*Official* Australia in New Zealand T20s 2021

Zampa helping us here by bowling flat and fast. Easiest ball to face on this deck. Why isn't he flighting it and hitting the length? Can't complain really. 4 overs of his bowling like this sort will help us hold on to wickets.

"flat and fast" is just what he does.

I wish Phillips had bowled. Could be an option at the World Cup.

Yeah, missed opportunity given the conditions.

 

[Spark]

Slow pitch or not, 19(28) is pretty bad.

 

[Athlai]

Must admit for a long time I didn't understand why Australia picked Zampa, apart from the need to have a blond legspinner. I don't know when or how it happened but he now seems to be actually good.

Has a Z in his name.

Quite pleased Seifert is gone. Just doesn't have it.

 

[Meridio]

Good wicket for us that, we need Conway in

He's not going to bowl much at this level to be honest. Unless he's consistent, changes pace, bowls good yorkers and can beat the batters with flight. Too much to ask of him right now.

Looking ahead beyond this series to the T20WC. Munro in and Conway to keep.

Seiffert will still need to be in the squad as reserve keeper, though.

If it's Munro and Conway opening then I agree.

Do we really want Conway to keep though?

Sure but wasted opportunity on this deck. If Santner can turn even I can lol

 

[Athlai]

Just chuck Blundell at 6

 

[Athlai]

Key period this. Can't let Maxwell go cheap

 

[nzfan]

Don't see a problem with that. In a typical T20 the keepers at an average take like 10 balls behind the stumps. Easiest format to keep and not taxing on the body.

19 (28) and 7 (10). It was a combined effort to allow Agar to go for 7 runs from 3 overs in the power play.

 

[Athlai]

Uh oh spaghettios

Some people on here are seriously underselling phillips game vs spin. Was absolutely brilliant in the cpl last year on the slowest dust bowls I've ever seen dished up in t20's anywhere, expect him to go well here.

The Wellington barber who cut Maxwells hair needs to be found and shamed. That is putrid

If he was that good he'd be bowling consistently mate. Easy as. Kane and the rest of the coaching aren't that dud you'd think to not bowl if he's that good.

 

[Spark]

a proper OS there

 

[Athlai]

Wellllllllll that's enough of that
