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

[Flem274*]

I imagine both sides did tbf. God the scheduling of these series has been dumb.

yeah and that's been reflected in the lack of full strengthyness of the teams, especially before Christmas. Hesson would probably be hung from the street lamps by joe public if he tried to rest or get funky while hosting Australia. I imagine resting Smith and co. would have seen Lehmann cop similar before Christmas.

All said, the undoubted highlight for NZ this summer is the South African Test series.

another silly bit of scheduling, surely they could've worked it so South Africa went to NZ from Australia similar to how Pakistan went from NZ to Australia

have we left the FTP yet? because this is the sort of thing that might be common in the bilateral negotiations era.

 

[Zinzan]

Who would New Zealanders prefer to have been dismissed then, Guppy or KW?

In 2010, I remember that. 80 odd wasn't it? And didn't he come in as a replacement?

stoinis just about takes smith's title as most punchable face in australian cricket

nah meant the series just gone. i do remember that 2008-2010 time though where he treated tests like long odis and scored fast 30s and 50s

Guptill's a gun

Both the dismissals so far have been rather soft dismissals. Plenty of runs to have on this pitch imo - though Australian batting is rather inexperienced, so 270 may be par against them. NZ has the batting to reach 310 from here, especially if Taylor gets set to partner Guptill.

Hell, that's like having the best moustache in Mexico. Fair effort. 'Just about' is right, although Adam Zampa says hi.

Kane. Gup is just so good on this ground.

 

[TNT]

Why are they playing on the U/15's pitch.

 

[SteveNZ]

What the **** was that!

 

[weldone]

Haha Handscomb is possibly the worst wicketkeeper I have seen in International cricket.

 

[straw man]

Agree it's dumb playing the Chappell Hadlee twice in one summer - iirc last time the concept lost its attraction was because they'd overdone it and they're going to make the same mistake again.


But... right now we have cricket on tv and it's good. Guptill our best ODI batsman now?

have you seen the team your lot are fielding?

it's always a highly contended honour, mitch marsh in the shortlist

An Eden Park fifty without a six is unusual for Gup.
