*Official* New Zealand in Australia 2022

[straw man]

Sub-par total, we'll know in the first ten overs if we have any chance of defending or not. Bowling all about accuracy on slight variations on this wicket.

This ODI series was supposed to be played about 18 months but cancelled bcos of covid (1st game played with no crowd if I remember). Needs to be played as part of the ODI super league as qualification for the 2023 WC.

I don’t want to alarm you but that was actually 30 months ago

 

[_Ed_]

Well, that was an interesting first over from Boult.

 

[Starfighter]

Boult should certainly be backing himself to get Finch here. Just need to slide one across him.

 

[Moss]

Some NZ-Aus tropes never die

 

[_Ed_]

This is great from Boult, but Henry's not filling me with much confidence in this spell.

 

[Chubb]

Free of the need to gloat, tell every Australian batsman to **** off and glory in their failure against Zim I want to say that I feel for Aaron Finch at the moment.

Still if you are Richard Ngarava’s bunny, good luck against Trent.

 

[_Ed_]

Yeah, I feel sorry for Finch too - seems like his days are numbered as an international cricketer now.

 

[_Ed_]

Glorious!

 

[Flem274*]

well

is trenty sure he wants to go spending time in meme comps?

pls your odi bowling is too ***y.

 

[straw man]

Nice
Surprising in retrospect on the slower wicket that none of the NZ bats played on like Smith. Chipped catches instead.

 

[thierry henry]

Henry just has nothing for Warner

 

[Moss]

Well couldn't have asked for a better start. Though Boult has never been at his best in tests vs Aus, seems to step up in the shorter forms for sure.

Henry needs to back him up here, Warner is toying with him ATM

 

[_Ed_]

Henry just has nothing for Warner

Yep. Seems to be troubling Marnus though, so maybe there's hope yet.

 

[thierry henry]

Henry’s 138kph also seems a nicer pace to hit on a slow pitch then Boult’s 132kph slow, wobbly swing

 

[thierry henry]

Boult effectively 3/3 off 4 overs

 

[Moss]

Ha ha. Not Matt Henry's best spell but that'll help.

 

[thierry henry]

Henry just has nothing for Warner

You’re welcome

Also, I’m still right because he’s just creamed a long hop

 

[_Ed_]

This pleases me.

 

[thierry henry]

Ordinarily Maxwell at 7 and Green at 8 would seem like a weirdly selected side, but right now it makes me very nervous
