***Official*** Australia vs New Zealand ODIs 2016/17

cummins never really swing the ball at all



Not that I saw

Generated consistent outswing against SA on debut

Can't see the game as I am having dinner at Fort Dennison. How did Cummins bowl?

What did you eat? Menu looks pretty bland ...

 

[Starfighter]

Can we pick Faulkner instead of this guy? Or Hastings?

 

[Spark]

He's not gonna swing anything from halfway down

Congrats Martin Guptill. You've had your highs and lows but this is a definite high and quite the achievement. 5000 runs at 42 takes some getting. Well done SIR!

Sweet shot to bring it up with, too. Well done that man.

Easily our best LOI batsmen.

Again the discussion about why Guptill succeeds in ODIs but not tests. The answer is simple. He is a ODI opener but not a Test opener. If Guptill had been playing down the order he would have had success at Test level as well. I have no doubt about this.

 

[jonbrooks]

Cummins seems to be getting faster and faster ...

 

[SteveNZ]

That hairband though.

Serious question and one I want answered (not by you, being a Kiwi).

Did Zampa play in the Matador Cup and wear that stupid head band he doesn't require at all, or is it like Matt Hayden and his 'only cross myself on TV' sort of set up?

 

[Starfighter]

This is terrible rubbish from Cummins.

This is something they should try in tests. He's good value for his fielding too so he could always do an Astle against the old ball.

He would've had Nathan Astles career, which is nothing to sneeze at. Been saying it for 4-5 years

 

[Starfighter]

Oh ****

 

[Athlai]

Guptill > Nicholls

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Neesham doing a decent job so far tbh.

 

[Moss]

Good stuff from the test discards. Neesham not bothering with things like strike rotation and foot movement, but playing a good hand thus far.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Guptill and neesham are like mirror images of each other batting wise

 

[Starfighter]

This 'long hop' plan from the Australian bowlers isn't working too well.
