T20 Internationals. Nz v Aus

[Damo]

Totally predictable. KJ should have bowled out earlier.

If we lose a close one, that will be the reason.

[Mokey]

I love Kane, but on what planet is giving your weakest bowler who is struggling big time the final over when of course the Aussie will have a go, a good plan??

@no-quarter said in T20 Internationals. Nz v Aus:

We're killing Jamiesons confidence by playing him in a game that is tailor made for batsmen to dominate bowlers, especially green bowlers like him.

Not just bowling him but when they bowl him.

In a power play the other day.

This time against a set batsman in the final over....

[Gunner]

Nervy looking start from our openers

[KiwiMurph]

Seifert has done fuck all this series.

Looks out of his depth against these guys.

[Gunner]

I’m a bit worried that we’ve only hit the middle of the bat maybe twice in 4 overs...

And too many dot balls, got to keep the score ticking over on a tricky pitch like this.

[Gunner]

That is piss weak from Guptill, fucked around for 4 overs, then hits it in the air straight down deep covers throat.

[Donsteppa]

This would be an okay runrate if it was the start of an ODI. Otherwise...

[Donsteppa]

Siefert making a last minute case to be included in the squad for Lords.

[Gunner]

There’s being conservative and then there is being conservative...

Fuck sakes 25/1 from the power play.

Run rate up to 9.42, that’s massive on this pitch, and we have to sustain it for 14 overs!!!

[Donsteppa]

About as much intent as the Chiefs defensive line...

[Gunner]

You know things are bad when Sumo says ‘singles starting to flow here’ after 3 consecutive singles.

It’s a T20, let’s see a few shots in anger

[Donsteppa]

Gripping stuff.

If it was 1992.

[KiwiMurph]

Please play Finn Allen next game.

Not gonna happen. Cricket selectors these days are more loyal than Steve Hansen

[Gunner]

I can’t believe they’re just letting this game drift away.

At least give yourselves a chance and go down swinging.

[KiwiMurph]

@gunner the run rate isn't out of control yet but one of these 2 needs to be there near the end

[Gunner]

@kiwimurph I reckon it is on this pitch.

Almost half way through our overs and were flat out going at 4’s, let alone 10’s.

We’re fucked.

[KiwiMurph]

@gunner fair call.

Again - I question why Williamson is an auto pick in T20s...

Interesting point. Perhaps the selectors need to make the harsh call ?
