Black Caps in India
-
Latham is becoming mr dependable when it comes to getting a start. Need him to go on with it now.
Was going to say something about Rosco but don't want to jinx him...
-
Bugger - was hoping Tommy and Rossco would stay together until at least over 35 and provide a license for our hitters.
This looks like a very good batting pitch - I think we'll need at least 300 and we might be a spinner or two short on it.
Kane might have to do some bowling - not sure about Guppy - I think the Indian video analysts might have worked him out!
-
That was a very good delivery that got Rosco, dipped and turned a mile. I think he was entitled to at least stay in his crease though...
Bloody Cory gets out to a juicy full toss from the part timer... unforgivable...
-
FUCKING LUKE RONCHI. that is all.
-
Fuck you've got Dhoni, whose main trick as a keeper is lightening fast stumping's, and Ronchi plays a simple forward defensive shot outside of the crease? Batting 101... when you are playing a spinner stay in your fucking crease unless you are charging to get to the pitch of the ball...
-
What was Ronchi even doing that far down the crest. Holy hell.
Bring back Tony Blain. -
Actually, add Corey Anderson to that. Hes become very Shane Watson like. as in fucking useless. Has he done anything since that super fast century?

Second on this list, Coastie! That's not much help if he can't bowl though!

Its because Ronchi is fuckin' stupid!
-
Lucky we have batting allrounder Southee out there now to smack out a ton...
-
I would settle for them blocking and taking singles, and putting the half dozen bad balls away from here on out and we might scratch out another 40 runs.
-
Yet again our middle order adds 5/8 of fuck all. Taylor at least got 44 today, but after him, Anderson 6, Ronchi 1, Santner 7, Southee 13.
FUCKING FUCKING SHIT. Can't one fucking person stick around and not be a dumb fuck and get out to a fucking part-part timer??
There are 10 overs to go, we only have 2 wickets in hand, and we're barely over 200 runs.
FUCK.

To be fair Neesham is still in, and batting how I would expect all of the above can and should do.
We don't need to blast every 2nd ball, we should understand we need to build a score and it seems pretty obvious that you can afford to be patient.Ronchi absolutely should get dropped - this is three woeful bats in a row, and I'd back Watling to get 45 off 60. That lets Southee Henry Boult tee off and make up the deficit run rate wise.
Anderson must be close to making way also. Is Nicholls touring?

Maybe Latham should keep in the ODIs
He really needs to. Big problem with our team is that we don't really have a batting all rounder. If Latham keeps then we can have a batsman at 5, Anderson at 6, Neesham at 7 and Santner at 8 followed by three bowlers. If you have a keeper in there, then Anderson has to bat 5. Right now our middle order is struggling because Anderson is batting at 5 and he isn't up to doing that. Ronchi also shouldn't be there at all going forward (I can see why you would want him in India). The selectors are sticking with Devcich because they realise they need a batting all rounder but he just doesn't seem to be up to the task.
