England vs BCs ODI series

Haha - some of you b'stards did not deserve Santner to do that for you!
That's a very valuable outcome for us, since it will give the top order a bit more confidence in the tail and the tail a bit more confidence in themselves.
Excellent innings by Rossco, Latham and Satnav - slight pity that Ross didn't have a bit more confidence in Santner, because I didn't think it had reached the point where he needed to try dancing down to Rashid.

Maybe Satner should have told Ross his plan!

That was fair criticism, in the end Satner and Southee played how he suggested. Styris was thinking a bit more conservative
No it wasnt. Criticise his innings.... sure. But to criticise the hitting power of our lower order compared to England was silly. Both are powerful with the ability to succeed or fail in spectacular fashion

Except theirs had been more reliable of late.

Funny that I heard Nasser's comment and thought it was about right. I quite like him as a commentator

We've got ourselves into a winning position now, so picking a comfortable loss in the end.

Not really. It is a very hard thing thing to judge.

WTF has Nicholls ever done? I'm not sure why he's in the team
He has done heaps. Some great innings against big attacks. Deserves to be there over a bits and pieces all rounder.
Heaps?
Yea, na!Like I said earlier, the odd 50 with a lot of nothing in between.
Averaging 38 at strike rate of 90, with 5 50s from 20 innings (in ODIs), so one in four, and would probably have converted one or two of these into a ton but for running out of overs since he bats so low. Plus crushes it whenever he goes back to domestic level.
He averages 35 now.. His average is inflated by having 6 not outs out of 21..
He's definitely done enough not to get dropped though..
Personally, Nicholls just looks really scratchy in most of his innings.. Even when he gets to 50, it like he just barely survived to get there.. But thats just my impression..If you want someone who crushes it at (ODI) domestic level, then Chapman is an option.. Better average, better strike rate, and more tons in less innings..
If we are running Kane/Taylor/Latham at 3/4/5, then I'd prefer someone like Chapman to come in at 6.. -
Taylor really has had a fine career. Well played that man.
Have a feeling that if he had been born 10 years later, he would have been a huge hit in the IPL, made much more money and possibly not even have played a test - he was a magnificent 6 hitter as a young man. Grafted like buggery to craft himself into an excellent test and ODI batsman.
Over 6000 test runs at 48
Over 7000 ODI runs at 45Santner's a lugubrious cricketer who can look bloody awful at times but he can hit a big ball ....

@booboo @Chris-B these blokes that come in after the fact and start critiquing the brave Ferners that put their balls on the line by posting in the heat of the moment are just the worst type of posters.
Yep. Hate them.
