*Official* New Zealand in Australia 2022

[ashley bach]

Report said it’s been under the covers a bit, may have influenced Finch to bowl first.

Either way it looks like unders to me, for the simple fact overs looks insane.

 

[Prince EWS]

Any chance Ben Sears plays?

Heard an interview with Devon Conway and he reckons he’s the quickest in New Zealand, and quite possibly the world. Can imagine this New Zealand set up would be the only one in the world that wouldn’t play someone like that in Australia ?‍

Well if he's the quickest in NZ he's the quickest in the world too, because (excluding Sears for a sec), Ferguson is the quickest in the world at the moment.

NZ having the two quickest bowlers in the world would be a bit unusual for sure - It'd make it all the more sad that one looks set to retire with just one underdone Test and NZ seem pretty disinterested in playing the other even in JAMLOIs.

Looking forward to conway vs starc

IAN SMITH is commentating! Oh I'm already into this man, bring it!

MOTM at 4 in run chase in 3rd odi in WI.
Big 100 to save us from embarrasment vs the Netherlands.

But zero good in between those innings.

 

[straw man]

Classic fast bowler over - four shite balls and then a couple on the money that may have snagged a wicket.

 

[ataraxia]

Gap between bat and ball, right?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Bat hit pad

 

[ataraxia]

They see Macewell as a 5th bowler, whereas they see Phillips good for 3-4 overs max.

Neesham/Mitchell for 6-7 overs is surely fine

but then the coaches children couldn't play and we wouldn't want to challenge the narrative we're plucky little kiwis with no depth would we? people might actually expect overseas results then if we had some talented young reserves to work with.

My bad, did forget about the Nethelands one.

 

[ataraxia]

Looks like the wind's blowing towards the shorter side; could be a few massive overs here.

 

[Skyliner]

The GOAT is sounding like a goose in commentary.

 

[ashley bach]

1 run off the bat in 24 balls...not promising.

 

[Moss]

Don't mind the slow start if they manage to see these two off. They haven' given much away.

EDIT: Well...great catch

 

[Flem274*]

batting for lunch against Aussie and then a wicket - I've seen this movie, get a new plot.

 

[ataraxia]

That dive was a little lacklustre lol, but sadly made it.

 

[kaetor]

Another waste of an innings from Guptill. Feels like when he doesn't fire, he just eats up balls for nothing.

 

[straw man]

Feels like most NZ white ball innings vs Australia in recent years have started with the top order tentative and cautious, before losing wickets anyway.

That was a poor innings from Guptill - becalmed and then finally half-tries to manufacture something and gets out.

1 run off the bat in 24 balls...not promising.

So many dots on the trot often bring a wicket, stunner from Maxwell though.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Aussies going the extra batsman, probably the right call.
