Not much play I see, but 2 balls was enough to see Robinson out for a duck. Sigh.

Coriolis effect, FFS, you ignoramus.

oy! meesta proim meeneesta!

An honorable draw first up - not a bad result for NZ B

So, is Beastie's Boys: The Sequel getting washed out too?

 

[straw man]

Oh cool we're playing. For a certain definition of cool. As cool as a B team JAMT20 second match of a five match series after the first one was washed out and that doesn't seem to be broadcast anywhere can be.

Batting is a collection of batters whose form/ability has been underwhelming. Good chance for Chapman and Foxcroft to do something after 2 down for nothing, I guess.

Oh wait there goes Foxcroft .

Confession - I actually like Ben Lister's bowling. I just wish someone would fix that slow slouchy curving run-up though.

Listening to this without commentators is refreshing.

brilliant couple of deliveries from lister, awkward bounce

Not a great score to catch up on.

Beastie's Boys ending up like MCA

Why does mark chapman hate pakistan so much? Turns into AB De villiers whenever he plays them.

no no he loves them

Well that was a lot better than expected.

Foulkes around that 135-137k mark, kind of what I expected. You can see why he hurries batsman with his bouncer, that run up of his is interesting to say the least. Would make most of his pace through his action.

This one's better.

Looks like a great innings by Chapman. Seeing his score I assumed the pitch was on the slow slide as he isn't great against bounce, but highlights show it was mid-paced. Dominated the spin bowlers.

When you can play an innings like that it seems odd that he's a nearly/not-quite guy for NZ, and it was an unhappy ODI world cup for him. But maybe he can still crack the code.

Kinda funny that he's bowled way faster in tests (close to 146 at the Basin) than we've seen him bowl in t20's and ODI's. Seems like the kinda guy who needs time at the crease to find his rhythm.
