Shahpur Zadran would need to start his run up from the parking lot on this ground.

Aaron Finch hitting a 3 on this ground might be the most remarkable batting feat we see today. #NZvAUS #CWC15

Looks like Australia are following England's eco friendly approach of trying to get this finished before the lights are needed

Cummins could turn out to be a genuine all-rounder, like Watson. Except one that can bat. And bowl. And run #AusvNZ #CWC15

Only one debate worth having in this match, the ridiculous break we'll have when New Zealand are 4 away from a win.#NZvAus
