Black Caps vs Pakistan Series
-
Rosco is on record saying he bats the way he does these days (conservative) as it's the team plan, and that if he's told to hit then he will.

Come on. There are things to criticise but not this. Taylor's T20 international record is very poor. Worse than Bruce's short career and De Grandhomme had to come out ahead of him.

Fair enough that's a little strange. I have always said Chapman should be there instead.

Hold on to your hats boys...

Amir is all class, very hard to hit this many runs off his bowling.

Do they not have hotspot? Snicko is not all that reliable... though he probably hit that.

Even if there was nothing on hotspot they seem to over turn just based on snicko anyway.
Blundell isn't a big hitter - he needs to feed Bruce.

I'm not that comfortable having DRS in place for caught behinds with no hotspot. They didn't even use snicko to begin with, acknowledging that the mic is in the stumps and liable to pick up lots of different noises. Now they've done a full 360 on that and only have snicko? What changed?

I think the selectors have had a mare
They didn't take the series seriously enough if they wanted to stay #1
This is what it comes down to. They've obviously decided they don't care about T20 cricket and will just use it to blood new players. It's really obvious what our top side is, and when we put that on the park we have very few weaknesses.
Is that the right approach? How seriously should we take T20 cricket? Personally I'd like to just see us play our top 11 every game, as watching 2nd stringers struggle against better players isn't much fun from a fans POV.

I agree. To overturn a decision you should really need snicko and hotspot.
