Australia v NZ - CH Series I

because he's shit?

And yes I can't wait for this. Gonna fire up the smoker, get a Pork Shoulder slow-cooking & relax in front of the TV with a 6 pack. Bring on the summer of cricket!

We all wrote him off and then he suddenly kicked ass for a little while, due to us writing him off. More of a T20 specialist I guess but I'd like to see him given more of a go in the ODIs.

@No-Quarter his record is all sorts of ordinary
That middle order looks rubbish. Our best hope might be if Aus decide to rest their two good bowlers.
-
@mariner4life They might put some thought into batting BJ at 4 - seems to me he's better suited playing an accumulating role there than at 7?
Or they could have Latham keep and play Neesham.
In any case, 4,5,6 look problematic if 1,2,3 don't score plenty.

Rosco is a huge loss given his ability to navigate the middle overs. BJ seems like a very reasonable option to cover that.

FFS Aussie, it's "only New Zealand". Great chance to rest a few players you'd think...

Anyone know why Munro wasn't in India?
at last inspection he was a truly horrible player of spin. good eye though, and can smash a ball.

@Chris-B. said in Australia v NZ - CH Series I:
Latham, Guptill, Williamson, Nicholls, Munro, de Grandhomme, Watling, Santner, Southee, Henry, Boult
That lineup will put even more pressure on our top 3. Could be pretty nervy if we lose early wickets. I guess we have our insurance at no.9 though....

@Virgil Didn't that happen to Ian Butler in Melbourne at Etihad? And then we ended up winning the game (The Matt Sinclair catch game)?
Think it's standard practice for every new black caps bowler to get tonked in their first odi in Aus.
Well except for this guy, he did OKish.. -
@Virgil not if it's fast enough.. if it's high 130s and he gets smacked then yup, but if anyone hits 150 clicks then i don't care if they get smacked first time out, there's still something there to get excited about. at least until the inevitable injuries hit.
