Opinion NMFC Board Cricket ThreadII - Windies, Big Bash, Pakistan.

[krakouers]

Travis Head, putting Mrs Macs out of business with his bowling and SA falling for them faster than a truckie

 

[The acurate one]

Good spell from Maxwell 35 from his ten overs

 

[Mav]

Did I say how shit Cummins is?

 

[krakouers]

Chasing 213

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Did I say how s**t Cummins is?

3/51.

Not that sh!t, really.

 

[Groucho]

3/51.

Not that sh!t, really.

True and I’m a huge Pat fan but he did bowl himself rather than the guy who’d taken 2-12 off 8. Worked out ok in the end

 

[Roostorm]

Chasing 213

Hopefully no falling in a heap….stuffed heading off for night.

 

[Sillygit]

will we bottle it from here? can anyone bottle it more than SA?

 

[Sillygit]

signs pointing strongly to yes

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Bit of a worry now.

 

[Grogg]

Aaaand that's Inglis gone.

7/193 with 10 to go.

Should scrape in, but apart from Head and Warner, we have been less than convincing with the bat.

 

[KekiRoo]

Jeepers this is nerve wracking...

 

[Twinkletoes]

Two runs remaining. 3 wickets in hand.

In the bag now, and we have more material to sledge them with down the track.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Done!

Bring on the final.

 

[KekiRoo]

Never in doubt..

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Phew.

Cummins has had a seriously good year with the bat in pressure cooker situations.

 

[Samsquanch]

Done!

Bring on the final.

I'd say that Coetzee will cop a bit of verbal for not reviewing that "catch".

I also expect the media to report this as a controversial win by Australia.

Beautiful!

 

[The acurate one]

How does one say Greg Norman in Afrikaans.

 

[Mav]

3/51.

Not that sh!t, really.

Did you watch the game or just look at the stats?

 

[LuvtheKangas]

I'm in Europe and have no access to a live stream, so I just watch the Cricinfo commentary in real time. It's frustrating as hell.

It's sub-optimal, but you still get a good feel for how players are performing. After his crap first over, Cummins kept it reasonably tight, and he took the two wickets at the end. I also don't know why he didn't bowl Hazelwood at the end, but it worked out OK. Just.

I will add that stats in cricket are generally more indicative of performance than those in footy. Anyone who didn't watch a minute of the game would be entitled to look at 3/51 and conclude that Cummins' bowling performance wasn't "sh!t".

 

[Hojuman]

No need to thank me, didn't watch a ball

Be glad to hear l need to shampoo during the final so can't watch any.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

What a great coaching an captaining effort from McDonald and Cummins.

Losing the 1st 2 games then going on to win 9 straight is a fantastic effort. We could have capitulated like England and blamed Ashes exhaustion like they did but they got the boys up game after game.

Some here were saying these 2 had ripped the fight and soul out of Australian cricket but we have responded, beaten every team in the world bar India and since we were ranked 4th in the World going into this Tournament have exceeded expectations.

In saying that we're going to get pumped in the final. India are a class above. Their batting has been ridiculous and If Shami doesn't get us Jadeja will.

Sound like a jaded North supporter mate.
