@gollum It was a mercy killing. Probably should have batted Ronchi at five since Coriander Son isn't exactly in form either.
Luke Ronchi is a fluffybunny who needs to fuck right off. He is well past his use-by date. He brings nothing, and everytime we need him to be reliable the do the right thing, he fucks it up. Every fuckin' time.
I went early on Southee last time, but christ, get him in there.

Can Devcich go bananas? does he open in T20 for some one.
This is a bloody capitulation. We should've made 300 ffs. -
@westcoastie I'm gonna say no.

@Bones this is fuckin' ridiculous. Boy have we been found out on this tour. Bring back BMac
Time to clean out some chaff and find us the following:
a solid, skillful opening batsman (we don't need rip/shit and bust, we need to bat solid)
a Williamson clone.
a wicket keeper.
actual wicket taking bowlers - wheres Milne and McClenaghan?its going to be some lean years...

Yeah cause his 30 off 15 balls would have made all the difference...
And to get it we would have dropped Latham. If Baz is there Lathams not.

Wow. If it weren't for Kane, and his back up Latham, that would be a very, very sad scoreboard. What the fuck is up with Guptill and Taylor? And our middle order sucks. Santner used to be good for 30 odd runs, but he isn't adding much lately either. After some decent form in the tests, Ronchi has gone back to shit. And if Anderson isn't bowling, he shouldn't be in as a batsman.
No pressure Henry and Boult, but help us. You're our only hope.

Great result, and even greater to have Boult back to 100% fitness and bowling quick, I was very worried he would go down as yet another NZ bowler whose career was curtailed by injury. Credit to the medical team for the way they've worked him back to full pace without doing any further damage.
Kane, what can you say, legend. 8th ODI ton and has been out in the 90s six times. No doubt he will overtake everyone in that stat... in saying that Rosco's ODI record is bloody formidable. What the hell has happened to him? I thought the Zimbabwe tour was a great way to get confidence into a confidence player but his form has fallen off a cliff since, to the point he plain looks out of his depth now - that over leading up to his dismissal was tough to watch.
Defending 242 is a hell of an effort, especially after a tough tour so far. Now, if we could just win the bloody toss in the next couple of games we can put this series to bed...

Well, them and Obi Wan Kenobi, Princess.
Surely you mean Obi Wan Kaneobi...
-
Oh, and credit to @westcoastie for the work he did completely writing us off to ensure we pulled out a good performance. Well played sir.

No. Just, no
