2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Game 27 Australia v New Zealand 28/10 1530hrs @ HPCA Stadium

Win the toss bat first please thats our best method. Put a score on the board and defend it

I am not confident chasing on a wearing pitch against the spin.

It's a world cup it only happens every 4 years, nine games is not nearly enough. It's not that T20 garbage where 1 game is too many. It's the bridge between selling your soul and actual cricket.

Cricket is a bat, a ball (preferably a 4 piece), 3 stumps, 2 bails, a pitch (preferably turf), 11 players a side, and 2 umpires.
People who try to over complicate it, to come across as “old school”, really is childish.

 

[crows dude]

A big game, we need to win to be able to finish 2nd or 3rd. Lose and we can still finish 4th even if losing one more game.
That aside, it won't be long before some dead rubber games start. 9 games is arguably a little too long in my view.

Play everyone once. Totally fair.

 

[Plugger35]

any reason in particular why we have the early game?

Not sure why this is the early game, the other Saturday double headers have had the minnows game earlier and the contenders game later.

Maybe this is the early game as it suits the Australian and NZ time zones better.

I agree it is fair, also the risk you are disadvantaged by a couple of washouts is minimised.
I do think that the fact there is t20 world cup does affect the optimal structure for the 50 over cup. I am not a big t20 fan by the way ( I watch big bash as it is on, some games enjoyable, sometimes a bit cringworthy).

Yeah, batting first (given the opportunity) seems our stronger suite & best chance of winning in this tournament...Against India in a final is really the only time to possibly reassess that.

They've gone with 4 specialist bowlers in every game so far...Highly doubt they'll change that now.

NZ send us into bat

 

[Westend]

Good batting first

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Latham you dumb campaigner

 

[Plugger35]

First blood to NZ winning the toss, hopefully there is some movement around for our bowlers early on.

Normally I would prefer to bat first but that's for day/night games, for day games like this one I would rather bowl first.

FMD drop Green and Marnus stays in.

You have half your wish.

yeah don't see the reason of playing the extra batter..would of gone the allrounder in Stoinis or Green

they are already talking about using marnus as the floater...so what's the point ?

 

[Cleavy]

FMD drop Green and Marnus stays in.

hopefully it means Marsh is fine to bowl if required.

 

[yabsy]

Thought they might go with this extra batting line up, unless Stoinis still has a niggle...I'd go;
5.Maxwell
6.Lab
7.Inglis

I hope the Aussies are ready for New Zealand's grand final.

Our grand final is tomorrow morning ..........

 

[JimmyBC]

NZ usually go to water against us it'll be interesting to see if they've developed any ticker.

 

[Plugger35]

Our grand final is tomorrow morning ..........

Aussies don't care about rugby union anymore now that the Wallabies are a laughing stock.

NZ usually go to water against us it'll be interesting to see if they've developed any ticker.

We've done better than Australia at the last ODI and T20 World Cups, not bad for a team without any ticker.

World Cups have to be earned.
