***Official*** New Zealand in Zimbabwe and South Africa 2015

Reckon that if we lose this match and the series it was the bowling that was the culprit. The bowling in the first ODI was about the worst I've ever seen from a Black Caps unit, and today isn't much better.

Cannot keep blaming the bowling. This is a better example of a bowling to blame type loss:

3rd ODI: Zimbabwe v New Zealand at Bulawayo, Oct 25, 2011 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

Boult, Southee and Wheeler/Henry has the makings of a good bowling attack.

zimbabwe went 1-1 with australia last year ftr

Anyone else notice that it becomes much easier to bat second?

In that win, did they happen to chase?

 

[CaptainGrumpy]

yes because you seem o have forgotten wickets exist. that or you're being blockheaded.

I would opine that scoreboard pressure takes more wickets, or at least as many wickets, than anything else in ODIs. The bowlers are lifting the RRR.

What do you want, three slips and two gullies?

Oh for god's sake, why is Williamson still bowling himself? You've just got a wicket, got your strike bowlers on son.

 

[CM Punk]

It's days like these I wish we still had Bondy

Add Santner and Anderson and we're looking pretty good. Would go for Wheeler over Henry based on what I've seen post CWC.
