[Flem274*]

music choice for montages is easily the best thing about NZ cricket broadcasting

not to excuse that shot, but why the **** did we send munro in ahead of neesham with 25 overs to go?

Neesham played well at 4 against this bowling attack recently, so it is a fair question.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

shut up about natural game

colin munro himself has said he's working on his defensive game

yeah but he's still munro

 

[Zinzan]

Stoinis and Head. For shame, NZ.

Lol, you're loving this no lose situation aren't you?

If NZ get up- Ah they should have hammered these useful spuds, If Aust win - Haha you lost to these useless spuds.

Good position to be in.

Good point when you consider the runs Jimmy made in Australia.

These guys need to bat to 45+. Santner isn't up to much at international level with the bat (sorry Howsie but he's not), Tim might smite 2 sixes and get out then it's two genuine bunnies.

 

[Jono]

This is so bad.

 

[Flem274*]

haha aussie commentator says target the straight boundary

I'm assuming it's beacuse munro is playing as a specialist bat while neesham is expected to bowl, but it shows a real lack a thought in planning given neesham has shown far more aptitude in building longer innings.

I could understand that rationale if he was a Ferguson type bowler that dies after 2 overs, but he's not that bad, so bowling workload shouldn't really be factor in determining whether a guy should bat 6 or 7 in ODIs.

its weird cos werent hesson and co all about flexibility in the middle order six months ago?

 

[straw man]

Turns out all NZ grounds are in fact 'bad grounds for catching', it wasn't just NZ and Bangladesh recently

 

[BeeGee]

That's a shitter of a haircut, Stoinis.

 

[Mike5181]

Lady Luck is smiling on Neesham today.

I feel a bit sorry for Handscomb - probably didn't even know he would be keeping in this game until this morning. But he has had a bit of a mare.
