He doesn't get a pass because theres someone doing worse.He has at times, but 27(19) beats the **** out of 10(12) in this situation
I'm not saying he does, but my original comment was about Chapman not being up to it. Phillips has stunk up the joint with his tactics today, and he's still been vastly superior.He doesn't get a pass because theres someone doing worse.
Kept making room and kept being surprised when the Aussies put it out of his reach
Chapman was really poor. Just doesn't know how to face genuine pace. He's good at beating up on Pakistan, but not much else. This is coming from someone who is a genuine fan but he does seem easy to tie down.I'm not saying he does, but my original comment was about Chapman not being up to it.

My only solace is that we were missing Williamson, Mitchell, Ravindra and Conway.Well done to Australia, but jeez we sucked.
I can handle losing when it's close and we mostly play well, like Wellington. Our performances in the two Auckland games weren't anywhere near good enough.
We just don't have the depth to cover 4 quality batsmen like them all being out and beat Australia, hopefully we get them all back for the test series.My only solace is that we were missing Williamson, Mitchell, Ravindra and Conway.
Bowlers fared ok but also massively let down by the fielding.
I can't think of many up and comers worth looking at as potential backups or future options which is quite depressing tbhWe just don't have the depth to cover 4 quality batsmen like them all being out and beat Australia, hopefully we get them all back for the test series.
Just wait till the test matches mate, you just wait.Too professional, Australia. This is a schooling.
