This series is going to be 2-1 one way or the other, and the only game Australia has actually won so far was really close. Even if we assume that Australia chase this down comfortably, it'll be one comfortable Australian win, one comfortable NZ win and one close game with twists and turns. That sort of series will actually do a lot to convince CA to play a team more tbh. Behave.

Lol. Well done Australia getting by with a second-string attack.
Complacency from the top 4, 5-7 just nowhere near their best and the law of averages catching up with the lower order.
Not fair to blame just McCullum. Guptill, Nicholls equally culpable. Feared something like this might happen in the absence of Santner.

Well played Aust. Good captaincy from Smith, good field settings to Zampa (cutting off singles in the inner ring), used a slip in middle of the innings which got Nicholl's wicket. Seamers delivered in the second half, good use of reverse swing and fuller balls towards the end of the innings.

So glad I said "on paper". I actually hadn't typed it in at first but was wary of exactly this happening so took the soft option and put it in before I submitted the postPews' post about NZ's batting tail

We won the first game because the Aussies were arrogant and went at everything thinking they could half ass it and clear the fence easy.
300 was never enough at Eden Park against that Aus side.

Derek Walker is capable of being completely **** on his own, without intimidation. Woeful officiating in this series.
However, how do you not review an in-ducker hitting you on the toe when you're batting on leg, you're #9 and there's about 6 overs to go? Might as well right?
Which of Warner, Khawaja, Smith, Bailey, Maxwell, Wade, MMarsh and Hazlewood wouldn't be in the top Aust ODI squad? Must have some pretty handy players not touring ...

Yeah I was sure he would review it. Don't know what the hell he thought there was to lose.

I hope we can eventually put together an XI of players you predicted to score runs who then went on and didn't.

Nah I'm not copping that I predicted them to make runs.
