Henry Nicholls' Day!

More of the same shit from our top order I see, only difference this time is we haven’t had someone stick their neck out above the mediocrity and save the day.
Our batting largely has been fucking terrible in 2018, too many guys are going missing
-
We've got the batting lineup all wrong today. Chapman was too high, Nicholls too low, CdG ahead of the in-form Santner means we don't have him to hit at the end of the innings. Poor dismissals and poor tactics, very disappointing.
-
Is this pitch as good as the comms are making out? It seems to be a bit slow, taking some turn and although our guys played some ordinary shots to get out, miss timed miss hits might be more to do with the surface?
I know that I left some straws lying around here somewhere, I was clutching at them earlier.

It's futile mate, we're gone

Pitch might not be worth 300+ but it ain't as bad as we've shown. Right decision to bowl first and let the other team figure it out.
In my view we do need to go for 250 from here and risk being all our for 180 rather than limping to 220.

Munro made a pretty lucky 49 and 7 runs in his other four innings.
Chapman 9 runs in 3 innings.
CdGh - two mediocre scores, three failures.
On the other side of the equation - Rossco has been excellent and Santner has exceeded expectations.
Kane one good score, but a couple of failures - good, but not as good as we needed.
Guptill and Latham have contributed, both averaging about 30 so probably pass marks - Latham moreso than Guppy.
Nicholls - SFA before today - but, redemption is at hand!

Apparently he is blind, so yes his batting is remarkable.
The great thing about expectations with the teams that I follow (mentioned above) - I don't have any (of winning anyway).

I've been too generous with Guppy - he's only averaged 22.6 for the series - not good enough for any opener or him!
@Snowy - Santner is currently averaging 173 for the series - don't mess with his eyes (implant a catching gene)!
@Gunner - Nicholls' ODI record is better than you'd think in the general NZ scheme of things.

I don't think this pitch is as good as the comms are making out (they seem to pretty much always claim the pitch is perfect no matter what).
270 is probably par, so we're well below that. Will need early wickets to have a chance.

Would you like to borrow some straws? We haven't really managed that for a while and it was our modus operandi to generate wins.
