West Indies tour of NZ

[MN5]

Extremely tough chance shelled. They ran two.

12 needed from a couple now......

[MN5]

Bugger. Dot ball. Good effort Windies, always competitive in this form of the game as @Virgil says.

[Cyclops]

Honestly, we're a terrible T20 side at this point. We're not aggressive enough and also not that good.

[Gunner]

Batting first tonight.

45/0 from 5.

I’ve liked the look of Robinson in his short time in the team. Seems to have the power of Finn Allen, but plays more genuine cricket strokes with less risk, rather than being an out and out hell for leather hitter.

[Donsteppa]

With Conway 14* off 19 in that start too

[Gunner]

Conway looks to be really out of form. Playing and missing or finding the edge a lot, hitting to the fielders when he does get one.

[Donsteppa]

They've done us a favour getting Conway out.

[Gunner]

Conway misses one too many, stumps knocked over.

Probably best for the team, coz there’s been way to many dot balls with him there.

[Gunner]

59/1
Just 14 runs from the last 18 balls

[Gunner]

59/2

2/14 from the last 20 balls.

[Gunner]

Finally a boundary, the first in almost 5 overs.

[Gunner]

30 runs from the last 6 overs, where’s the intent and urgency?

Are our batters all out of form or do we just suck at T20… both I suspect.

[Gunner]

Finally. 6, 6, 4 from Chapman.
Where has this been?

Edit make that 6, 6, 4, 6

[Gunner]

Ravindra trying to join in, and gone.

He had to go big or go out though to be fair… wasted 15 balls for his 11.

[Bovidae]

Tim Seifert is a big loss in the batting order. You might as well open with Hay given Conway's form.

[Gunner]

Wow Chapman has raced to 50 from just 19 balls.
He really seemed to struggle for his first 12-15 runs, gone nuts since.

Think he went from something like 12 off 11 then notched up 50 in 19 balls!

[Gunner]

Chapman goes with a game changing 78 from 28.

Need one of the middle order to cash in and put the icing on it.

[Gunner]

207/5, a good total in the end.

I think we were 70 or so after 10, so bloody impressive to score 130+ in the last 10.

Mitchell & Santner finished the innings well after Chapmans fireworks.

[No Quarter]

I remember them saying Santner was the biggest hitter in the team a long time ago which surprised me. Seems he's finally realising some of that potential, he's been belting it around lately
