***Official*** Australia in New Zealand 2016

i thought kane was supposed to be good

Agree, I think it was reminiscent of Bradman's last test innings too.

 

[Zinzan]

Really hoping Nicholls proves me wrong, not convinced he's up to this level yet. That said, the slow pitch might actually play into his hands in terms of being able to survive today.

needs his mask back imo

 

[Spikey]

I for one am supporting proud Sydney Thunder product Nicholls

 

[Athlai]

Nicholls reminds me of early Taylor a bit.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

maxwell should go into acting as a type cast villian when he's done with cricket. Looks like such a shady ****

 

[NZTailender]

Nichollssss still haven't made up my mind whether I like you or loathe you.

 

[Zinzan]

Nicholls reminds me of early Taylor a bit.

A left-handed early Taylor? I don't see it tbh.


Edit: Although that lofted on-drive was a little similar I suppose.

I'm not getting this, he looks like a pretty middle of the road young bat. Should be decent with a bit more game time.

How he cuts as well. Did Nicholls play hockey I wonder?

He doesn't impress as someone who is super talented and could dominate. Seems like a competent player who could have a good career or could be limited and another Peter Fulton.

Yeah, I was surprised Sydney Thunder picked him up as Kallis' replacement ahead of other batsmen in their squad. They obviously saw something I haven't so far in his career.

Tbf 18 off 21 is a promising start so far.

 

[Moss]

Nicholls is quite the lbw candidate.

Definitely some potential as a limited overs player.

I like that he's already showing the ability to manufacture angles to access singles and boundaries off good deliveries which most of our batsmen struggle with, particularly into the leg side.

 

[Athlai]

Guptill is probably the coolest six hitter in the world.

 

[_Ed_]

Jeez. Gup must have eaten his spinachk.

 

[Zinzan]

Nicholls is quite the lbw candidate.

That's one thing he definitely has in common with a young Rosco.

Geeze Gupitll can hit a ball... not quite consistently up with Gayle in 90+ meter blows, but man he's up there.

 

[SilentOne]

**** that has to be bigger than the one on the roof.

 

[Zinzan]

Guptill is probably the coolest six hitter in the world.

2nd to Gayle in biggest sixes, but yeah more appealing to the eye, or are we Keewies just biased?
