Santner bowling a 72km/h loopy wide piece of **** to Hasan from his final ball to just try and buy his wicket is bloody hilarious.

Why is Seifert's List A record so woeful though Howsie (averaging 22 to Chapman's 55 in roughly the same period in the same comp)? Not having a crack there, just what's been the main fault over the course of his career to date?

The dominant hockey-swiping bottom hand means he's just never really deft in his placement enough to find the sweet spot tempo for 50-over batting, meanwhile he'll happily rack up long strings of dots in FC cricket?

Maybe Seify's Hamilton upbringing helps him remain relatively unfazed by the boredom of racking up dots. I mean, Kelly (from Counties/Auckland) can't even do that for me in four-dayers. He's just consistently gone for a mindless low percentage cut or cover drive really early and nicked himself out, time and again.

His numbers were pretty bad in his first couple of seasons where for the most part he batted at 7. That was a completely new role for him career wise seeing as he was a top order batsman in school, youth, club, district and “A” cricket.

Last five overs 50/0 pretty good when you're 7 down. Pakistan should get 240 from here, maybe even 250+.

Dunno if the stats would prove this or if it's actually normal in the era of BIG BATZZZZZ, but I feel like Santner (who is overall a very good, economical LO bowler) bowls an unusually high number of dot balls and concedes an unusually large % of runs in boundaries, particularly 6s.

He's actually pretty outstanding at preventing batsmen from milking easy runs with only 4 in the circle, but those same batsmen seem to have a lot of success when they panic and try to hit him out of the park.
