I knew there were a couple of deciders lost recently (e.g. India) but didn't realise there were five - that's a terrible.record.
Realize now why I called them losers....

We need big match players, our players crumble in inconsequential series deciders.... Can only imagine how bad its going to be next year in the WC when the pressure is really on....

So not only is another series lost, but Nicolls is retained too.......................................................................

This game is lost either way, Nicolls scoring runs here is going to hurt us in the long run.

Top edge just over the head of a fielder... god he's bad.... no idea what the selectors see in him.

Nicholls looks utterly at sea against Rashid. Think he's picked one out of the dozen or so balls he's faced from him.

So who would you have in the ODI (and test?) team instead of Nicholls?

Santner is in such good form. Striking them so well.

Spinners figures both been spoiled a tad in their last over.

Yeah but who comes in for Nicholls in NZ's Sheffield Shield side?
I was thinking we could add a NZ team to the Shield itself. Mightn't be able to challenge the stronger sides like Victoria but will be a good learning experience for the NZ players.

Nasser really laying into Colin. Fair enough though that was ****ing stupid
I like hearing Nasser speak his mind like that - unlike some other commentators when he starts on something it's usually justified.

I know I'd said Nicholls was going to score an inconsequential 50 and it could be argued that by contrast, CDG hitting out could potentially have been consequential, but there's still some discretion to be had. Rashid the biggest threat and only had a couple more overs, #intent doesn't mean you have to hit him for 6.
