Australia v NZ - CH Series I
-
@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.

@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.
Yeah bout that...

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.

Which evaporates when his first 3 overs are smacked for 35 runs

@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.

Fuck. 15 years? Doesn't seem like that long.
Even when I'm 80 I'll still remember that series like it was yesterday...

Will always have a fond spot in my heart for the caps team of the late 90's early 2000's
Sure we were shit 75% of the time, but a lot of my favouritist players played then, Astle, Bond, Flem, Cairns (before we knew he was an alleged fixer), Nash, Macca, Lou V, Oram, Pig, Rigor and Dan the man -
