Are we really good or are all the visiting teams just really shite?

@sneakdefreak I’ll let you know when Malik goes

We're actually bloody good. And like all the good teams, difficult to beat at home. It's a good time to be a Black Caps fan.

Southee is destroying their top order. 37/4

Elements of both, that Windies team was fucken awful. Was listening on the radio just before and Oram was mentioning the depth, he rattled off a whole bunch of genuinely good players who aren't what you'd call 'first choice'
( Milne, Neesh, Anderson, Bracewell, Sodhi etc )I thought he was talking about the ABs for a sec.
-
That Windies team was awful but they also won a test in England recently. We were ruthless.
-
-
I like the Lochie and Santner combo first change, doesn't allow the batsmen to easily get into a rhythm.
-
Sometimes I wonder if I'm watching the same game as the comms. Several times they've said Kane and Guppy "weathered the initial storm" from the Pakistan fast bowlers before picking up the pace.
No, the only storm was in the form of Munro and it was Pakistan doing the weathering. That gave Kane and Guppy the chance to take their time and get their eye in before putting the pedal down.

Astle gets Sarfraz and this is turning into an absolute hiding.

I can't believe that happened but then again it does explain England's struggles in Oz. The hosts have one all time freak, three or four really good test players and a handful of okish test players. It's not a great Australian team by any stretch.

54/5 but that little Fakhar is hanging around.
-
Fakhar says fak this and puts a couple over the fence.

Santner taking a bit of a hiding in the last over.
Spinners getting smashed ( relatively speaking )
Probably not smart going with two spinners (although the BCs are still cruising). Another pace bowler, maybe Matt Henry, would have been good in hindsight. Comms are suggesting Munro might get an over or two.
-
I think overall we are pretty good. We have a chance against anyone at home. Last summer, however, should have told us that we are a fair bit behind South Africa although we weren't embarrassed against them. Overall we are probably about 5th in ODIs and Tests.
-
I hear he’s not very keen on training. He’s a lazy Fakhar.
