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

[_Ed_]

Thar be swing!

...which Boult then proceeds to not use, with a series of short rubbish.

 

[_Ed_]

Top start by Southee.

 

[Flem274*]

So, that's about 9% total runs in boundary fours for Eden Park vs 7% for the MCG. Not a huge difference.

2% in sixes for Eden Park vs 0.5% for the MCG. Quite a significant difference.

eden park is a great ground for singles in weird places

Sorry Howsie, Seifert is a genuinely terrible gloveman.

 

[Moss]

Truly sloppy bowling effort so far, but Malan and Morgan have been really up for this.

 

[vcs]

Huge six by Malan. England's hitting ability in limited overs cricket is quite impressive.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Malan vs Sodhi is alternating between he's never picked a bat up before and he's the greatest batsman of all time. Very strange.

 

[Moss]

Sorry Howsie, Seifert is a genuinely terrible gloveman.

So it goes.

 

[Bahnz]

Yep, Seifert’s going to have to improve massively with the gloves if he’s to play tests.

 

[straw man]

I thought a full toss from a spinner wasn't a no-ball unless above neck height - a dumb rule in the first place, has that changed again? i.e. Sodhi's full toss no-balled.

 

[straw man]

Amidst another pretty bad bowling and fielding performance, Southee has bowled one of his best T20 spells.

 

[Athlai]

Southee has been good all summer

 

[Flem274*]

i thought the bowling and fielding, santner excepted, was ok tbh. i did miss the first few overs though. disastrous?

 

[_Ed_]

Colin easing my nerves a bit with some superb early hitting.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Bowling consistently on leg stump is the least successful tactic I've seen implemented against Munro.

 

[Moss]

Love how Munro seems to relish his role and these situations. Played a really good knock up front in the decider ODI against India last October too.

 

[_Ed_]

Bowling consistently on leg stump is the least successful tactic I've seen implemented against Munro.

Yeah, pretty questionable.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Yeah you can't cramp Munro for room, England

 

[_Ed_]

Excellent start by the spinners.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Momentum really coming to a halt here ...
