Black Caps vs Bangles
-
Fantastic work @dogmeat I took a break to play in the yard with the boy at 2 down, came back to 8 down. Good times.
-
All out for 184. Another comfortable win. I don't know why the comms are always so hell bent on insisting the pitch is always great for batting - this one was by no means unplayable but it was holding up and providing a fair but of sideways movement, and the scores of each team indicate that.
Broom MOTM by miles. Very mature innings given he was losing partners on a regular basis.

It's Bangladesh
They've beaten us in 7 consecutive ODIs in Bangladesh. So I'm pretty happy we are still at least putting them away in our own back yard - they are a fairly handy ODI outfit.

Yeah. I was reminded of Sir Alex Ferguson's 'it's Spurs' quip. Probably what the aussies say about us

I wonder if Broom's innings was good enough to give him the #5 batting spot in tests..

Could he be the new broom that will sweep clean for our test side....

@ACT-Crusader
I think there needs to be a moratorium on these broom jokes. An amnesty for all up til now, and then suitable bans for any subsequent ones.A clean sweep as it were.
-
Far too many folks bristling at these jokes, only keeping loose tabs but has anyone flown off the handle?

I think our boy Paeks just made his first Dad joke

@Donsteppa but didn't you know that fast bowlers (145kph+) induce premature ejaculation from NZ cricket selectors. It must go in their eyes, because they seem to miss the fact that they often go for 8 runs an over.
They're so fast and intimidating. Doesn't matter that they leak runs like the Titanic takes in water.

@Damo I can't agree with such a sweeping statement.
My (uber crap) joke currently has 10 upvotes, so I don't think this topic should be brushed off so lightly.
Nothing will ever be funnier ( punnier ) than when Warnie was commentating and he got to say ' Bird to Root' when Jackson bowled to Joe.

Depends who we are playing next, so long as its 130kph trundlers you can pull off the front foot or spinners on non spinning tracks he should be fine.
Otherwise I'd rather see them go with the experient of Neesham there, Watling 6, Anderson (if he ever gets fit) at 7 & Santner at 8. Neesham played one solid innings v India & looked ok v the Aussie quicks.
Tho' in the real world a fit Neesham & Anderson together feels too unlikley
-
Neesh has a lot of class with the bat, and is not troubled by extra pace. I'd be happy to see him give the bowling away and focus on being our 5 in all forms of the game.
