Black Caps vs Bangles
-
Strange that Guptill always struggles to get contacts in the IPL. He's one of the best players going around in the short forms. I'd actually take him over Kane in T20s...

@Rapido First time seeing Bruce on TV tonight. He might have talent but he looked like a slogger in this format, and was very uncomfortable with the short ball. In comparison Clarkson was striking the ball so sweetly.
In Mitch we trust!
Yeah. He looked too leg side reliant, and trying to overhit everything.
Wonder if that was bowling plans base on a bit more knowledge.
Don't know enough.
But wasn't very impressive.His batting partner Young, who I've always rated, looked a better bet as he has scoring options 360 degrees. But even he was looking a bit scratchy.
Young, who I think is the best young uncapped bat in the country has had a poor start to the season (when the field is wide open) and assume he's not currently in close contention. He's not outperforming Nicholls. Plus he needs to sort out his flemesque conversion rate at this lower level before higher honours in the red ball stuff.

Whatever happens we'll hammer them in all forms and fans will get a false sense of where they stand in the cricketing world before being beaten into submission in a mid year overseas tour.
Classic 'rinse and repeat' Black Caps really!
We play both Aussie and SA at home this summer don't we? No need to wait to go overseas or for mid year

Damn. Can't move from couch. Christmas kittens have decided that my ample err waist is comfy place to sleep off breakfast ... have to stay here now. Would be rude to wake them.
Latham puts one over the rope and its 97 for 2 off 18.
Boxing Day test starting on the other channel...
