ICC T20 World Cup
-
I never doubted...
-
2 for 2. <br><br>
Loved that we've taken 19 wickets in our two games. -
Good old runs on the board aye<br><br>
Williamson doing well -
So we have beaten India and Aus in consecutive games. Fucking epic.<br><br>
Kane is a genius captain.<br><br>
Ish and Santner are in the form of their lives - so great to see after Dan retiring.<br><br>
Elliot did brilliantly to get us up to a defendable score, he's a handy player on pitches with no pace.<br><br>
I am a happy chappy

Will be interesting where OZ go with their batting lineup. Khawaja top scored but they have Finch in there as well.

<p>Indeed</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Picking Sodhi over Southee / Boult (even over Nmac) is a pretty good call. Prior to this cup Sodhi's played 4 T20's for NZ. I'm guessing he'll play a wee bit more.</p> -
Mitch MOTM. Fair enough. I never rated him previously but you can't deny his stats now, he's a genuine wicket taker.
-
Oh ye ... me ... of little faith.<br><br>
Kawaja making it look easy so switch to recording of the Canes. Then think ... ahhh I'm tired I'll watch the footy tomorrow. Stop that and first commentary I hear is "It's game on now ...". Smith just stumped.<br><br>
Woohoo. Go you good things.<br><br>
Always liked T20 ... -

Yup that was a key moment. Also fuck moving Warner down the order to accomodate washed up Watson. Warner should open every game, end of. -

Bowled exactly what was needed in these conditions. Has a decent slower ball that the Aussies didn't read so well. <br><br>
I guess they see this fired up sort of fella and think he'll come steaming in at 135-140. But he was bowling good slower balls 120 and below. -

This is hard with the Highlanders playing so well - missed another try. Up 27-0 now.<br><br>
Back on topic, going great guns. Keep it going lads.</p></blockquote>

Don't do that you idiot ... I've recorded it -

Excuse me, what?<br><br>
More like 3-4 years Craig.</p></blockquote>

12 months -
Interesting contrast. Dhoni post match: "Our batsmen got themselves out. It's all the batsmens fault" (paraphrasing). Smith post match: "Credit to the way the NZ bowlers bowled in the middle stages".<br><br>
I want to hate Smith because he's so fucking good but he isn't making it easy. -

<br>
Has his moments ... -
<p>Timmy and Trent rush back tot he nets to practice their cutters, slower balls and back of the hand deliveries because that's what gets Mitch and Milne the nod</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Milne was actually good today. He's quicker than most and that sets up his cutter from the side of his hand. The dramatic pace change. Those 2 he bowled to Maxwell (he's not so bright me thinks) were pretty much spot on but french cuts don't show up in stats (copyright MN5).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hats off Hesson and Kane.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Batting still needs more ones and twos in the middle and ultra energetic running, but I don't know what pitches are like in the next 2 games.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy times though</p>
