Those wrists are going to be sore after today but they're producing some delightful strokes

Dropped c&b aside, a five-run over in the 46th is a fair effort.

 

[Grasshopper]

Taylor out for 137. Terrific knock.

Dropped c&b aside, a five-run over in the 46th is a fair effort.

Too right, that was a very good over at this stage.

 

[Grasshopper]

C'mon, Henry!

 

[straw man]

This innings makes me feel a lot more confident about Nicholls being reserve top-5 batsman. In previous ODI innings he's been bogged down far too easily.

And there's the hundred! Congrats.

 

[Athlai]

Nicholls joins big boy club

 

[NZTailender]

Good job Nicholls, pleasantly surprised how he's stepped up this summer.

Good job Nicholls, pleasantly surprised how he's stepped up this summer.

I'm far less worried about our batting being the Kane Williamson show once Taylor finally retires now.

 

[thundaboult]

Yes its a mediocre bowling attack...but wow, top class from Henry! He has literally GROWN in the last two months in dramatic fashion....promising promising stuff this

 

[hendrix]

Nicholls has had an amazing season. Love it.

 

[hendrix]

JFC this has been some terrible bowling. Dishing it up on a plate

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Bloody hell Nicholls is the new Bradman.

 

[Athlai]

Nicholls averaged 31 in ODIs after 30 innings before this match. He now averages 37.

 

[_Ed_]

Nicholls with a casual 50 off his last 20 balls.

 

[Grasshopper]

That'll do nicely.

Fine innings from Nicholls to put the icing on the cake.

 

[thundaboult]

stunning

first time I've seen nicholls hitting em clean. I knew he could do the paddles and scoops but I doubted whether he could consistently clear the ropes. Keeps proving me totally wrong and I love it.
