MCGGG Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 match fixing? what? kiwis are fixing matches? not international games and certainly none of their current players, but it could explain why Australia hasnt agreed to play them lately, without being sure of course.
MCGGG Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 Bailey isn't playing' date=' captain spud Clarke is back to tear another hammy!:(([/quote'] I think "spuds" a bit disrespectful, he's one of the best captains in the world and if his bodys right we all know he can bat, brilliant fielder too.
jonas10 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Australia will win. Nz isn't great outside of nz. They will be exposed at home. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

adi B Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 when does the match start?gotta wake up early
MK55 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 when does the match start?gotta wake up early 6:30

Done nothing in ODI cricket for 2 years.
envy99_2000 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 New Zealand favourites.. Bowl will swing . beware of southe and boult
MK55 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 All depends on Brendon and Kane. Brendon more so as he can take apart any attack. If Aus gets these two early, I'll say they'll have 95% chance of winning. the same cannot be said about Aus as they have got powerful batters till no 8
brendan07 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 New Zealand favourites.. Bowl will swing . beware of southe and boult No it won't, well it won't more than usual anyway. It isn't Wellington where the ball hoops like a boomerang. Meant to be quite calm, blue skies. Perfect day. It won't swing much.

The question will be who does better out of the 5th bowler. Both sides have 4 guns who can bowl, get wickets. Both sides have a weak 5th bowler.
envy99_2000 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Which team will have advantage because it's a shorter ground.?
brendan07 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Which team will have advantage because it's a shorter ground.? Probably Australia, a few more hitters down the order if needed, especially if McCullum goes early. Million dollar question is can Starc/Cummins or MJ get McCullum early. If they do, I'd back Australia. If not, the match becomes tough as he is one bloke that can win the game off his own bat.
veer Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 At least the timing is good @ 3.30 am. Should be over before India match starts Ummm... nope. Its 6:30A IST and then India game starting at 12. Will be over lapping a bit.

He isn't there to bludgeon the attack, he's there to settle the innings if need be, And mate, it's not an important match really, fact is it means nothing, win or lose our finals will be played in Australia.

adi B Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Which team will have advantage because it's a shorter ground.? its basically match up between 1)hitters like baz,ronchi,corey vs maxwell,marsh,warner 2)anchors/consolidators like rosco,kane,guptil vs finch,smith,clarke. its pretty neck and neck imho
adi B Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 this is the scorecard of our match against nzl in auckland http://www.espncricinfo.com/new-zealand-v-india-2014/engine/match/667645.html B->
envy99_2000 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Team batting first and making 300 will have distinct advantage.
