***Official***Match #27- Australia vs New Zealand - October 28th-Dharamsala (D)

[Neil Young]

Time to move on from Latham in ODIs after this world cup. His career story has been one of doing just enough to retain his place and I don't see it changing. We should be proactive and look for better, even if it hurts short term. In 4 years if it turns out they were all worse we can always bring him back for the world cup. He will score his start as he always does.

Modern NZ isn't that ruthless though.

Absolutely agree with this. And in this WC, I'd move him to 6.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

You have the weirdest opinions

What?

I've supported keeping him in the ODI team up until now, but only because this World Cup is in India.

I agree after this tournament it's time to look at other options. And also agree he's let us down in the last few games, this has literally been the moments he's in the side for.

 

[King Kane]

Even if we lose this I hope Rachin at least gets a ton.

Australia need to get their least talented, most unassuming bowler on to Ravindra. It seems to work very well against him in domestic cricket. Will see off the Black Cap(s) and interesting players, then get out to some 115kph battler or twirly boi.

 

[Athlai]

What?

We’re still a fair but behind and I’m a huge optimist, these two make it to 40th over and maybe we will get close to being ahead

Don't volunteer this precious top secret information!

I actually really rate head's bowling for some reason, glad they haven't brought him on

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

NZ should just play out the five remaining overs of Zampa and Maxwell, and attack the rest.

I’ve heard he’s better than wade

Adam Zampa now moves into 2nd spot for most wickets taken by an Australian spinner in One Day Internationals, overtaking Brad Hogg.

1. Shane Warne: 293 (194 matches)

2. Adam Zampa: 157 (91 matches)

3. Brad Hogg: 156 (123 matches)

4. Peter Taylor: 97 (83 matches)

5. Allan Border: 73 (273 matches)

6. Glen Maxwell: 67 (134 matches)

7. Nathan Hauritz: 63 (58 matches)

=8. Greg Matthews: 57 (59 matches)

=8. Michael Clarke: 57 (245 matches)

9. Xavier Doherty: 55 (60 matches)

10. Darren Lehmann: 52 (117 matches)

For what it's worth, I still rate Hoggy a better bowler than Zampa.

 

[Gob]

Jee that's village

10 an over needed, not sure ‘playing out is an option’ really

Hazlewood has 4 overs and other bowlers have been toothless. If NZ play that well then they are winning but we all know you kiwis like to choke against Aussies.

 

[morgieb]

What the hell Hazlewood

Yeah I don't see him at the next world cup at all. Don't know who the best replacement will be but let's pick that up some time in 2026 when we next play some serious ODIs.

Would back them to score @12-13 against Aussie pacers

Yeah Hogg maybe a tad better but still a good find
