NZ v Pakistan 2022/23

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.

@Rapido good to see him succeed. He's grabbed his opportunity, clearly our best batsman so far this series

[Bovidae]

Chapman has certainly been the big winner in Pakistan, and Young has flopped. Some bizarre selection decisions for the T20i and ODI teams.

[booboo]

Entertaining last few overs from Neesh and Chapman.

NZ in with a shout needing 28 off 18.

[booboo]

Chapman ... nearly fluffs his lines. Skies it into gap to get 100 ...

[Squirrel]

Wow, first 100 in ten years chasing in T20s for a black cap

[MajorRage]

Turned on at 4-2 after the first over.

Chapman completely 180’d the game. We looked buried.

[booboo]

3 to win off last over ...

... Queenstown anyone?

[MajorRage]

Not that we’ve won yet ….

Ok we have now.

Huge shout out to Neesham too. 121 partnership.

[booboo]

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.

[nzzp]

Watched the first 10 overs, then the last 5.

Surprisingly good turnaround on a high scoring ground. Chapman looked class all series, has really grabbed his chance. Surely will look for an ODI spot now? Sodhi managed to get some tight overs in. Milne's first was excellent ... generally a bloody good result ot draw a series in Pakistan.

[Yeahtheboys]

Chapman averages 290 this series

[Yeahtheboys]

Think we've found our new guy to come in for Kane's injury

[Yeahtheboys]

1. Finn Allan
2. Devon Conway
3. Tom Latham
4. Daryl Mitchell
5. Mark Chapman
6. Glenn Phillips
7. Jimmy Neesham
8. Michael Bracewell
9. Matt Henry
10. Adam Milne
11. Trent Boult

My world cup squad

Stacked batting lineup as conditions will see high scoring games

Finn Allan worth the risk since its so batting friendly. We may need a knock of 100 off 50 to win a game and thats him

[LABCAT]

Chapman is not even in the ODI squad for the series starting on Saturday. Given that our selectors aren't flexible enough to change their minds at the last minute, it's highly unlikely he has any chance of making the world cup squad.

[Darren]

Amazing from Chapman

Criminal he is not in the ODI squad

[Bovidae]

Let's see how many runs the ODI batsmen can score without Chapman. Young has done nothing in the T20s to deserve continued selection.

[Crazy Horse]

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I don't recall anyone questioning Chapman's exclusion from the ODI team prior to this tour. I do recall some people wondering why he keeps getting selected however.
