Black Caps v Ireland

[Donsteppa]

360/6 in the end. At one stage it looked like 380 might have even been on the cards, but consistently high scoring the whole way through the innings. Michael Bracewell once again finishes the innings with a not out.

Just checked Cricinfo

Ireland 3 down, caps dropping sitters and 98 off 12 overs. Could be a brutal loss from here

[nzzp]

Classic black craps.

Santner goes 6 1 1 W to start the next over.

Need to put pressure on the new man and pray

[Bones]

Fuck you Foster

[nzzp]

Last ball, 2 to tie...

[nzzp]

Ireland get a bye and fall 1 short.

Damn.

Sounded sloppy on Cricinfo

Edit: sloppy by the kiwis

Threw a dodgy feed on for the last 5 minutes and got to the stage where I assumed we'd lose. They had 5 off 3 remaining with 2 wickets and our field had just dropped a catch to go for 4. How do we score 360 and almost lose? To Ireland?

@Bones Foster.

So a convincing three - nil series thrashing of Ireland by one wicket, three wickets, and by one run...

And save Latham's blushes again.

We are not far off minnow status.

Yeah the Black Caps ‘depth’ is a contradiction in terms when good players aren’t there

Our rest and rotation policy assumes a depth that isn't there. And apparently gives the IPL franchises priority...

If not priority to IPL it's priority to the players having to rest after IPL

Just look at what Foster has done to the BC's resolve. Yuck.

This is a cricket thread @Bones

[Bones]

@MN5 it's a raging one at that. I was only glancing at the score and thought it must have been a ODI. Oops.

To be fair I’m watching more Rugby so it’s only fair you contribute to the threads on the summer game

[Bones]

Foster stops coaching and steps away from the limelight and the BCs crush it. Go figure

[No Quarter]

Well on the subject of coaches, the BCs would do well to move on from Stead as well
