00:00Next up, and then if it doesn't go, like that, got the wrong direction, and he'll run away for four,
00:08and it's a good start for New Zealand.
00:10Yeah, very good start, real good start.
00:13Back to way to leg, never played a cut shot in my life, look at him, there's a wicket, it's
00:17straight up, keepers got it.
00:19Alex Carey has his man, first ball, the big man, Billy Stanlake, he's away for Australia.
00:26First ball, 144 k's.
00:28Alex Munro's out, New Zealand 1 for 11.
00:36Oh, I like that, he's on a hat-trick, Billy Stanlake.
00:41That's quick, straight, and too good for Guttner.
00:45Might have got to go so far, but here he's a 2 for 11.
00:49Where's the back pad? Here he comes.
00:52Oh, he got it on line 2.
00:55It was 151 k's, good pace.
00:58Bruce did well, not just to get bad on ball, he's going to get three.
01:02That was rocking middle.
01:04And that was the Yorker that was bowled beautifully.
01:07That's what it's good to see, he's looking for wickets, he's not just bowling length.
01:11Oh, this could be out.
01:13He should be out, he's out.
01:15Good catch on the boundary from Richardson, sort of came in and went out.
01:19But now Stanlake's got three.
01:21Remaining in this over, it's brilliant.
01:22New Zealand, three for 16.
01:24Off.
01:25Very good captaincy.
01:28Oh, there's an edge and it goes between Lynn and Kerry, the keeper.
01:32It's catchable height.
01:33Race is away for four.
01:34In the end, because I don't think Richardson picked it up.
01:37But is that another?
01:39Oh, good catch.
01:43David Warner paced himself perfectly, never took his eye off the ball.
01:50Ball for 34.
01:52Over the road, but deep back with square legs.
01:57Yeah.
01:58Now, Manback ought to catch it, does easily.
02:04Picked him out, did Blundell.
02:07Couldn't have done it with more accuracy.
02:10Five down.
02:11Six in New Zealand.
02:13It's out here at the SCG.
02:14New Zealand in real trouble.
02:16Five for 60.
02:17And here he is live.
02:20And it's being dispatched.
02:22That is a great shot.
02:23And one bounce for exactly what is required.
02:28Good stroke.
02:29At the back like this, Tubbs.
02:31Anything's possible.
02:32So he can save the two and be there for a catch.
02:37Goes big, Ross Taylor.
02:39There's a man there.
02:39But it's over the hit.
02:43He targeted a fantastic, fantastic gap in the end.
02:48But it was big.
02:49It was long.
02:50Granholm.
02:51And it asked some questions.
02:55Now he goes to the onside.
02:57This is bigger.
02:59That is huge.
03:00Into the ladies' stand.
03:02Catch it.
03:03She's got all of that.
03:05He's got all of that.
03:06That's in the first tier of the lady member stand.
03:09Get 40, 50 runs.
03:10That gets something reasonable.
03:11Definitely gets something reasonable.
03:12There's a wicket.
03:13There's a wicket.
03:14It's not going to happen, Mark Taylor.
03:16Ross Taylor goes.
03:18The Taylor strikes.
03:25Not bad off the tee, but I do hit it off the green with the flat stick.
03:31It's high in the air.
03:32And a man is coming in.
03:33He didn't get hold of it.
03:35It's taken more wickets.
03:36Chris Lynn's saying they've kept pushing for wickets.
03:39They keep coming.
03:40I dare say it's this knuckleball again.
03:43Tide doing nicely.
03:43Things going nicely for Australia.
03:457 for 92 in New Zealand.
03:53Oh, that's a good strike.
03:54Down the ground it goes.
03:56Oh, nearly taken.
04:00That's Agar.
04:01Good all-round cricketer.
04:03And that was spectacular.
04:06Drop catch because he leaves from the field of play.
04:08But does he get rid of it before he touches the ground?
04:10He does.
04:10That's brilliant.
04:11Get into the team.
04:12So I see that being an issue.
04:14As DeGrundam goes.
04:15And he goes big.
04:16My word.
04:17That's into the second.
04:18See, it's halfway.
04:18It's almost at the ground.
04:19Oh, it's at least 98, Mark Taylor.
04:23No, that is a flick.
04:24That is timed.
04:26And such bottom-hand power coming through.
04:29Brilliant.
04:297 for 103.
04:31Problem is, when you're batting first, you always think you've got to keep going because
04:33you don't know what it is that you've got to set.
04:35Oh, Southie goes.
04:37And does he go?
04:38Yes, he does.
04:39It's a maximum.
04:42So 7 for 113.
04:44One over remaining.
04:46Very well disguised.
04:49Worked very nicely.
04:51But straight to the fielder.
04:52He just stays up for Stoinis to get the fingers under it.
04:56And he sized it up beautifully.
04:58He didn't move.
04:58He just let it come.
04:59Let it come.
05:00135 kilometers per hour.
05:02Southie departs.
05:04Sorry about that, Michael Slater.
05:07Oh, there's another wicket for Ty.
05:10The call continues.
05:13Didn't move the knuckles there.
05:14That was just quick.
05:15Quick and straight and see you later.
05:18Beautifully bowled, Andrew Ty.
05:19Another four wickets for him.
05:21Stan Lake was excellent with the new ball.
05:24And Andrew Ty with the old ball has been superb.
05:26Five wickets in the last one day for Australia.
05:28And four wickets tonight.
05:30Well bowled.
05:30Maxwell, I just really hope they do get to demonstrate and show everyone what this Australian...
05:36And we have to lose more than 20 minutes before we lose any overs.
05:40So we should be okay.
05:41The rain has happened.
05:42Two slips.
05:43David Warner on strike.
05:45It swings a touch.
05:47Yeah, well, they're saying earlier that their genuine swing bowler, Southie, is...
05:50The offside.
05:51They've got a funny little short third man.
05:53And he gets it over the top of that.
05:56And it's four.
05:57Yeah, good strike.
05:59Really good strike.
05:59Extend and deliver stuff.
06:01He only needs to feel a couple of those.
06:04Short third man and a gully for short.
06:07On Nord.
06:08He nails it into the gap.
06:12You can hear the sound up here.
06:14That bat reverberating.
06:15He has smoked that.
06:17That's what he can do.
06:24He still goes leg side.
06:26And the slip that they've put has taken a catch.
06:29Oh, get out of here.
06:31He has hit that as hard as the first boundary.
06:34Straight to the man.
06:36Australia one for ten.
06:39Warner who's on six.
06:41And he gets a flinchy pull shot straight to the fielder.
06:45Can he control it?
06:46Yes, he can.
06:48Tom Bruce, I think it is.
06:49Takes a ripper.
06:50Jeez, that's a good catch.
06:52Davey Warner, he picks the length early.
06:54These Australian batsmen.
06:55Look at this.
06:56Look how easily he does this.
06:58Sees the rope.
06:59Tosses it up.
07:00How good are they, Slap?
07:01And Australia now, two for ten.
07:07Whoa, standard deliver.
07:09Is that six?
07:10It is.
07:11Oh, missed.
07:13One bounce, he was out.
07:15Jeez, he's hit that clean, though.
07:16Again, I want someone to consolidate.
07:18It's not going to be these two.
07:19They are going tower.
07:20They actually get a full swing of the bat.
07:23Full this time.
07:24Same result.
07:26A couple more bounces, but four.
07:29Yeah, and the crowd go up with him.
07:31That's what he can do.
07:33There's pressure on these hitters to.
07:38Short.
07:40Just walks inside it and nails it to the leg side.
07:43Oh, he's lethal, isn't he?
07:44He cannot get it wrong.
07:46First ball, second ball, 14K difference.
07:49Deep mid-wicket.
07:50Long off for the two fielders that are out.
07:52Oh, yeah.
07:52Lynn goes through the covers.
07:54Very well.
07:55Gee, it was a good ball.
07:56Didn't deserve to get it before, but that's Lynn.
07:59Two for 27, up to four.
08:03Last ball of the power play.
08:04What's Maxwell got?
08:07Oh, a little glide over the wicketkeeper.
08:11So, after five, it's two for 36.
08:21Down low.
08:22Oh, he's placed that nicely.
08:23He's got good hands.
08:25Already mentioned that, but he placed that really well and gets a boundary.
08:29Didn't try to overhit it.
08:31Just got it in the gap.
08:34Yeah, it certainly did.
08:35It's a good cut shot.
08:35Something here for New Zealand.
08:40Oh, I've been off.
08:41Oh, will it go all the way?
08:43Yes, it will.
08:44And down the race.
08:47It's nice to see Maxwell and his plays like this.
08:49It certainly is.
08:50It's an unbelievable shot from an unbelievable cricketer.
08:53He has all the strokes.
08:57Who are they?
08:59Oh, my goodness.
09:00Here we go.
09:01Placement.
09:01Perfect placement from Chris Lynn.
09:04He doesn't let the bowler settle.
09:07Goes on to 34.
09:10Oh.
09:12Oh, super shot.
09:14Gee, that's a good shot.
09:15And it's four.
09:17Gee, that's perfect bat.
09:19That really is.
09:20That was a good delivery.
09:21Used the crease.
09:23Backed away.
09:23And then got the timing and the placement just right.
09:31It's in the gap.
09:32That's four.
09:32That's hard.
09:33It's flat.
09:33It's four.
09:36Nothing better than seeing a guy who performs in domestic cricket, we can call it.
09:41In other words, the big bat.
09:42Michael slated a little bit early.
09:45A bit over-exuberance in the commentary.
09:47As Glenn Maxwell now knocks on straight down the ground.
09:50And off he goes.
09:52He wants to finish it.
09:54Australia only need 12.
09:55Two for 83.
10:01And it should be caught in the outfield.
10:03It is.
10:04The brilliant innings comes to an end.
10:06And only eight runs required.
10:08He was trying to get there in two hits.
10:10Right on the money.
10:10Chris Lynn gone for 44 off only 33.
10:14He wasn't going the singles.
10:16And Norris Maxi.
10:19Here it goes.
10:21And the way it goes.
10:21So three required.
10:22Australia have been very good at the Sydney cricket ground.
10:26Talk about balance.
10:28There's variation.
10:30And there's hitting ability.
10:33That'll be it.
10:35And Australia triumphed tonight over New Zealand.
10:40Kiwis came with big hopes.
10:42They've lost a couple against Pakistan.
10:44Their last two.
10:46They'll lose this one in Australia tonight.
10:48But Australia...
10:49You get four wickets in that first power play.
10:51T20 cricket.
10:52Very, very difficult to recover.
10:54Bye-bye.
