I see that Neesham has been dropped by Otago, he’s going for 11 an over with the ball and averaging 6 with the bat in the BKSS.

Doubling down on the bad form.
A return to the BCs appears a long way off at this stage.
A bit of a strange decision really. Neesham is still an international cricketer and is bound to come off eventually in domestic cricket.

[No Quarter]

Doull again saying Kane and Rosco shouldn't play T20s as we need them to focus on ODIs and tests. Sorry what tests are you referring to Doull?!

[Virgil]

Based on the tour results to date I’m pretty confident we already have about 100 runs more then we need to comfortably win this

[No Quarter]

We're lacking a bit in mid to lower order hitters.

Yup from looking at 180-190 only a few overs ago now they will be lucky to reach 170

[Virgil]

Reverse jinx!!

[No Quarter]

This is a fuckin terrible over, costing them the game.

[Virgil]

25 runs from that 9 ball over.

It mostly all depends on Gayle anyway. He can get them home here. If he gets less than 30 then I can't see them winning

Quality wicket from Sodhi there.

So is Williamson injured???

I understand the need to rest sometime duringvthe year but not the fucking captain in the heightvof the fucking season. That'd be like restinga fit Read for the EOYT

Apologies for my profanity if he is injured, and if he is not, it's the most fucking ridiculous decision ever - he's the fucking captain!

[taniwharugby]

@siam pretty sure he is resting....

I've already ranted about resting Kane earlier in the thread. Ridiculous.

@taniwharugby thanks TR. Please look away while I do my fucken head in!!!!

[Bones]

@siam Wouldn't it be more like resting Read for a June test series?

[Siam]

@no-quarter I'm with you bro. I can't find a semblance, a smidgen of "sounds reasonable" for that decision.

Don't know but I'd bet the house that Kane would prefer playing

[No Quarter]

Another very non-competitve game, I really wanted to see them have a good go at this total. They have a very poor team though.

[Siam]

@bones yeah that's what I meant but rage mist configured against.

He's quoted as saying he won't know what to do with himself, and it will be hard watching from the sidelines. Hesson saying they're trying to ensure the top players don't get burnt out or something. Bowlers... yeah that might make sense. Batsmen just want to bat all day though.
