*Official* New Zealand in Australia 2022

[Fuller Pilch]

RRR almost up to 5 - on this pitch

 

[Neil Young]

Making Abbott look like prime Ewen Chatfield here.

 

[Burgey]

Not quite sure where five an over from here is gonna come from tbh. Have to go after Zampa and Stoinis I suppose.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

It serves us right. We've got Allen, the most exciting white ball opener in the world, and don't pick him. Sure he might nick off early but the bloke is a match winner.

 

[Howsie]

It’s the whole setup, like I said during the first game. team selections are super defensive and the way we play now is the same way.

 

[Skyliner]

Sean Abbott - where have the Aussies been hiding this bloke? Must be storming to the top of the ICC Rankings on this performance, right up there with Ebadot Hossain.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

A run off Abbott! Is he the white ball version of Scott Boland?

 

[Burgey]

Loose there from Sabba

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Kane has faced 55 balls. Needs 80 off 130 for us to win.

 

[ataraxia]

He got out to... that?!

 

[Moss]

The decline of Guptill and retirement of Taylor has certainly had its impact on NZ's top order. Added to KW's tendency to get stuck, it's now a problem.

Lol how appropriate if that's how KW is out.

 

[_Ed_]

You're joking.

 

[Howsie]

And that sums up the current team ?

 

[Burgey]

That’s appalling from a player of KW’s stature. Batted himself into a complete hole

 

[Moss]

What a shocker of an innings. Sad to see him struggle like that.

 

[Meridio]

That is exactly what happens when you get so caught up with preserving your wicket. Finally get a loose ball and you get completely out of shape trying to hit it

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I understand why Boult is leaving. The rest of the bowlers might as well.

 

[straw man]

How could the pitch do that to us

 

[Moss]

Well, on the bright side that means further opportunity for the first name on the team sheet to show his wares.

KW has batted with the intent of Pujara since wc theft
