T20 Internationals. Nz v Aus

I only caught the first innings but thought Finch was superb the way he made sure he batted the innings and took his chances in the final over. That final over was the losing of the match for us, that was a big momentum swing and we were always going to struggle to chase it down on that pitch where all batsmen struggled with their timing.

@snowy and I were arguing about it (I was supporting southee, and feeling poorly about it)
Actually I was just trying to find a way to shoe horn Ferguson in, as I said, I like Southee but more so with a red ball and only at the start of the innings with a white ball.

Where is big Colin when you need him in full flight for 4 or 5 overs
Yeah I mentioned him as well when I was trying to see if we could fit some of the returning players back in.
Neesham is the most like for like I guess - notice that nobody has said that Neesham is shit (although his bowling can be very hitable at times) just suggesting that we might have other options.
Anyone know if they are putting in a different drop in pitch for tomorrow?

@snowy not sure if they are planning another pitch for tomorrow but if Met Service is correct then the series is already finished.
Bugger.
Probably just as well. A drawn series is better than a lost one....

I wouldn't go that far. Forecast seems to show rain in the morning but clearing.
Weird midday start, but maybe it will be fine by then.

I hope they aren't using the same pitch. If they r Kane is going to have to roll his arm over, along with anyone else that can bowl slow

@canefan Gavin Larsen, Chris Harris, et al to come out of retirement.
"Yes, with the five-match T20 series poised at 2-2 the batsmen will be nervous with the same patch of grass to be used after ground staff were dealt a tough hand of a hastily rescheduled three double-headers in five days."

@snowy draft in CDG, and anyone else who can bat well and bowl a bit
The Aussies will probably follow suit - Trevor Chappell has quite a successful "
slower" ball.
