UK - Ronaldo's House.
Would have been a tight finish if they had fielded decently. Is Inzy their fielding coach as well?
Probably :lol:

Edit: I don't like their players attitude though, always looking to blame one another. Back in school days, quite a lot of Afghans looked to do the same (maybe it's an inbuilt culture).

Doubt Agar will bowl again for a while. That over from him was rubbish.

Guptill just got out for 39 from 27 balls. Much needed wicket for AUS.

Are New Zealand any good at T20, at the moment? I sort of feel they should be (cause a few rather handy players in there) but they don't seem to perform that well - notable exception of their spinners against India.

EDIT - This is looking a shocking effort, after that start.

AUS will fancy themselves whatever New Zealand set but must avoid complacency. They'll be acutely aware, i hope, of India's struggles against NZ.

They've won 6 of their last 7 T20s so obvious form team. 5 of those have been in NZ though, the question mark has been if they can do it away from home.

Khawaja run out going for two. ''Big show" Maxwell is in, he'll either get out quickly see Australia home. There's no middle ground with Maxwell.

Warner should've sent him back, he knew a two was never on.
Plus, Khawaja isn't fast between the wickets. Warner and Khawaja have known eachother for a long, long time so Warner should have perhaps known his partner better.

Still think Oz will take this with ease, if only NZ had 20 runs more...

This pitch is making it a really interesting game. Runs to be had when the ball is hard but looks it gets really hard to score when it softens up.

Marsh, Faulkner, Nevill. They bat deep.
Nevill's shite in T20s

Mistake by Willamson, should have continued with the spinner. Another wicket would have been great.
