6th Match - Bangladesh v New Zealand

[straw man]

Aaron Finch giving a well deserved shout out to Tom Latham, he has been huge so far in this tournament, a ton and a fifty when were under the pump.

won't pass 10 for the rest of the tournament

 

[wellAlbidarned]

tbf in international cricket he doesn't have to contend with the likes of Sean Solia and Will Williams, his kryptonite
on domestic pitches with seam movement

you jest but that's a reasonable point - he hasn't overfit his technique or mindset to the domestic game

 

[Athlai]

Who the heck do we drop for the next game?

 

[James]

What a waste, far out!

 

[wellAlbidarned]

it's hilarious that they had to take rachin's broadcaster profile pic with a bandage on his forehead

like wouldn't you have taken the photos earlier or photoshop it out?

Well-played innings though. Latham is in great touch.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Who the heck do we drop for the next game?

It probably has to be Conway who averages 48.3 in Pakistan.

 

[Silver Silva]

Ian Smith needs to calm down sometimes

 

[Moss]

Lol that’s just complacency from Latham.

This is the sort of lax cricket that allowed AUS back into that group game at Eden Park in 2015, after which Starc took over. Just get the job done FFS.

Who the heck do we drop rest for the next game?

Fixed

It was a call back to this when we needed 90 runs off about 25 overs

There was still around 100 runs needed when I made that call and Phillips is struggling at the moment.

Now Latham has been run out, thankfully we should still win this anyway but if Ravindra got out when I made that call we would have been in trouble.

We bat to 10 though

 

[Silver Silva]

It's crazy to think that even with this low score that BD would have Been right in it if they got Ravindra early with a run out chance on 20 ..

Fielding is so important in odi cricket

 

[Athlai]

Phillips 1000 ODI runs as well

 

[ashley bach]

Phillips is struggling at the moment.

He just scored 61 off 39 the other day

 

[wellAlbidarned]

He just scored 61 off 39 the other day

and a 100

Maybe if we had Kyle Mills as our no. 10.

 

[Athlai]

Lets drop a bowler

 

[straw man]

Macewell's ODI batting record is interesting. He has the early match-winning hundred against Ireland and the freak 140 against India in Hyderabad two years ago. So if he comes in early after a collapse, he is capable of going big - at his best he is absolutely destructive. More commonly we want him to hit a quick 30 or more to ice an innings. If you include T20s too he's done that only a handful of times - the best example was 59(33) vs Sri Lanka at home. A few 20s in there. But not quite as much icing as you'd like, yet.

I'd love to see a few 40(25) from him this tournament.
