Australia v NZ - CH Series I
-
Pretty shit bowling effort actually. A lot of dropped catches, but worse was the actual bowling. Ferguson being wayward I pass cos he was on debut, but Henry 2/74, and Neesham 2/58 off 6 were way, way too expensive. 325 will be a very tough score to run down, a number of guys will need to step up big time.
Latham bowled Hazelwood for 2. Not a great start.

Neesham bowled his first 4 overs for 24. The only reason Neesham had to come back for two more was because Ferguson was hit out of the attack and Williamson only got 9 overs out of Santner. Neesham is always going to get tonked if he has to bowl there. Colin de Grandhomme ends up with good figures but his figures would probably be as bad or worse than Neesham's if he had to bowl at the death. Henry looked dangerous early but was poor late on.
Our strategy when B Mac was captain was to bowl our strike bowler (Boult) out upfront. I think Henry should perhaps be the one to do that role for us. McClenaghan and Anderson are good death bowlers but both are currently injured. I think Williamson shouldn't have left Boult to bowl 4 of the last ten overs. I think we needed him to get another 2 over spell there in the middle. I suppose he didn't feel confident doing that because then it would be Henry/Neesham/Ferguson to bowl more at the death.

Now Kane goes. Our sloggers are going to have to come off big time.

Neesham should not be a number 4. He's a 6 at best.
Then Munro probably has to be at 4 - unless you want Nicholls.
Munro should definitely be at four. He is playing as specialist batsmen, Neesham is the bowling allrounder and should be batting at six.

I think we can win this but this partnership needs to stick together.
There is no way we can win this game.

We are currently at $5.75 to win. It's tough but doable.
No way hydro. Stick a fork in us we're done
