***Official*** Trans-Tasman Twenty20 Tri-Series

[wellAlbidarned]

Pretty sharp turn considering he's just darting them in

 

[Burgey]

This has been the sort of collapse which makes a game interesting.

 

[Burgey]

Lol that’s village.

See what happens when you turn it away from the bat?

 

[Starfighter]

A bit limp from Willey.

 

[stephen]

159 might be too high.

Really puts the quality of the first couple of big partnerships in perspective.

 

[mackembhoy]

Willey is an absolute joke of an international batsmen.

Every single innings he tries to slog the ball into another country and unsurprisingly fails everytime.

A high score of 20 odd iirc from international cricket

 

[Flem274*]

they've lost 4/5

 

[Starfighter]

The way the wickets have fallen tonight makes me think it might be a mistake from England to only go with the one spinner.

 

[Burgey]

Tom Curran! Two world surfing championships and a bomb first ball. Like the cut of his jib.

 

[Flem274*]

For someone who was sometimes described as quiet and shy and not one of the lads KP sure does lack an inside voice

 

[Flem274*]

this innings has been like an inversion of the NZ one but barring last wicket heroics will probably not score many more runs

 

[Burgey]

Love how he keeps talking to Carey on the mic as the ball is being delivered...

Got to say this has been utterly brain dead from England.

 

[Zinzan]

The Lololapse aside, I hope New Zealand learned from the attitude of Roy, Hales & Malan in the first 10 overs. Thought England were excellent up front, even if the pace bowling was much easier than game 1.

What's happened since vs. the spin is of course a separate matter.

 

[Flem274*]

Has anyone ever sounded more insincere when empathising with the English cricket team than KP?

its pretty funny

 

[Second Spitter]

Last over: "Defend every single ball" -- KP.

 

[stephen]

England probably 30 runs short tonight.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Hopefully Steve Smith is watching and realises that Maxwell is a useful bowler, and Head isn't

 

[morgieb]

were the umpires wearing helmets last game

I think only a couple of umps have helmets, it’s not a common thing.

 

[pdsubbu]

Looking forward for more fun... with bunch of young newbies.

 

[TheJediBrah]

I like the depth of this Aus side a lot better than the last one. They basically did exactly what I wanted them to and got rid of Zampa for a batsman.

Carey & Agar look a lot better at 7 & 8 than they did at 6 & 7
