It is crazy to be playing these games so early in spring and then making them night-time games. Forecast for Tauranga for 1 October is high of 18C and low of 8C and showers. Who is going to want to sit on a grass bank until past 10pm?
Doesn't matter. It's all about TV eyeballs = $$$

Feels weird to be watching cricket when it's pissing with rain and freezing where I am. Not complaining though, well apart from our disastrous start

And not a great start.
Just tuned in, what an abysmal start. Was it poor shot selection or just good bowling?
A bit of both. Conway charged and missed a straight one. Seifert didn't get underneath one. Chapman strangled. The current pair is going bloody well.

Man Robinson riding his luck but playing superbly in between drop catches

It's probably mostly just a talent thing, but sometimes it feels like we're out of date on how to play T20. Watching the Jamieson over, Head swung wildly at everything. A couple of terrible looking misses, 3 fours and a 2. Result: 14 runs. We seem content to work the ball around and only target a couple of boundaries in each over. When your 2-3 swings are hits, that's great as you get 15-20 runs off the over. When you miss 2 or 3 you only get 8.
