lol Rayudu has basically spent 100 balls digging himself a hole and then trying to slog his way out. Munro really deserved that wicket.

 

[NZTailender]

That's ****ed his figures

 

[vcs]

Good.. couldn't have let Munro get away with 0-35 off 10. Nice hitting from Rayudu there.

 

[Zinzan]

NZ are well in control.. anything less than 250 should be a straightforward chase IMO.

Not so sure about that. A couple of early wickets, KW playing-on or being strangled down the leg-side, & I could conceivably see your loopy spinners rolling us for 190.

Kuldeep's not playing this one.

Tbf this is often the pattern in ODI games. Just because the new-ball does a bit & you get 4-5 wickets in the first 15-20 overs doesn't normally follow that you roll them easily thereafter.

Batting generally gets easier. I still remember it costing us in the '03 WC when we had Australia 6 down for **** -all, but got greedy and bowled Bond out his full quota early, only to be impenetrable at the end when Lee and Bickel took the game away from us.

Definitely, but I’d have like them to show some intent by bowling Astle rather than 10 from Munners.

Or brought Henry or Boult back for a mid innings spell.

 

[thierry henry]

If we don’t get Rayudu soon that drop by Boult is gonna start looking pretty bad

 

[Zinzan]

Kuldeep's not playing this one.

You still have Chahal & Jadhav. Point stands.

 

[thierry henry]

ffs why do we keep bowling short to Rayudu??

 

[vcs]

Rayudu's batting really well now. Still struggling to work the ball into gaps for singles, but good hitting.

 

[Zinzan]

Definitely, but I’d have like them to show some intent by bowling Astle rather than 10 from Munners.

Or brought Henry or Boult back for a mid innings spell.

Henry isn't a 'mid-innings' spell bowler, that's the only problem. In fact I'm not convinced he's consistently a death bowler either.

 

[thierry henry]

We tried all of our middle overs bowlers and Munro was by far the hardest to score off and really should have had Rayudu out, it was obvious why he was kept on

 

[mr_mister]

Rayadu has proved himself for a while now despite all his runs being excused as easy/lucky/unimportant. They can't take this innings off him

But the innings has been ****ing horrible lol

 

[thierry henry]

thank God for that

 

[NZTailender]

gj henry

 

[thierry henry]

Henry really doesn’t seem to have a clear idea what he’s doing at the death

 

[Dan]

But the innings has been ****ing horrible lol

I think it's hard to criticise a 90 (113) too much considering it was, what, 4/25ish?

 

[The Hutt Rec]

He’s more of a mid innings bowler than a death bowler. If Ferguson ends up in the team with him I’d bowl Henry out mid innings and leave the death to Ferguson.

We tried all of our middle overs bowlers and Munro was by far the hardest to score off and really should have had Rayudu out, it was obvious why he was kept on

Well, Astle got tried for one over, but whatever.

KW's very, very, very conservative with leg spin
