***Official*** Trans-Tasman Twenty20 Tri-Series

[Top_Cat]

Think TPC needs to give T20s a miss. This side looks really good moving ahead.

Pretty much what he’s doing, hasn’t played a T20I in two years. Add Smith to this line-up and not only does it instantly look weaker, it sucks away the effectiveness of whoever is left.

RRR under 10 now. This is the Eden Park game that finally lives up to the myth.

and will be referred to as the one true data point for eternity

And any negativity about the ground size....T20 is about entertainment and the crowd are no doubt entertained. If you're a good enough bowler you can go at 9 or 10s. Even as a former bowler and hater of the chasm between bat and ball I see no bad thing in this sort of spectacle once in a while.

‘Once in a while’ is such a cricket meme innit.

Is the WC already two years ago? **** me

He can still be of use tbh, especially with Short and Lynn's limitations

 

[straw man]

It's annoying Maxwell has started scoring run against us - I like him more in ODIs where he averages 9.

 

[Flem274*]

so lets talk about how hard nz are choking here

even guptill dropped a catch

Lynn especially, tbh. Rarely seen a top-order bat look so clueless against even mediocre spin.

NZ bowling wasn't particularly smart during the Eden Park T20 against Pakistan either. Smaller straight boundaries = just keep banging it in most of the time, it would seem.

 

[Burgey]

Will take Short’s limitations if he’s going to make 70 off 40

 

[Gnske]

Aye, I like Smith for t20s just because he has that factor like Maxwell of being able to score runs all around the ground against spin and pace.

 

[Moss]

Sodhi's done pretty well to go at under 9 an over in this game, though more a reflection of the standard of the rest of the bowling.

 

[Daemon]

Good knock by Maxwell nonetheless.

Still got Finch and Stoinis to go lel

 

[straw man]

Hey Southee bowled a good over.

NZ have to find two overs from not Southee and Boult though

 

[straw man]

There's backing your player and then there's giving the ball to Wheeler there

 

[Flem274*]

wheeler just can't land the ball

 

[Athlai]

What’s the worst bowling performance in a t20?

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Geez this is scarred for life type stuff for Wheeler ...

Woudn't have brought him back on after the first two myself.

 

[robbypark]

Surely it's over now. Wheeler's **** bowling cost them this one.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Please take him out of the attack haha
