When Southee is in at 8 - you know we're ducked.
Just like that hes gone. For someone who's been a captain, christ he's irresponsible
No, thats having a go at the top-order. But he is irresponsible. Look at his body of work - for a senior player - surely he could should show some responsibility from time to time. We were never going to win tonight after that Agar over.

Boult left stranded.
Sodhi sold out the match winner.

You can't be seriously having a go at Southee there. 90 needed off of 30. What's he supposed to do?
Ah yes, much like an unwanted season you can always rely on the fern to have a go at Southees batting.....

Don't really pay attention. Comms said he averaged in the mid 40s during the domestic T20?

yep, he's been really good for Auckland. Classy player - ex Hong Kong international I think.

Yeah I've been disappointed he hasn't clicked for the black caps yet. He looks like he has the talent to succeed. Might be struggling with the stop-start nature of being a fringe BC and would benefit from an extended run to settle himself but we're relatively spoiled for batting depth at the moment.

Righto, late to the thread. Saw up to the last few overs last night, when it was apparent we wouldn't win.
I'm not as disappointed as others. This is a classy lineup from Aus, and it was one of those nights with luck just not going our way. Boult stands one pace differently, Finch gets an (apparently not plumb) LBW, and that game is a different beast. Once they got away, 210 looked a very very tough chase.
I still think Aus is weak in the batting, they are playing a lot of allrounders. Maybe not critical in T20, but pure batters should be better.
So overall, I wouldn't be calling for changes. Also, I've piled into Southee on many an occasion for his batting, but last night with 90 off 30 needed isn't the time to worry about him. We lost that game in the field, and to an outstanding spell from their young extra fast bowler.
So overlal, it's a loss, that's T20, get up and play again soon. Friday night the next one I think? I'm more worried about the Women - they played terribly (again) and fell apart (again)

True. T20 is one of things, prone to wild swings of fortune from game to game

On related note, Santner is ruled out of the game through illness, and the Black Caps go from winning well to badly thrashed.... but not a mention of Santner...

Over the last few years they seem to easily bully the teams ranked below them, but then they get badly bullied by the teams ranked above them...

Hey come on now, I was quite magnanimous in my praise of his last test performance

Maxwell is awesome to watch in full flight, a unique and entertaining player.
Finch will be feeling good today. She's a funny game cricket, sometimes all you need is a decent piece of luck and suddenly the ball magically starts finding the middle.
