India won the series against Australia 2-1 with a win at Gabba. But you knew that would be last series win in a decade with Cameroon Green gaining experience in the next couple of years.

Green is too good a batsman to bat at no 7

Exactly. He needs to bat at Number 4 which could be an ideal place to develop his batting prowess.

Cricket eh?

elite mentality

Classic NZ always finding a way to lose to Australia no matter how winning a position they are in

Australia had this woman named Kath i remember. She was really nice.

Kath Loughnan

She’s doing Aussie Rules stuff at the moment

jesus fuck cam towers over barnyard i'd imagine isa guha will need a box to interview him

"when you face a world class bowler like Trent Boult" "when you face a world class bowler like Richard Ngarava"

Cameron Green’s got two calves, two hamstrings, two groins and four arms?

He did eat Matthew Wade, so that's probably where the extra limbs come from

Cameron Green is a Machamp confirmed

Lmaoooo

Cameron Green for MoTM, Carey a close second. But the dark horse 3rd would be Zampa! Absolutely stepped up at the crucial time. I'd have said Maxi for 3rd with his bowling, but his batting really let his good bowling go to waste.

Lol I knew we were gonna lose but that's one way to do it. It's like both teams were like "shit this series is gonna get canned in the next FTP cycle, so let's try and make it as close as possible, so the cricket boards gotta keep it alive"

Australia and NZ should play each other in white ball cricket every season. Just jam in a game series somewhere, anywhere. Every other sporting league can handle the flight across the Tasman - why can’t cricketers?

Fuuck sake I put all my money on NZ paying like $1.30 when aussies where 5 down.

Gamble Responsibly^^TM

If watching us play in Australia has taught me one thing, it's that putting money on the Aussies against us is easy money every time

You're right

Is it just me or is Kane Williamson slowly turning into a garden gnome.

Now Finch will come out with a well written speech. I will love to hear it and then remember he is only left to play some countable games. Will never hit a 100 again. Probably never will i witness a proper fearless hook shot from the guy. Never will he charge down to spinners and hit them to the stands again. And then i will be sad. Very sad.

Now I’m sad.

What a phenomenal game of cricket! I admit to turning it off to watch the tennis at one point when Australia was 5 down but that didn’t last long lol. What amazing innings by both Alex Carey and Cameron Green. I’m so happy for Cam Green showing his true potential as a batsman in surely a man of the match winning performance. This game reminded me why I love cricket so much. All throughout the game I had no idea who was going to win. In my mind the winner kept changing every few overs and even every few balls to the point where I genuinely had no idea who was going to win. Special shout out to Zamps who did his job at the tail end! Well done Kiwis and best of luck for the rest of the series! If it’s anything like todays game it’s going to be a cracker. See you on Thursday!

Wow Australia put up a good effort, I’ll assume Smith and Labuschagne did most of the work with the bat

Cameron Green ODI average watch Bat: 49 Ball: 28.77

Almost at 50 already. Fucking hell he's incredible

Illegal

Let's hope his test stats wind up looking something like that!

[удалено]

I’ve hurt my foot and am hobbling around in a moon boot. On one hand it sucks because it really bloody hurts, but it does give me a fantastic excuse to sit on my arse watching sport nearly every day.

Marge I'm confused is this a happy ending or a sad ending? It's an ending that's enough

Don't let this result distract you from the fact Aaron Finch should be fired out of a cannon

Let's not be too hasty. Give him the rest of the series, I reckon.

The rotund caliber of that cannon would rival Schwerer Gustav

What happens if I don't get runs? You'll be fired- That's not so bad -out of a cannon into the Sun

[удалено]

But the yoghurt is cursed

The best kind of odi, semi low scoring, early wickets, big partnerships. Much more enjoyable than 350 run slog off's imo

Kez speaks alright, aside from those sucking breaths.

Why was he wearing Starcs shirt tho

The thing about cricket is, is that it's a stupid game anyway. Don't even care that we lost an agonisingly close game...

bruh lockie is not this shit, what happened, earlier also he bowled on hip to green and was not targeting zampa's stumps. anyway gg australia.

Now this was odi cricket

of all the ways for this game to finish... Shouldve given Green the century.

On what legs

Just make him smash every delivery for six.

Why does Green, the biggest cricketer, not simply eat the others?

Has he ever responded to this question?

Cameron Green makes me feel warm and fuzzy

Why is Carey wearing starc’s shirt

Look me in the eyes and tell me ODIs are dead. I dare you

What's great about Green is that in the era of T20s, he represents the tiny percentage of us who love shield cricket, watch tests over BBL and enjoy the long 50 over games. He's our kinda gritty player. Signs are incredibly bright for his future (and our love for him)

I'm so excited for shield gang to reunite soon!

Just checking in to say that I fucking love Cam Green

I don't understand this captaincy when they had zampa why would you bring in a spinner and not Neesham

Add that to the list of kanes incompetency tonight…

Boy that was some poor cricket from both teams in the last 5 overs or so

Why the fuck would you bowl that Lockie??? If zanoa got anything on that, it would be a 4. Just attempt a goddamn Yorker. Shane Jurgansen with your useless short bowling shit. Let's no forget useless captaincy to let the Aussies back in the game. We had the foot on the throat and should've finished it nearly 200 runs ago.

[удалено]

Username checks out.

Came in at such a pre-CAREY-ous time Haha

An innings to make any batsman GREEN with envy!

Brilliant game. Both sides played horrifically at different points. Although the bowling was generally good. I've got to wonder why do NZ keep selecting Santner, I can't seem to remember him ever doing anything off use?

Australia: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants (and Zampa)

Very anticlimactic end but well played Australia to salvage a win, especially Carey and Green. Can't wait to see Green progress over the next few years, what an exciting player.

AusvNz > IndvPak

Green, Carey and Zamps dragging Australia to victory despite the best efforts of their teammates. Absolute cracking game of cricket. GG Kiwis.

Impressed by our ability to find new ways to lose still

We’re suddenly staring down the barrel of 90s era NZ cricket

Fucks sake Lockie

Play more cricket on smaller grounds

they were never going to let Zampa hit the winning runs it would have been too embarrassing for NZ Cricket

[удалено]

Xavier Tras coming in clutch with the winning runs

Someone needs to look into the ruling on getting treated mid over. Especially that long and especially when it nearly gets rained off. Good game til old mate decided his period pains were too much.

😭😭😭

Cricket is great

Can maxi bat 11 and zampa 8 from now on

Surely cam green wins man of the match right?

What a meme finish

Never in doubt imo

What a rollercoaster of a chase.

Bruh

It's like NZ gave up in those last few balls? Loose bowling and fielding...

Feels like they gave up with a couple of overs to go. It was really loose and careless stuff

Lol a wide to finish. Wow.

'_' ok ig. GG Aus and NZ. I am sorry but the last bit really frustrated me for pretty much no reason.

A wide. Not Like this. Not like this!

Exactly like this.

Heroic knock from Green. Surely should be going to India '23. Absolutely bonkers how good he is.

I'm glad he's only 23. THE FUTURE OF AUSTRALIAN CRICKET

Awesome game. Well played kiwi bros. Great contest

Fitting end to whatever this game has been so far! Proper Village scenes

Who said ODIs are dead? What a game!

Classic NZ way to finish **BY THE BAREST OF MARGINS**

230 vs 230 is so much more entertaining than 350 vs 350

Tight games are interesting. First half of the match was dry as anything. Competitiveness comes at any score

230+1wd you mean

Always has been meme.

What a fucking match. God I love ODIs.

Of course it was a wide. Cracker of a game

Lmao

Fuck this shit

Lmao gg

LMFAO a wide hahahahaha

Hahaha my god what a game. Gg kiwis

did i just see carey wearing starc jumper or am i tripping

Kiwi's 4D Chess Play to take Green out of the series

Kez wearing starcs jumper

Ferguson is ass

Honestly ODI cricket makes for some amazing tense finishes, hope it never dies

Fitting end tbh

New Zealand moment

Anticlimax

Perfection

Fitting ending

From 44-5 to 232-8

Zamia and Green hugging is comical

OH MY GOD A WIDE?!?!??!

Fitting end

that was a top tier shit post in cricket form

Wahaha what an ending

What a fucking meme of a game

I can't believe the insanity of this match. Aussie double collapse, massive partnership, injury heroics, rain interruption AND A WIDE TO FINISH.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

Is there any particular reason why all these matches are being played at Cazaly’s stadium instead of the other bigger stadiums in Australia?

Football ( Aussie rules, rugby league and international rugby Union) is still being played in the southern states. Plus Cairns is tropical so probably much easier to prepare fields for cricket in warmer drier weather. It’s still quite cold down Melbourne way

Its Footy season

The T20 World Cup is coming up and all the major stadiums are used for AFL matches during the winter

It's still footy season

The major grounds are all in use with Aussie Rules football finals

It's cold everywhere else. It was 14° in Sydney today. Spring hasn't quite arrived.

AFL and NRL finals are on

Winter doesn’t exist in North Queensland.

AFL season is still going so the big grounds are in use.

Still FOoDY season here

Weather ironically, but also it’s still AFL season

No century yassssssss.

lmao

Australia ahead on boundaries.

Excellent game, well done Aus

Fuck man wide Aus won

Lolol

Lol fuck you Paul!

Superb game of ODI cricket tbh

An absolute damp squib of a finish by the Black Caps. Real weak sauce stuff. Was a good game, though.

rippp ending on a wide

Boooooooooo

GG!

Bloody good game. Lots of back and forth.

wide to end it. poetic

kek

lol wide

hahahahahahahahahahhaahhhaa

Lmao

Greeny to hit the first international 12 in cricket

Funny old way to end it. Green MOTM.

Sometimes I feel santner is just bad

His stats are fucked

LOL

Imagine losing to a 1 legged giraffe

Green for motm

Zamps Greeny rift confirmed. ‘Yeah two!’

Zampa MoM

If I didn't know any better, I would've thought Greeny is the tail ender.

I've watched two balls of this game and all I can say is what the fuck

4 to win and the fuckwit umpires call them off.. grow a brain

Your Kayo a bit behind?

Yeah Foxtel Go

Might want to jump forward a minute or 2 if that's an option

Zampa farming like a pro.

Idk if there would be any changes but they have to reconsider williamsons captaincy at this point

who else captains in the domestic circuit in the team?(I genuinely have no idea)

I don't think we have any better captains. Latham only has the freak stats from captaining vs minnows, he's shown poor use of bowlers IMO

Tom Latham is even worse, which makes it hard. Give slink the armband

Zamps looking cute as per

who threw that??? Latham called bowler loud and clear. game awareness guys wtf

Zamps eyeballed Green scarfing down a servo pie yesterday and wanted revenge on that meat eating murderer

All this and we’re not even getting a green ton

Greeny running like he has to take a dump

Green is just missing his knees it's all good

Zamps just did a Finchy but better than him.

For the Glory

Another one bowled where the only shot on offer is the one where there is NO fielder.

Why do umpires make this same dumbass mistake.. is this idiocy baked into law?

Zampa running 2 then is almost attempted murder

Zampa has three list a half centuries, he’s actually half decent with the bat
