BookMan Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Australia v New Zealand: David Warner slams fans over 'derogatory and vulgar' abuse David Warner has lashed out at New Zealand cricket crowds, saying they crossed the line with "derogatory and vulgar" abuse hurled at Australia's cricketers while they fielded in the second Test at Christchurch. Warner confirmed reports he and teammates had been subjected to verbal taunts by members of the crowd about personal matters, including direct references to family members. "It doesn't matter if you're home or away, you're going to cop some form of abuse, but we don't expect to be hounded for six or seven hours," Warner told the ABC. "A couple of the bowlers were down on the boundary and you get your odd banter here and there, but when they're talking about people's families and stuff it takes it a little bit too far and some of the boys raised the issue. Some of the stuff was pretty derogatory and pretty vulgar and the upsetting thing was the fact that, I know if my two daughters were in the crowd I wouldn't want them listening to that sort of stuff."

Will27 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Thought last nights T20 game against SA was a perfect example of why the Aussies are ranked so low. The boys got off to a great start and Smith comes in at 2/69 off 6 overs. Then proceeds to scratch around and gets out for 6 off of 17, <deleted>! It's a hit out or get out game. You can't take 3 overs to get your eye in. Also think Warner should open with Finch and drop Khawaja to 3. Maxwell disappointing again. Maybe drop him for Watson for the next game. WA boys Coulter-Nile and MM flew the flag. Also, Zampa bowled well in his debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to Agar making his debut. Yep A great game of cricket. Still wish the Aussies would bat first when they win the toss on decks like that. I reckon 3 changes from last nights game to our WC side. Zampa for Agar, Kwajaja for Watson and Coulter-Nile for Hazlewood.

farmerjo Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 We're all pretty close with our selections. For me it will be Khawaja and whoever for a left/right combination. Watson gets the nod from me as taking pace off the ball will be important for a couple of overs if Marshy is being belted. I would like to think Finch,Watson and Smith play out for a spot. Even though Smith got some runs last night you get the feeling he can get out any ball and by not finishing it off last night,didn't take the responsibility required.(harsh i know) If it comes down to Watson or Finch,it's still a good headache to give opposition teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure if T20 is his go to be honest. I'd leave him out, but as captain, that's not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookMan Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) World Twenty20: New Zealand Black Caps stun India in Cup opener New Zealand have spun their way to a 47-run win over India, toppling the World Twenty20 hosts with a superb Mitchell Santner-led performance in the field in Nagpur. Extracting prodigious turn at times, the Black Caps' trio of spinners took nine wickets between them as the tournament favourites succumbed for 79 in the 19th over in response to New Zealand's 7-126. The result blows Australia's group wide open, with only two teams to progress out of India, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan and Bangladesh - and two losses likely to be enough to result in an early exit.

7by7 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 After being beaten virtually single handedly by Gayle, England had to beat South Africa to maintain any real chance of advancing beyond the group stage. But South Africa's 229/4 meant that England had to pull off the second ever highest international T20 run chase to win. Very few gave them any chance. But they started with intent: Hales and Roy putting on 44 in the first two overs, helped by one attempted bouncer from Rabada in the first over going for 5 wides. England tried to maintain the pace, but wickets started to fall and, as in South Africa's innings, the spinners coming on and restricting the scoring. Then enter Joe Root. He and Butler added 75 in 6 overs before Butler was stumped, and Root went on to score 83 off 44 balls before being caught by Miller off Rabada with England needing just 11 from the final 10 balls. England still managed to lose two more wickets before Moeen scored the winning run with 2 balls to spare. World Twenty20 2016: Joe Root helps England beat South Africa An exciting batting display from both sides; but it has to be said some of the bowling from both was woeful. England's cause being helped by the third highest scorer in their innings; extras; 26 in total, 6 leg byes and 20 wides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch for Smith is looking better everyday even on the captaincy side of things.. Did i read somewhere Finch is #1 batsmen in t20 world cricket? Will mentioned before about Smith taking too long to get his runs... last night again, 12 off 14?; Against New Zealand the batting was scratchy apart from Khawaja, until Warner ran him out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
