MacRobertson Shield
NZ vs USA Day 5: Chapman vs Rothman by Jarrod Coutts
Rothman supershot opening - he missed 3rd turn, Chapman missed 4th turn and as I wandered away from the lawn, Rothman had made h1 and looked in control

As I've sat down, Chapman is now on lawn so Rothman must have made an error. This match is being live streamed on the MacRob website, so I would suggest you have a look at this one as it's the lawn I'm furthest away from

Rothman plays a good shot from c3 to the applause of the American fan base
22 Apr 2017 8:07AM (Tournament); 31 Readers
The crowd is currently in there one's and I'm expecting big numbers may get us up to low ten's
22 Apr 2017 8:07AM (Tournament); 31 Readers
Chapman misses the lift and Rothman has a delayed TP to take G1 - starting with a ball in c2 as he's for h3 rather than the standard ball in c4 when he's for h1
22 Apr 2017 8:39AM (Tournament); 34 Readers
I think Rothman is just having a ball to the peg as he didn't get the delayed TP started
22 Apr 2017 8:46AM (Tournament); 34 Readers
Reverse spread again
22 Apr 2017 8:55AM (Tournament); 33 Readers
Chapman hit's the lift and has a good chance to punish not completing a peeling turn on these lawns. I thought Rothman may have chased it more than he did

Rothamn has another 5 yarder mid break, but he's very good at hitting the ball straight, so it's no problem. Currently has 4b in jaws and is loading 2b from c3

Rothman jawses the rover peel and has to play a bombard after rover to get the peele through and get a rush to the peg
22 Apr 2017 10:37AM (Tournament); 33 Readers
Something has happened and Chapman is on the lawn
22 Apr 2017 10:45AM (Tournament); 36 Readers
I've just heard that Rothman possibly got the bombard, then rushed into rover and had to seperate. If any of the people watching the live stream have seen this, let me know and I'll update the commentary

Good shot under pressure

Rothman not happy
22 Apr 2017 11:53AM (Tournament); 43 Readers
I can only assume he's taken off to the balls on EB and got hampered from something and been unable to hit anything because of a peg/hoop
22 Apr 2017 11:54AM (Tournament); 42 Readers
Aborted to c3

Big turn for Chapman
22 Apr 2017 11:57AM (Tournament); 42 Readers
I think he may not have had a rush to h1
22 Apr 2017 12:02PM (Tournament); 38 Readers
He's rolled to c3 loading h2 from c4
