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

NZ has to bat first and get a decent total. Scoreboard pressure has been known to do some interesting things.

A lot will be resting on Guptil but I can't help but feel he'll fail this time round. It looked like the Ozzies sussed him out in the second ODI.

Cricinfo have effed up their scorecard with some background ad that makes it unreadable 8-)

Can we just bowl properly for a change?! Of all the bowlers I felt Southee bowled the best in the last ODI. At least he tried to mix it up unlike Boult and Henry who just kept feeding the batsmen slot balls. Also Williamson's captaincy was very poor. He did nothing to prevent the leakage of runs. If anything he should have brought himself or Guptil on given Santner was economical. Instead he persisted with the quicks and they got carted to all corners. To bring Henry on in the last over was the mind boggling.

Picking Maxwell in squad, preventing him from playing in the shield, then not playing him in any match. Well done. In other news Darren Lehmann is a ****.

Cant help but feel that first Vics and now Oz have tried to send some sort of message to him this season

Kinda glad we are bowling first again, probably would have got rolled for 200 again a la WC final. Haha.

I really hope KW gives himself and Guptill a few overs today (especially as Santner has been our decent bowler in the first 2 games).

What is Nicholls' keeping like? I remember he went to the World T20 as back up keeper. Having Latham, Nicholls and Watling in the same side chasing 320+ is pretty awful. (Although Nicholls is one of the few current NZers to get a Big Bash contract)

No Neesham and no Henry reduces our runscoring ease a little. Ferguson on the other hand should provide some free hits.
