Seemed a very difficult pitch to score at close to a run a ball on - or we made it very had work. We’ll find out which it was very soon
They made hard work of it. Kane has been very disappointing lately. He has employed the Taylor mindset of wasting at least 15 balls before any urgency is shown. Taylor was back to his bad old self. His partnership with Guptill was what slowed down this innings. No urgency and showed way too much respect to the bowlers.

Gee that’s a disappointing total after the platform we had.
Latham on borrowed time in the ODI set up surely, some of his dismissals in the last couple of series have been terrible.
He just doesn’t look comfortable coming in and scoring from ball one. -

We don't quite have the middle-lower order right at the moment. Latham's position must be under pressure, he's not really suited to batting 6 or 7 and hitting from the word go. Think Phillips will be pushing him hard for that slot in the near future. Also missing Corey's hitting power there, though CDGH has done a decent job.
I'd say we're 20 runs below par, and with no Boult in the lineup things could get interesting.
I hear that NQ but Nicholls did a good job of steadying the ship and letting CDGH blaze at the other end in the last ODI. Him and Latham strike me as being good value if the top four fail.

We made a bit of a mess of that.
212/2 after 41 overs - we've only managed to go at 6.5 an over, when you'd expect to go at close to 10.
Wonder if there was a bit of mixed-up thinking out there? Too much focus by his partners on getting CdGh on strike, while Colin wasn't so much thinking that.
Might have been better if Colin had actually turned down a few singles if the aim on the next ball is just going to be to push for a single.

Munro and Santner have a bit of a habit of dropping straight-forward chances. Can't really afford that at this level.

Good to see Henry in the 140s.

He just doesn’t look comfortable coming in and scoring from ball one.Latham averages 20.89 at home.. And that's boosted by his matches against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe
His ton in India will carry him another two years.. same thing happened with Ronchi..

Henry gets Fakher. Is anyone watching? Cricinfo reporting he's bowling quick today.

They’re not the all blacks but by fuck we are building some bloody decent depth especially in the fast bowling.
Take out Boult bring in HenryHenry has a great record in ODIs to date, I'm really surprised he hasn't had more opportunities.
