347/4. Piece of cake. Lol I can't even type that with a straight face.
May I ask what the FARK Bennett is doing in this team? Seriously? BENNETT??? Also, for the senior bowler, Southee was entirely too expensive. Only bowler with a not terrible return was CdG.
Southee is kak in limited overs. Has been for a long time. He's a test bowler only now.

Hes barely even that. Hes supposed to be a strike bowler - I read somewhere he didn't take any wickets within the first 200 runs in any innings.
Time to retire Tim. -
@Chris-B So negative!
355 looks the number.
I predict we will start out ok, a little slow, but ok. A quick couple of wickets will see all our eggs with Rosco, who will score 42 from 51 then get out to a mistimed shot played across his pads. Middle order will show some fight and Southee and Santner will score 25 each to get us though to a very respectable 225, a mere 125 runs short of a famous victory.

This may be quite prophetic at present...bright start, which means we'll lose three in the next 10...

Time to retire Tim.Frustrating, as he had massive upside. I just feel he was a guy who could have done so much better if he worked harder on bowling and batting.

Don't get me started.
Southee had a shit attitude towards batting, like clearly never made the effort to actually work on it, or severely lacked the mental application to give enough of a shit.
He was bowling 105-110kph at the end of the T20's and I heard Radio Sport have the balls to say the reason CDG didn't bowl in the T20s was because he was too slow and hittable.
So disappointing that Jordie Barrett actually appeals as a better option. -
Liking the conservation of wickets, but these guys need to start making hay. We need to be up around 180-200 after 30ish overs.

@westcoastie 180 after 30 would be plenty, and we are on track for thatbat 58 after 10

This would be a great start if we were setting a total...

Yep - Macca just outlining the exact strategy. Turn it into a T20 if we can.
Pretty harsh to put the boot into Timmy's bowling career. He's pretty much made the most of what he's got. Given the start he had to his test batting career, his batting stats have been a bit disappointing.
But, he's getting to the stage of being a squaddie in all forms.
Boult, Wagner, Ferguson in tests.
Boult, Ferguson, Henry in ODIs.
Boult, Ferguson and someone (probably still Tim) in T20s. -

@Hooroo could be
️. I've been running with The Park Cricketer, but no doubt there is a better name/accronym our there somewhere!@voodoo said in Indian Cricket Tour of NZ 2020:

First wicket... should be due to lose a couple more and then have the wheels fall off.

One more and we're fucked. Don't want to be negative, but it feels like we've seen this before...

That was a beautiful piece of bowling and keeping
Blundell was out by miles.

Still though, no more wickets, score 50 in the next 11. Leaves us 190 off 20. Nicholls and Taylor should be set.
But we'll see I guess.
