swap stoinis for green and I think I can just about get behind this structure for the line-up. when green inevitable misses, it's tricky bringing in a replacement though (as stoinis sucks)

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Sears and Allen for the next game please. Maybe Sodhi as well to see how he bowls. Would like to finish this series learning something other than new innovative ways to bottle up games.

Sodhi is in NZ. He missed selection.

The players on paper aren't the issue pet se, but **** me are they good at finding ways to lose as a collective

In saying that, if the current guys aren't mentally up to it, shake the team up and fire management. Get some fearless young guys in there.

They won't win the wc but this lot won't either.

This commentator right now discussing the block - yes

Tonight is nothing to do with personnel. These players are more than good enough to at least have a crack, which they barely have tonight. 100% a mental thing IMO.

 

[Moss]

Yup, mental thing for sure. How did Williamson believe that dead batting everything was the best way to go about it. I'd say he needs a break from the game except he has been available for barely 50% of NZ's games in the last year or so.

Hardie might be that player if he can keep improving.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

If they underperform at least we've got alternative players to pressure their spots - Allen, Phillips, Nicholls, Young, Chapman etc. Will the selectors be brave or conservative?

 

[Gob]

Way to go New Zealand

Idiots

 

[TheJediBrah]

Hardie might be that player if he can keep improving.

I was thinking about him yesterday when I was listing in my mind all the all-rounders better than Stoinis

 

[anil1405]

Mentality plus team management's philosophy too. You can't play such subdued cricket and expect to win.

 

[straw man]

Dear Brendon McCullum.

Please come back. I'm sorry for making fun of #intent. I'm sorry for laughing about needing to earn the right to be aggressive. I will repeat all your motivational mumbo jumbo ad nauseum from now on. I will call cricket Bazball.

Just please, for the love of god, teach our batsmen to play with #intent again.

It's the opposite. Been terrible batting this game but these wickets are 1000x better than 350 v 350 extended T20s

Some of those meme field placements would be welcome too actually

 

[Moss]

Yuss! That is how you deal with a Zampa full toss

I agree, first game especially was brilliant, had all the ebbs and flows that T20 doesn't have.

 

[Flem274*]

Pitches haven't been meme enough. Slow with no extravagance. Those Bangers t20 ambush decks were great. Bring back 90 degree grabbers.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Congrats Aus.

Marsh is a pretty good option (Although he's very rarely fit for ODI's for whatever reason.

 

[Bahnz]

Jayzus, these guys are so mentally cooked whenever they play Australia. The core of the side just never recovered from the humiliation they suffered in the 2015 final.
