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

[Mike5181]

This has been a seriously good innings from Guptill so far.

 

[_Ed_]

Neesham doing a decent job so far tbh.

Very good contribution. He did owe us a few runs after being so costly with the ball, and he's played bloody well.

i feel zampa should explore the possibility of a bandanna, jon bon jovi style

 

[_Ed_]

This has been a seriously good innings from Guptill so far.

Think it's the best I've seen him play against Australia. I know he hit one on to the roof at Eden Park, but still.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Is Head the 6th bowler? What's he like? Or is Smith better?

 

[Moss]

Smithy jinxing it as usual

 

[Starfighter]

That's enough of that.

 

[jonbrooks]

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

Interesting how players who have not been in the Black Caps team environment have done well of recent times. Debutantes in Raval and de Grandhomme and then Guptill and Neesham who've been out of the mix as well. Makes you wonder.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Well that was dumb.

 

[_Ed_]

That's not ideal.

 

[jonbrooks]

And I've just jinxed Neesham

 

[jcas0167]

Nice jinx Smithy.

 

[Immenso]

Neesh squandeting his chance for more than a bit part role?

A man for a pretty cameo.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Gutted. I look forward to Munro reverse sweeping Starc (or at least trying)

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Watling - good to see

 

[artvandalay]

Didn't he score many runs when Nzl chased those 340 scores in 2007?

 

[_Ed_]

I like Watling's promotion. Hopefully he can stick around with Gup for a bit.

 

[_Ed_]

Didn't he score many runs when Nzl chased those 340 scores in 2007?

Don't think any of this team played in that series.

Guptill has been NZ's leading ODI batsman for the last couple of years? Neesham was in India and in the squad for the first test against Pakistan. Is good to see though that guys like Raval & de Grandhomme who have done well in domestic cricket can come in and do well.

 

[Moss]

Watling wasn't convincing in India but it didn't help being out of the ODI setup for 3 years. Should have at least been rotated with Ronchi in that time.
