[LABCAT]

That's a long tail, the batters better do their job in this game.

[Bones]

When did Inzy make a comeback?

[KiwiMurph]

Conway's stellar form continues

[nzzp]

Finn Allen! 6444 that's sweet. we needed that bigly

[nzzp]

And then 6! Still a ball to go, 24 from the over

[Chris]

Exactly what I was saying the other day about Conway no footwork and hands to far away from his body,
Ballance is no where.

[Damo]

Don't bowl full at Eden Park. Especially don't bowl slow half volleys.

Dig it in and use the bounce and make the batsman hit the big boundaries square.

[Bones]

Allen was doing such a good job of saving the wicket keeper from all those pies. What a great guy, looking out for the opposition's health.

[KiwiMurph]

T20s at postage stamp sized grounds are better than T20s at gigantic grounds like the G.

[Damo]

That's out. Surely.

[KiwiMurph]

Haha DRS modelling is such horse shit

[Damo]

I don't believe that. I reckon that was crashing into middle and leg about 3/4 of the way up.

There's been heaps of bounce.

[KiwiMurph]

Pakistan carried their catching form over the Ta$man

[Rapido]

Will Conway still be in the team by the 5th T20? Straight after which is the first test v SAF.

I realize there 's a T20 world cup in 6 months. And they need to sort out the team, but selecting an obviously completely shot player was poor.

But then the alternative would be Ravindra who is being rested because he's been on the road for 6 months? .... hmmm

[nzzp]

@Rapido 5 T20? FFS

That gave me a bit of start too. Are we really playing 5 T20's?

5 T20's an ODI's or Tests it seems. I guess that is the way of the world but I would have preferred a mix of games.

[Damo]

That no-ball that Finn Allen was bowled off was so big it might have been that the decreased distance affected his missing the ball.
