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

I think the equation may well be 200 from 20 overs with two set batsmen. Be something if we get close.

 

[straw man]

Neesham might as well hit out, surely that arm will stiffen up and make batting very difficult before long.

 

[Red Wingz]

Surprising that aus got blanked 0-5 in SA just a month back

Their ODI lineup is solid with powerful hitters all the way n they do have quality bowlers in any situations

 

[Fuller Pilch]

After 30 overs Oz were 160ish for 1.

The trouble is I can't see us having innings like Head and Marsh

 

[Blocky]

I still hate this tactic, and still feel we've put ourselves out of the match

But credit to Neesham - he's shown enough here to be persisted with as a batting only option in this side.

How come in cricket metronome means consistent but in pokemon it means something random each time

 

[Compton]

I can get why people might not necessarily think that this is the best tactic from this pair, but at least they're still in the match.

Accelerating right away and being 4 or 5 down for 100 doesn't do them much good. Batsman have just played their game.

 

[ajdude]

nooooo

 

[Meridio]

Any slim chance we have basically sits with team Colin now. Nice-ish innings from Neesham - the first 40 odd balls were really poor though, wasted so many deliveries.

 

[Blocky]

So, Watling can't bat in this condition, it needs to either be Munro, De Grandhomme or a pinch hitting Henry.

The problem is you've left 10.6 an over for anyone following after you, as was bound to happen when a wicket gets dismissed.

So you've either got to hope they play a Travis Head blinder, or they're gifted several free hits like Marsh to get their innings started, something you can't count on.

Problem is we don't have any proven ODI finishers at all right now, where it's typically been a strength. Need a couple of players to come through,

 

[ajdude]

ugh what's channel 9 doing with the bowling columns? head's figures were like 0-31-7-17 or something which worked out to be wickets-runs-overs-dot balls. disgusting

 

[Blocky]

Those death overs from Henry are going to haunt us here.

You've got a bunch of hitting in the bottom order, the problem is that you're asking them to do it from ball one.

 

[Compton]

Yeah I think Henry misunderstood the 'death' thing and decided to kill off the match...

 

[Blocky]

Poor shot option there, really need to be swivelling that to the leg side with the length the Aussies are bowling, just like they were tanking our bowlers.

Henry and Southee? Yeah they can find the boundary though would prefer someone with a bit more batting chops.

You've got De Grandhomme, Henry, Neesham, Munro, Southee who can all hit big sixes.

Did NZ just promote their no. 11? This guy looks horrible
