***Official*** Australia in New Zealand 2016

Who gets MOTS? Please say Guptill. Guptill MOTS and Sodhi MOTM means somewhere blocky is having an aneurysm

Lol my school coach used to feel that loud appeals were just poor manners. He says you can just ask. Probably why our school team was a well mannered bunch who never won anything.

Hope that's the last time I ever hear that song.

McCullum has better taste in music than Ross Taylor and his box

 

[NZTailender]

Anyway, so pleased we came back and won that. Honestly thought we were gone for all money until Sodhi took those two crucial wickets - and even then we were still in danger with Marsh and Hastings still able to steer things. All and all it's been an excellent series and I hope we get to play a series in Australia next year, both sides full strength. Hopefully minus the wicketkeepers from both teams. fmd they're atrocious.

Also favourite part of the match was Grunter's response to Wade's outburst - "love your work Wade"

Henry almost has as many wickets in 2016 as he got in 2015. Great comeback, kid

Russell Crowe is awarded to the losing team

Loving this cricket legends series on fox. Had MJ ok in the innings break and now it's wasim akram, aka the Old Trent Boult.

Henry should be MOTS IMHO. 8 wickets, at key times. The difference between the sides maybe. But I don't think they gave it to anyone, maybe Simon Doull was too busy stirring Smith and stroking Brendon to remember.

Used the reverse on offer well today too (though that was an unusually abrasive surface by NZ standards.

 

[Athlai]

Santa Sodhi should be MOTS.

 

[NZTailender]

Wasn't Sodhi playing FC cricket earlier today? Or did he get the call up last night?

 

[SteveNZ]

Nice touch playing Pearl Jam's 'Better Man', which McCullum plays when he comes out to bat. Appropriate song to send him off too.

Except that it's a song about a bored housewife who convinces herself she can't do any better than her dead beat husband...

Took a wicket for ND just before stumps at Napier yesterday. Called up last night.

 

[CM Punk]

idk what to think of this?...

Did we bowl really well or are the Aussies just **** when they don't on roads?

240 surely wasn't enough?

 

[CM Punk]

Sodhi was really impressive, he won us the game with those 2 quick wickets. We didn't look like winning till he dismissed Smith and Maxwell.

Andrew Ramsey @ARamseyCricket
Match ref told Smith ball not dead til bowler begins run-up. But Smith believes incident shouldn't be up on screen while appeal still live

Okay that is straight-up bull****

 

[Burgey]

Yeah they need set guidelines for these sorts of things.

Great win for the boys. The best feeling in world cricket is beating Aussie.

Great series too. Both of the last two games would have been worthy World Cup finals. Basically the side that took their opportunities won them.

How good would an Aussie-NZ-SA tri-series be right now?

Matt Henry: 25 matches, 51 wickets at 22. It's early in his career but that's a Shane Bond level return so far.

Felt that bowling decided that series more than anything.

The best thing was that I got on the BCs at 7.2 at the innings break. We had bowled Aussie out for 150 and had them 200/6 previously, so I figured we were an even chance to defend 250.

Wellington win, Black Caps win, Being Kevin Pietersen documentary on afterwards, pretty good day

Here's a weird thought to start off with, maybe NZ has pretty good ODI bowlers.
