The Kiwi’s have gained the perfect result in the second ODI with the match being rained out.
Consider the alternatives:
The third outcome of the match being rained out is by far the best option for enzed. That they looked hapless with the bat and crumbled to 3/f’uckall is even better.
They now go into the final game with the trophy still alive. To retain the trophy they had to win in Hobart regardless, now Australia will have their guard down, and despite talk of how much this series means to us we’ve gone and rested Gilly for the final.
The game is in Hobart which will probably suit the choice bro’s style, small boundaries and decent pitch for their plethora of medium pacers. Vettori will be a handfull, and if Flemming or McCullum choose this day to fire they’ll be saying “sweet as” for another 12 months as our cabinet is 1 from full.
Sure they’re down on momentum, but really what is that in a 50 over game anyway? For me it’s just a buzzword that Buchanan used to make the opposition feel inferior, and one he often used cause Australia always seem to have it!
