@siam how fast has he been chucking them down?

Saw a few clocked at 149km.
I remember Doull talking about the speed ball radar and how it gives three readings. In NZ we take the middle reading, whereas Aus take the fastest. So if this was in Aus they'd be clocking him above 150km.

I think his highest was 153.4 actually. Much better than Milne so hopefully he can become a genuine wicket taking threat rather than just a bowler we select because he is fast.
We already select spinners who can't spin it so fast bowlers don't necessarily have to be really fast.

Black Caps win by 61 runs thanks to the Daffy Duck system.

The Black Caps juggernaut rolls on. Great to see Kane find form, and Southee was superb in his opening spell - sealed the match for us.
Loving the team at the moment - well coached, great culture, some depth and some world class players to boot.

Yep, good result for the Black Caps, despite a fair few soft dismissals with the bat we performed well in all 3 facets. I don't think there's much doubt that we would have won if we'd been able to play through all the allotted overs, but I do feel a bit for Fakhar who had been batting well and would likely have picked up a century in a losing cause.

We've had some dead set legends in the time I've watched the team. Paddles, Crowe, Cairnsy, Vettori and Bond ( backed up by any number of triers/journeymen ) to name a few but I don't recall the team as a unit ever being this good. Long may it continue.

Southee is destroying their top order. 37/4
Not the same Southee everyone loves to hate surely?
I usually bite my tongue but gee the guy gets some undeserved shit and every bastard* goes quiet when he does well.
*including some on here!!!!

Bowling Southee = good to amazing, batting Southee = underwhelming to 'fuck me, that came off ok!!'

Southee gets shit when he bats like Jeetan Patel - deservedly - when we expect he can bat like Corey Anderson.
His bowling is pretty damn good and he gets no shit for that aspect of play.

I wonder if Lance Cairns got the same level of shit for his batting as Southee does? ( very similar records )

Disagree with you here.
He does get shit for his bowling. Everyone goes through ups and downs with form but no one else cops it like Southee when he’s not at his best.He’s right up there amongst the best in all forms when it comes to wickets taken for the Caps, but there are constant calls for his head, he’s done, replace him with Henry blah blah...
On another note, Munro must be getting close to some kind of NZ record for consecutive scores over 50? He’s up to 4 now isn’t he?

Im still concerned Inzaman could come out and take this away from us..
Say that quietly - Inzi's nephew is in the squad!
We're looking pretty solid in ODIs. Bring in de Grandhomme for Astle (on most pitches) and that gives us a lower order power hitter that today's team was a bit short of (though I've heard the commentators saying that Santner hits the ball as far as anyone else in the team and also talk that Timmy has been working on his batting). Those three firing together would be a pretty potent lower order. Asking Colin to bowl 10 overs on Australian pitches might be interesting, though.
@Labcat - Milne has clocked 153.2. I'd guess he's a few inches taller than Ferguson so should have an advantage in bouncing the ball - on the downside it seems he's made of glass.

Southee averages about 33 with the ball which is a pretty mediocre average. He's not quite consistent enough to be in the top tier of odi bowlers which is frustrating from a guy who, when in good form, is up there as one of the best in the world.
That's the source of the criticism I think. We watch him producing absolutely world class spells for multiple games and then he'll go a whole series where he bowls 2 or 3 boundary balls an over and lose any kind of threat and the knives come out because we know how much better he can be.
