When Southee is in at 8 - you know we're ducked.
Just like that hes gone. For someone who's been a captain, christ he's irresponsible
You can't be seriously having a go at Southee there. 90 needed off of 30. What's he supposed to do?
Ah yes, much like an unwanted season you can always rely on the fern to have a go at Southees batting.....

Neither of these guys showing any serious boundary striking power tonight.
again, again!
Edit: fuck. and, who the fuck is Mark Clapham?Plays for Auckland. Never showed much for NZ.
has he even showed much for AKLD?
Don't really pay attention. Comms said he averaged in the mid 40s during the domestic T20?

yep, he's been really good for Auckland. Classy player - ex Hong Kong international I think.

Yeah I've been disappointed he hasn't clicked for the black caps yet. He looks like he has the talent to succeed. Might be struggling with the stop-start nature of being a fringe BC and would benefit from an extended run to settle himself but we're relatively spoiled for batting depth at the moment.

Righto, late to the thread. Saw up to the last few overs last night, when it was apparent we wouldn't win.
I'm not as disappointed as others. This is a classy lineup from Aus, and it was one of those nights with luck just not going our way. Boult stands one pace differently, Finch gets an (apparently not plumb) LBW, and that game is a different beast. Once they got away, 210 looked a very very tough chase.
I still think Aus is weak in the batting, they are playing a lot of allrounders. Maybe not critical in T20, but pure batters should be better.
So overall, I wouldn't be calling for changes. Also, I've piled into Southee on many an occasion for his batting, but last night with 90 off 30 needed isn't the time to worry about him. We lost that game in the field, and to an outstanding spell from their young extra fast bowler.
So overlal, it's a loss, that's T20, get up and play again soon. Friday night the next one I think? I'm more worried about the Women - they played terribly (again) and fell apart (again)

True. T20 is one of things, prone to wild swings of fortune from game to game

On related note, Santner is ruled out of the game through illness, and the Black Caps go from winning well to badly thrashed.... but not a mention of Santner...

Over the last few years they seem to easily bully the teams ranked below them, but then they get badly bullied by the teams ranked above them...

Hey come on now, I was quite magnanimous in my praise of his last test performance

Maxwell is awesome to watch in full flight, a unique and entertaining player.
Finch will be feeling good today. She's a funny game cricket, sometimes all you need is a decent piece of luck and suddenly the ball magically starts finding the middle.

To be fair the Aussies have come prepared for him. They know he gets steep bounce and that bowled and lbw are out of play for most balls.
Jamieson.
I haven't yet read all of the thread after last nights match but the comms said that he has very high % for those dismissals. Where did you get that from?It seems logical but it doesn't appear to be true. With his stock ball it might be (as you said - most balls) but his dismissal balls are the opposite - that is why it works.
He has a long way to go in white ball cricket it seems, but he seems to have the work ethic to achieve.

He did well in ODIs. I agree, he'll get it

@snowy on another night last night he could have had 3-4 wickets. Bowled much better than the first two I reckon, despite getting some tap.
For sure. He was seriously unlucky, the extra bounce did cause some issues and the top edges did come, they just went frustratingly into the space between fielders.
I was getting at the assertion that bowled and LBW aren't a mode of dismissal for him. The stats disagree according to the TB guys and gals. He will be good at all forms I think, just needs a bit of time.
Someone mentioned Lockie earlier, any ideas when he might be back? Meredith did some damage last night and I want to see us match that - variation and all.
How about news on CDG? He would have given us a bowling option rather than the shit that Jimmy is (as a bowler, I'd still have him in the team, he is a part timer, not 4 overs).
Lockie, CDG, Santner (despite the shit he gets on here is a seriously good white ball cricketer). Add Milne in and we have some depth.
The coaches in the early days of T20 were correct it seems - specialist players.

Back playing for ND, but only as a batsmen. He was out first ball yesterday.
