why would you be backing up, when you are mostly watching boundaries soar over your head?
Because you have no intention of facing a ball?

What a choke, how could Australia lose with only 7 to get and 3 overs remaining. Useless

@Donsteppa said in Chappell-Hadlee:
Man of the match for Stoinis surely.
Big questions for the Black Caps on the last hour and a half.
As if there's any doubt.
What a match.

Last ball of the over,

@Donsteppa ah I thought there was another ball.

That innings was really something else. Had never heard of the guy beforehand and his domestic stats aren't that amazing. The way he protected Hazelwood was incredible.
Genuinely gutted for him. He's certainly no Brad Haddin.
One of those games where it coulda easily been a loss a from that perspective the BCs really pulled finger although fuck me dead there was some appalling bowling there ( not taking anything away from Stoinis )

I'm actually gutted for Stoinis. That innings deserved to win a game, just amazing for a guy batting at 7 to score a quarter of the game's runs. It was 5-54 when he came out, he heads back at all out 280. Incredible.
Massive questions need to be asked about Kane as a captain, and the selectors assuming Neesham and Munro were a viable 5th bowler.
This game sort of showed our serious weakness. We have guys that can bat. And we have guys that can bowl. But we don't have guys that can do both to the required standard. Our side is always going to be unbalanced. We needed every batsman today, but that lack of the 5th bowler nearly lost us an unloseable game

I'd love to know what Kane had planned for the final 2 overs if it got to that....

Every cricketer has bad days at the office but Neesham was pretty awful. Other options should have been used more.
Our batting always looks vulnerable if KW or Taylor don't score big as well ( both got frustrating starts and didnt go on )

I think cricket ( well any sport really ) needs to realise that the best player isn't always best choice for captain. However in this BCs line up there's nil to fuck all other options given that Hesson would probably saw his own nuts off rather than ask Ross Taylor.

I don't think Taylor would be any better, and a captain is only as good as his cattle.

Fuck off with disappointed /unhappy we won shit. @Mokey @Hooroo and @anyoneelse ...
It's Straya.
We gave them a sniff. They thought they had it and we whipped it from under their noses. And partly due to their own fuck up by the sounds. Ha fucking ha. Makes it sweeter.
Do you think they'd be gutted for us?
Two words: Haddin and Brad.

In the old days Halewood would get an absolute fucking roasting in the sheds. Wonder if that still happens - prolly not
We would have lost that game but for Hazelwoods help. Nearly got Stones run out, turned down an easy 2 and then gave up the last wicket when he would have been better served just sitting down at long off.
but what a brilliant innings that was from Stoinis.
Hope the win doesn't paper over the cracks, but for a long part of that game Kane and his boys did enough to warrant a victory.
Latham was excellent behind the stumps. We lost Ranchi setting the fielding standards in Oz. BJ was too quiet and too sloppy with returns and tidying up (something that Luke does very well. Latham today was vocal and energetic and took all the half volleys and those are the little things that non cricket people (like MN5
) don't seer understand - a wee bit like the value of an opensider running the right lines - perhaps not obvious but bloody important for the team to gel in the field. One of the reasons Luke kept getting the job despite his runs or lack thereofLatham was very good today, I was a little surprised and very impressed, well done that man
edit - fuck off Apple predictive text - I knoe what I watn too rite!

The thing to love most about @booboo's Kiwi bitterness, is how well its been honed in Queensland aka victim country.

No, you play the same 6-ball overs as the rest of the world.
Its your rugby 7s team that has an extra count
