Cricket - Aus vs NZ

  Craziest game I've ever watched, reckon McCullum's innings was the difference.

Hats off to Kane Williamson for finishing off the game in style

20 more runs and it would probably have been Australia's....but our cuzzy bro's bowled very well. Nice to see Starc coming along nicely....and the fact that bowlers had a major impact on a result instead of the insane run feasts we have been seeing lately.

Thank the aussie selectors

Thank the aussie selectors for losing us the game. Don't change a team that's already winning. Clarke shouldn't be in the side at the expense of an in form Bailey. If they wanted Clarke in that bad they should have gotten rid of an out of form batsman. That over rated show pony Watson comes to mind

Exciting finish to the game though & congrats to the Kiwis

Im one for Watson to go, at his best he is ok ...but he hasn't been at his best for a long time. Maxwell is batting too far down the list

They didn't perform in this game but both have been in good form lately, unlike Watson who hasn't been getting runs for a very long time now. Smith & Marsh both deserve to keep their spots.

The hard decision for me is where to get Faulkner into the line up when he comes back. Choosing between Faulkner & Marsh isn't easy.

 Yeah Watson in a pickle, I reckon we're the only team to drop a captain for a captain!

 Watson gone Smith to 3 then

Sun, 2015-03-01 06:29

 Watson gone Smith to 3 then maxwell, Bailey and Clarke gets another go but needs runs. is Faulkner still injured? They could even move haddin to 3. What's happened to the change of pace deliveries that they seem to love in 20 20? the blokes smashing you for 6 I would think bowling the same delivery over and over isn't wise I didn't understand either the bowling or batting by the aussies lucky starc had a clue. Seemed like a couple got caught in the moment finch in particular

 Poor old Watto...

As for Bailey, he was hardly in form...his 50 against England was a bit scratchy and had done practically nothing prior to that for months...well since that Indian ODI series at the start of last year. Clarke to me back in was a no brainer.

Love to see Faulkner back...would strengthen the side a fair bit.
