Its Summer! - the Fever Cricket Thread. (Part 2)
C'mon "hairy javelin".........!!!!!
DRS is a beautiful thing.
can see us bowling well on this wicket...
Roscoe and "Jav Man" show...
Almost time for the traditional Ross Taylor run out....
In the space of three balls, we went from an average score and an outside chance to a crap one
FFS Taylor, you chew through all those balls, get yourself out to a soft shot on the very first ball of the power play and now the wickets are tumbling.
These constant NZ dismissals are a lot worse.
need a 5 for 20 from Boult!!!
God I hate the ausis. Vettoris last game, Johnson gets I'm and gives him the old aggro send off.
C'mon NZ Bowlers !!!
Last time Aussie only scored 151 against us ....
Just home from the nix. TV is already on mute. How come 75% of the commentators seen to be Australians?
****ing poor.
Disgraceful.
Really poor.
I believe!*
*doesn't really believe
Now we know what Ian Smith does when he's not being a Topp Twin
This annoys me. They do it in the EPL. Show the guys in suits in corporate areas looking bored all the time while having a scone, instead of actual fans.
This is still 30 more than what they got last time they faced our bowlers....
Leggy, surely watching the Aussie's in the field shows you (despite how good they are) exactly why everyone hates the australian cricket team. A bigger collective of obnoxious assholes could not be found anywhere - Watson, Clarke, Johnson, Warner, HADDIN!...

I can't believe that you missed the big show in that lot

Please don't call him that without ironic air quotes.
What nitemare final.
What disastrous sporting day.
Anderson. FFS.
Give Anderson a bowl, he's got a bit of a golden arm
Dave Dobyn...now Crouded House...stupid MCG music guy.....
Even though the game has gone it's good to see a lot of smiling and laughing from the guys out there. They'll be hurting inside but there are no sour faces and temper tantrums as there has been with other losing sides.
Also found it a bit surprising that when the names of the NZ players are mentioned by the ground announcer there is no booing. Definitely not the case in past years when there has been some pretty feral behaviour (on both sides of the Tasman to be fair). There is a level of respect there and a general enjoyment of the spectacle.
Aussie won this in the first over today to be honest. Oh well, COYN!

1] They like to show the free loaders freeloading and showing no interest in the actual game &
2] They used to specialise in picking up on the scantily clad female fans till it became uncool to do.
Aside from the coverage I would still have preferred the 12TH Man to have done the commentaries.
And yes, it has been a shark day alround for New Zealand sport, Warriors, Blues, Nix and the Cricket team all share the very same pain.
The Aussies have clearly been the better team but we haven't had much luck - they've hit quite a few inside edges and French cuts which have missed the stumps (or hit them but not dislodged the bails). This would have been easier to handle if it was against any other team but getting hammered by the Aussies in our first World Cup final really hurts. On top of the Nix result earlier, I think we should just strike today from the record. This can just be remembered as the weekend with no Sunday.
We have the entire cricketing world behind us against those pricks on Sunday. No-one wants to see them win.
Ha ha Buffy. Doubt that comment is completely correct. Most people are not as bigoted as you towards Australia.
Only Australians will be supporting Australia. Nobody else likes the Australian cricket team, and we are everyone's second team. It's good vs evil.
Looks like evil won out this weekend.
The Warriors, The Nix and now the Black Caps.
This has been such an anti-climax
What a load of bollox that was.
