Australia were put into bat first and were bowled all out for 388. Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa and Josh Hazlewood combined for just on run but they damage had already been layed out early on by David Warner and Travis Head who lead from the front combining for 175 before the Glenn Phillip's picked up the Black Caps first wicket against David Warner. Head powered on to get his century but was dismissed on 109 by Phillips on the 24th over. There were also decent contributions from Mitchell Marsh [36], Glenn Maxwell [41], Josh Inglis [38], Pat Cummins [37] as the Aussies set a lofty target for the Black Caps to chase.

Openers Devon Conway and Will Young were both caught by Starc and bowled by Hazlewood as New Zealand fell to 72-2, before Zampa removed Daryl Mitchell and Tom Latham. Ravindra ensured New Zealand had a chance of pulling off an unlikely victory, scoring 116 runs from 89 balls before he was caught by Marnus Labuschange just shy of they boundary. Forced to open shoulders, Mitchell Santner and Matt Henry were the next to go, before Neesham breathed fresh life into the match. His 58 from 39 balls featured three fours, three sixes and shed-loads of drama. It eventually two game's penultimate ball as the Aussies hung on. 

With 771 runs scored, it was the highest-scoring game in Cricket World Cup history 




This is what Pat Cummins had to say:

"That was awesome," "Sometimes I have to remember I'm out in the field, not a spectator. A Fantastic game, they kept coming at us." "That was a good wicket. In patches we bowled really well. Some really good partnerships, it was tough to get into them." "We'll enjoy this one and get stuck on the back end." 


The Aussies play there  next match against reining champions England at 08:30 on Sat,4,Nov

REWIND: 2014 FIFA WORLD CUP FINAL

  Would you believe me if I said this world cup was ten years ago on the 13th of July, well you probably wouldn't. In this blog were going to take a look at the matches that built up to Germanys 1-0 win over Argentina, Thanks to Mario Götze of course. GERMANY If  you ask me, Germany's 2014 world cup squad was one of the most dynamic and raw-talented teams we have seen in a good while, for one reason they had a team. That might not make sense but if you look at other teams, who have one or two good players you will see that they struggle, but when you look at Germany it had an entire roster of top tier players most of whom played together at club level.  Germanys squad for the world cup included: Manuel Neuer  Kevin Großkretz  Matthias Ginter  Benedikt Höwedes  Mats Hummels  Sami Kedira  Bastain Schweinsteiger  Mesut Özil  Andre Schürrle  Lucas Podolski  Miroslav Klose  Ron-Robert Zieler  Thomas Muller  Julia...

  Today is the first instalment of cricket history and iam going to cover quite a infamous event, Sandpapergate.  For those of you that don't know Sandpapergate was a ball tampering incident that involved Cameron Bancroft, Captain Steve Smith and David Warner. During a test match against South Africa in March of 2018, Cameron Bancroft was caught rubbing the match ball with a small yellow object. He was then seen stuffing said object into his trousers, when approached by the umpire he pulled out a dark microfiber sunglass pouch from his pocket. The umpires inspected the ball and concluded that it had not been noticeably tampered with. At the press conference at the end of the days play Bancroft, accompanied by Captain Steve Smith admitted that he was caught attempting to alter the condition of the ball using a short length of adhesive tape to which dirt and grit has adhered, forming and abrasive surface.  Five days later, after an investigation by Cricket Australia, Bancro...

The Aussies have started the world cup campaign by losing to India by 6 wickets and South Africa 134 runs. They redeemed themselves by beating Sri Lanka by 5 wickets and Pakistan by 62 runs. This is what Australia's captain, Pat Cummins had to say:  "That was great. Pretty tough playing here but good to get a win. Proper from the openers, it set the tone and we want to take the game on like that. The key in ODIs [one day internationals] is to carry on. You get on breakthrough and it looks tough for the next guy. Batting for long like our openers did, was great. Zampa has been awesome. Showed his class, he's a wicket taker . Babar and Iftikhar were big wickets. Were coming of two wins and have a three or four- day break before the next game. Can take a couple of days off, then get to work. ...
