The Aussies can't handle the pressure. For all their arrogance and smack-talking they're actually really mentally weak.

We squeaked in. 3 players did well, I hope the others start performing against the tougher teams. Today was a good yard stick for us. Williamson saving the blushes. Bloody nice six to win it with though. "Right off the meat of the bat" - "blow it out your arse Bill" - The 12th Man. We should have gotten him over here to do the commentaries. Heaps better than Nisbitt and Smith etc.

Haha, classic match thread post from me. But I stand by it (sort of)- we got the wobbles but we won. And I still feel that on paper the Aussies are man-for-man a better side than us. We have a better captain and a better attitude and that was the difference IMO.

Also, Vettori deserves a big chunk of the praise along with Boult, Williamson, and Baz. Just when the Aussies looked like they were getting away he tightened the screws. What a legend. Winning the World Cup would be such a fitting signoff to his career.

Oh yeah, and if you want funny commentary on NZ cricket games you should check out the Alternative Commentary Collective LG: https://www.iheart.com/live/alternative-comntry-col...
