25 runs and a wicket off the 17th. Australia needs 16 from 16. |

Australia wins with an over to spare. Finch 36* from 14, making Maxy look slow. |

Finch finishes it with the 32nd. six of the match.
He was 36* from just 14 balls.

Seems the Poms can still make the final - if they wallop NZ.
I thought this was the last qualifier _________________ Donny.

So, Pies4, the Aussies broke the World record for the highest total in a T20 run chase and not a sign of anyone coming in here to congratulate them or to comment.
A bit sad, really.
Plenty of criticism, though, when they lose. _________________ Donny.

I'm actually pretty confident that not many people were aware of the game being on. It was like some sort of vanishing act. One minute Channel 9 is covering games; the next, they're whisked across the sea and it's no longer Channel 9's. Even in attracting everyone's ire (deliberately??) the AFL have scored a win. |

Donny, I think K is probably right - if people had known this was on, there's a few who would have been flocking in to comment on the "poor bowling" in the NZ innings.
I knew it was on yesterday but it started so early (because it was in NZ) that I was quite confused - I checked in here because I thought you'd have posted about when the game would start and I saw 3/199 and your comment about Maxwell. I thought they'd started a bit earlier than I'd expected and then thought "oh well, they're going to set a decent score for the Kiwis to chase". It wasn't until I went onto the live internet commentary that I realised that we were chasing! So, if a cricket tragic like me was confused, it's not surprising the haters couldn't find their way in here to abuse any bowlers during the Kiwi innings or praise any batsmen during the Australian innings. |

Points taken but I wasn't referring so much, about during the match.
It finished around 8.30 pm., some 17 hours ago, and apart from K replying to my comment, ..... nothing. _________________ Donny.

The Aussies now hold the World record for a successful chase in T20.
Noteworthy:
They did it without Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins, Lyon, Head or Smith. Also, without Mitch Marsh or Khawaja.
Actually, where would Smith fit in ? _________________ Donny.
