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

Followed by possibly the worst hat trick ball ever

Santner's ODI batting is like Jadeja's.

 

[NZTailender]

Geeze that was a good finish from Santner. Suddenly looked like a batsman.

 

[Zinzan]

Honestly feels 40 shy on this track. Woeful middle order hitting from NZ.

I think playing Southee ahead of Sodhi could cost NZ 20+ runs. I'd give them a decent chance with Sodhi

As it stands, Australia 70/30 favourites.

thankfully for once, Ben Hilfenhaus exists and has done worse

I do feel like I've read this exact post from you about half a dozen times this summer, invariably in NZ wins. Quality gambhiring.

 

[Burgey]

Cracking straight drive.

Lol not sure about Gambiring. You have to take each of those posts in isolation. Assuming you're not disagreeing about this looking like a 300+ par wicket?

I feel it was so painfully obvious that Sodhi should have played ahead of Southee today. He was MOTM in last years Hamilton fixture when NZ were defending 246 & is on top of his game atm.

This start exactly backing my earlier comment that Southee for Sodhi is likely to cost 20 runs. This KW/Hesson combo continue to make obvious mistakes, it's frustrating, whether it's obviously wrong defensive decisions at the toss to utterly brainless selections.

that's such a stupid mistake. they had runs pouring from southee's end.

if this is the fast clay then southee over sodhi is the right call. you stack spin on the slow pitches.

Handscombe bats like john crawley he looks a good talent

i forget how many odi caps australia dish out sometimes. they love rotation and using JAMODIs to trial young players more than most countries.

it seems to work when it matters tbf

 

[BeeGee]

Only if John Crawley has no footwork and hangs his bat out a mile from his body.

 

[Flem274*]

rigor needs a fresh pair of undies

Only Southee's bowled his 4 overs for 30 runs going at 7.50 and is the sole reason Australia are ahead at this stage. Let's ignore that then shall we. Australia do not play Sodhi well.

i think sodhi is benefitting in the mind by not playing today tbh and instead doing some pleb bashing in nz and aus domestic T20 leagues

southee bowling badly after selection isn't proof sodhi was always the better selection. if the pitch favours seamers then you pick seamers. if it favourrs spin then you pick spin.

ewwwww finch is scoring runs

Bad bowling doesn't always prove it was the wrong selection, but it clearly was today. Sodhi is not your typical floaty off spinner, he does well when there's bounce even if there's not much turn. Plus Australia struggle with him. Can you remind me the last time Australia ever struggled with Southee?
