NZ v Pakistan 2022/23
-
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.
-
Chapman averages 290 this series
-
Think we've found our new guy to come in for Kane's injury
-
- Finn Allan
- Devon Conway
- Tom Latham
- Daryl Mitchell
- Mark Chapman
- Glenn Phillips
- Jimmy Neesham
- Michael Bracewell
- Matt Henry
- Adam Milne
- 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
-
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.

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.

Fair - but that is what performing does; it puts you on people's radar.

He may still be considered for the WC if nobody else puts their hand up. That's the problem with picking the two squads prior to the tour commencing. It leaves no wiggle room to accommodate players who stand out. Is it fair to now drop a player from ODI squad so they can include Chapman? I don't know.

I just read that myself. Sensible decision in the end, and they didn't end up having to drop someone else from the tour to do it.

Well, he did drop KW as captain which seems to have worked from a batting perspective

Me too. But to be fair he deserved the scepticism based on his play
-
Well done Chapman and Neesham and although he didn't play today, I think Matt Henry deserves a mention too for another one who has really stood up as a senior bowler when no one was really expecting it.
Best part about this is that it is in the sub continent.

Wow! I am totally surprised that they kept him on tour, right after I said they weren't flexible enough to do that.
Very happy to be proven wrong!
