*Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

[Flem274*]

tom blundell (and watling before he got a really good one) have shown the obvious template. no drives unless it's pure trash, make aus bowl to your strengths aka test batting against quality bowling 101

this is a reserve wicketkeeper who plays for one of the worst shield sides ffs

 

[Moss]

Some sparkling strokeplay aside, Blundell can be proud of this knock. Good crease-occupying opener's innings.

 

[Chewie]

That was terrible running

 

[Spark]

Galaxy brain running there.

 

[Burgey]

Jeez that’s so bad. Slow motion stuff

 

[Immenso]

I wonder if he (or Wellington) will want him opening in first class stuff.

Will it matter? As if test players have a domestic calendar designed with some Plunket Shield?

He’s been fantastic. Bloody awesome knock

 

[artvandalay]

Well at least they can all go and attend the soiree at Warnes'

 

[Flem274*]

some of these guys are mentally shot

bring in more wicketkeepers!

 

[Immenso]

Just plain useless .

 

[Spark]

He’s been fantastic. Bloody awesome knock

Alacrity on the pull shot actually reminded me a lot of Kohli's innings here in 2014

Ian Smith definitely wants to use much, uh, sharper language that he's allowed to on air.

Something like this would've been lol:

It was very well known that Blundell was great on the pull before this innings, so while it's been his standout shot it hasn't surprised me in the slightest. I've been taken aback a bit by some his straight play on the front stool though; I didn't think he had it in him.

 

[Immenso]

14 off 5

Just turned over at 8 off 2. Didn't think it could worse . it just did.

 

[thierry henry]

what are these idiots doing lol. Have moved on to champers here to ‘celebrate’

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Otago needs 3 off 2. Forget about the test.

 

[Daemon]

haha no-ball 4 wtf

 

[The Hutt Rec]

I’d say “consistently mid-table”

 

[straw man]

Apparently we should just pick the best players of the short ball in the country, like Blundell.

Bring back Daryl Mitchell.

Great to see Blundell ton up. Hope he keeps it going and makes this at least semi-interesting for the next little while (with 'semi-interesting' being juts keeping the game going for a little bit longer).
