Come on hamish, don't lose your shit now

[canefan]

Our closing down of the ball in the field is as lazy as our running between the stumps

[Donsteppa]

Finally a run out!!

[booboo]

We'll take it!!+

[LABCAT]

Finally we get a run out!

[Donsteppa]

And a runout off a misfield no less

[canefan]

Jimmy will claim he faked that misfield

[Donsteppa]

Big over coming up from Jimmah to Jadeja

[booboo]

But it's not over till Lizzo sings

In the words of Marcellus Wallace "Once you gone, you stay gone"

[Donsteppa]

Black Caps showed the full value of ‘you must make sure you bat your 50 overs’ today

[canefan]

I'd like them to practice run out throwing and Yorkers tomorrow

[Damo]

Run outs almost cost us today.

Both the wickets we lost when batting and the ones we missed in the field. I think we missed 4 or 5 in the field before finally getting one. Not good enough.

Jamieson looks like he might be the goods.

This thread is great reading now. The comms were talking about Eden Park being a weird place to play because sometimes 350+ gets chased down easily and other days 250 is too much.

Plenty of work ons but over all a pretty good performance. Middle order needs a long hard look at itself, and the bowlers were good until they let Saini get away from them.

Jadeja is a great cricketer. Just so good at every aspect of the game, and seems to thrive the more pressure there is.

Satisfying to win a series missing our best bat, and three best bowlers. Plus two more missing today and Timmy sick.

Criticism of Chapman a bit harsh I think. He's a part timer who was the last resort was never likely to bowl. If he becomes a regular black cap it will be as a top order bat.

[No Quarter]

Holy fuck I can't believe we won that game with a second strong bowling lineup. Incredible.

I agree. He might go on to have a good career, in his chances thus far he seems to have had stage fright.

It would have been a mistake to have him bowl tonight I think. Eden Park against India is not the time to have a part time inexperienced spinner bowling under pressure.

Having said that, I think Latham should have bowled Neesham a bit earlier than he did, because the way he managed the bowlers, he might have had to throw the ball to Chapman..
