and you never know our final 2 might be rained out.

Some say it was a good match, but it really was a piss poor effort by what should be the two top teams for this tournament. Australia definitely needs to look at its top end batting, same can be said for NZ's middle/lower order.

I really rate Starc. Easily the best Aussie bowler.

Will surely mean NZ finish top of the pool so they can get knocked out by Ireland in the QF.

It should have been a joint MOM between Boult and Starc as both were unbelievable.

If Starc had picked up boult I wonder if williamson would have been criticised for exposing the tail in a situation where he really didn't need to. Still its all academic now.

Thankfully Mitchell Marsh being a cheating oval office and the umpires being spineless fucks didn't ruin an otherwise fantastic match.

What the ever living gently caress did they put into the water for that game? GG that was incredible to see both sides try to gently caress up worse than the other

This game just goes to show that with these tiny boundaries and bat technology as it is, bowlers are on a hiding to nothing in the modern batsman dominated game.

I am driving home from Sydney and nearly crashed 3 times listening to the game and hooting and hollering when Starc was bowling. loving Kane has balls of steel.

Shmoses posted:What are you talking about mate. Two fantastic bowling efforts in a game set up for batsman. If you didn't like that maybe you should set up a bowling machine and start a six hitting competition. I wasn't wanting sixers every ball, but I expected some good batting today, and Australia's top and middle order largely failed at that
