Not a good start to Grant Bradburns coaching career as an international coach, losing both 20/20s so far.
If anything, coaching Pakistan to wins over the Black Caps is a great audition after recent comments in NZ Cricket about having a specialist limited overs coach.

Yep true, fucked up the wording in my post trying to post on my Phone in a hurry.

Also, Bradburn coached Scotland for 4 years, including at a world cup. So, not the start of his career as an international coach.
That took me down a wikipedia rabbit hole, where from a quick perusal of when they last won stuff - I have concluded that Northern Districts have been crap since he left, apart from in T20.

ND has always lost so many multiple format players to the NZ team that they seldom have those players available when needed in red ball cricket. We saw what impact Santner had in some games.
Watling to the rescue next season.

NZ wins game 3 by 4 runs in a lower scoring game. It looks to be a better performance from the bowlers, particularly Sodhi.

That was a fantastic chase to watch. Every over the other side took back control.

Well done Neesham as well, Pak need 15 of the last over. Gets tonked for 10 off first 3 deliveries, then 3 dot balls including 2 wickets..nerves of steel

Or maybe Pakistan weren't supposed to win.

Another excellent performance by Chapman in his penultimate outing before being sent home and replaced, by that young & upcoming white-ball batting superstar Henry Nicholls, for the ODIs.

Caught that from the 13th over (Neesh on 15, not sure what Chapman was on).
But pretty much mistake free from there on, baring a couple of bruises for Neesh, a squeezed out yorker and Chapman's miscue for the ton.
Have been dubious previously but I see what they see in Chapman now. Those 3 x bdys v SSA in the 18th over oozed class, especially the 3rd (on-drive punch thing), all timing and for (what appears to be) a little fulla he's got some power.
