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

[Athlai]

Half this squad shouldn't come back to NZ. ****ing shambles.

 

[CM Punk]

50/50 and certainly favourites 10 overs in. NZ sure know how to lose matches. If it's not the bowling it'll be the batting.

Nah, I thought the total was small enough for even our useless batsmen to chase. I guess I was wrong.

Southee showing Munro and Nicholls how to defend

God, NZ have been dire in this series.

CM Punk, how'd you get Ather's password?

Something seriously wrong in the culture, the only two guys who aren't in this squad who performed for us in the WC was Baz and Elliott.

 

[CM Punk]

What's funny is how these same blokes ask for more matches overseas.

Why on earth should boards want to invite NZ over when they put up performances like this.

 

[Regan]

God, NZ have been dire in this series.

Our batsmen seem to prefer chasing a high/ basically ungettable total. Suddenly we have a gettable total and they collapse. This is ridiculous.

 

[CM Punk]

I'm glad people are starting to cool on Kane, it's evident he isn't in the same league as Kohli, Root and Smith.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Well **** this escalated quickly

it was 0/50 last I checked

 

[Regan]

I'm glad people are starting to cool on Kane too, it's evident he isn't in the same league as Kohli, Root and Smith.

Nor is his captaincy.

 

[CM Punk]

Nor is his captaincy.

Yep, still remains to be seen how Root goes, but Kane hasn't really set a high bar.

 

[CM Punk]

Starc for 5?

 

[Starfighter]

Pretty much over now.

 

[TheJediBrah]

haha Santner was practically walking then

 

[Spikey]

Half this squad shouldn't come back to NZ. ****ing shambles.

we dont want your garbage

 

[CM Punk]

Santner really has looked like an awful bat for a while now..

Can you even call him an A/R?

 

[TheJediBrah]

Santner really has looked like an awful bat for a while now..

Can you even call him an A/R?

Is he a good enough bowler to be called an A/R?

 

[vcs]

Starc must have a ridiculously high percentage of bowled and LBW in his dismissals, a bit like Waqar Younis. Has anyone done the numbers?

 

[jcas0167]

I actually thought we were favorites before the chase started

Heh, I listened to Warner's post-innings interview - he seemed to think the pitch was a bit two paced. Regardless, this side is so dependent on Guptill or KW that anything over 250 was going to be tough. It reminds me of the team in the early 90's when aside from Crowe & maybe Andrew Jones, no-one in the side could really be counted on to get runs against opponents like Wasim & Waqar.

A good incentive for the remaining domestic T20 competition. The likes of Chapman, Tom Bruce, Seifert & Blundell must like their chances of getting a run later in the season.
