*Official* New Zealand in Australia 2022

[Flem274*]

before today, i think the most impressive part of Mitchell's purple patch is how proactive he has been even with aerial shots. put paid to conservative = more runs and risk = better strike rate. in test cricket he seems to be very aware of where the field is as he plays his shot.

8 an over from here gets to 270

Aussie comms hyping us far beyond what we deserve imo. They're going for the jinx so when we fold they can put the boot in.

That or this is the humble hangover game after the Zimbabwe loss.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Latham's highest ODI score vs Oz is 38!

 

[Mike5181]

Whose idea was it to put Nathan Lyon on commentary? **** he's terrible.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Maxwell's economical bowling is a killer

Almost makes you miss the last decade of CH9

170/3 after 40 then hopefully 100 off the last 10.

Probably 160/4 and 60 (plus lots of wickets) off the last 10

Yeah six overs of Starc+Hazlewood vs Macewell+Neesham+Santner is not a fight we're going to win. Tricky to judge, like the comms say, but think we need to push a little harder from now.

 

[straw man]

Latham not the best at hitting fast bowlers off their lengths but he can and should do it to spin - can't leave it all to Mitchell.

Looks like Mitchell's flicked the switch already - trying to go after Zampa this over.

 

[Moss]

This is a decent platform. 260+ from here please.

 

[thierry henry]

Entire team 30+ today…surely that can’t have happened often in international cricket?

 

[thierry henry]

Weirdly Mitchell seemed to hit that exactly where he tried to hit it

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Here he comes. The Great Young Hope. Bracewell McBracewellface.

As the Pixies wrote, thinking of this future behemoth of the game. Here Comes Your Man.

Or when he gets out This Monkey's Gone to Heaven.

 

[ataraxia]

It seems we have a problem with... scoring runs.

 

[_Ed_]

This is a fairly disastrous 42nd over.

 

[Moss]

Seriously Latham? Could have hit that anywhere

 

[_Ed_]

We're about to give Maxwell a sub-50 bowling average.

 

[thierry henry]

We couldn’t have planned this any worse really, 2 sets of guys batting a little too slowly and then all 4 getting out after a start. So basically a Bracewell/Neesham slog determines an ok innings or a poor one.
