T20 Internationals. Nz v Aus

[Siam]

2021

Apparently these 2 teams haven't played each other in t20 since feb 2018.

Weather in chch today?

[Gunner]

This series will give us an indication if we’re a chance in the T20 WC.

I know this is our ‘worst’ format, but with the team we have I expect we should do well.

[Siam]

@gunner 20/20 results are fickle though aren't they?

We could conceivably lose all these games and it'd count very little come day one of the world cup.

I can never get too excited about t20 results at any time

Not a lot dissimilar to rugby 7s, once there's a minimum standard of talented personnel

[Donsteppa]

Guppy continues to survive on reputation alone.

[Canes4life]

@donsteppa NZ should open up with Allen and Conway.

What dirt has he got on the coach? Or am I giving Stead too much credit?

[Donsteppa]

Clearly domestic T20 form counts for little with Stead.

[Mokey]

Guptill is way past his best, time for a young one to step up. Far out we look ragged as hell against Aussie pace.

[Siam]

There are some damning stats about teams losing 3 wickets in the powerplay, so I'm thinking we're fucked

I know this isn't the same team, but anyone who wants us to play Australia in the WTC is mad

[KiwiMurph]

Warner on commentary here in Aus. What muppet thought that was a good idea?

[Damo]

Probably going to put he curse on him....

Conway looks to the manor born doesn't he?

[Siam]

@kiwimurph did you catch his outrage at Conway not having his shirt tucked in?

"That's a big no no for me. There are some things you can't do and that's one of them..."

While every non aussie viewer imagined a different "big no no"

[Mokey]

I would also like to lodge a protest at the Aussie uniform. What the fuck are they doing in black.

Pretty irrelevant given approximately 10 of the guys playing tonight won’t be there.

A very French tactic

Pretty relevant, given our recent history against any Australian cricket team.

Given the shits and giggle nature of this format I stand by my point and the fact the ‘black craps’ are well and truly a remnant of the past.

[canefan]

Conway and Phillips heating up. Conway is class

Given the last Test series between these two sides, with similar personnel in both sides to now, I'd prefer India or England any day of the week.

(Especially if Stead drops Southee again to open the bowling with CdG and Henry.)

Meantime this game is looking more competitive.
