Bracewell... hats off. Whatever happened there? Unbelievable stuff. So we found a dhoni for NZ. He can play as a pure batsman much higher.

Apart from Bracewell and maybe one or two other players were pretty clueless.

Super happy we just about got over the line but this team slowly ending up quite average. How did we let Ireland get to 300 in the first place? Ireland let go about two to three catches, about 3-4 run outs, some club level fieldset and very average bowling.

Bracewell as a captain isn't much of a wait now.

Bracewell as captain? He's only just made the team, where's the inside gossip on this info coming from?

That was tounge in cheek comment.... seriously Latham is pretty useless as a captain. They need to find a backup for Kane soon. I suppose someone like Young can do a better job. Do that and let Latham do what he does best, bat.

Yeah agreed. Watched mainly the first half of NZ innings, but definitely looking more like a team which has played barely ODI cricket since the Lord’s super over than one which is somehow ranked no.1. The 2019 WC attack won’t necessarily work as a combination in India and the second string isn’t great. There’s no batsman under 30 giving the selectors a headache, have to persist with Allen and Phillips and hope they kick on. KW, Conway and Mitchell needed in the XI quite clearly.

Still, nice to see Macewell put in a bid for finisher even if Ireland wilted at the end. Neesham must be pretty worried about his NZ future now.

Yeah Latham doesn't cut the mustard for me either, but Young as captain? LOL more tongue and cheek?

Wtf just happened

Ireland done an Ireland.

Its always an issue with them, get through the top order and then a lower order player (bracewell in this situation ) is made to look like Bradman.

That final over of bowling, holy moly.

Not helped that Josh Little seems to be really struggling massively atm sadly.

Chance for Bracewell to show he has more batting nous than he displayed in the tests.
Considering he actually scored the lion’s share of runs after he came in and somehow wrung support from the NZ tail, this was pretty special.

This was a one man band, hardly got any support at all, Lockie getting 8 off 13 fortunately proved enough.
