Hadlee-Chappell ODI 1.0 + 2.0 + dead rubber
-
our bowling just looked, Boult aside, so pedestrian.
Ferguson is genuinely quick, but seems to bowl back of a length at off stump, and fuck all else. Smith, marnus and Carey looked untroubled. And they got the run rate from "dead" to respectable with seemingly little effort. Then Green and Maxwell smacked them to a score that was always going to be difficult.
Allen and Conway actually started pretty well and looked positive. And then it fell in a hole. And the game ground to a halt as Kane especially, and latham and Mitchell just seemed unable to get it off the square. And then to make it worse they all got out.
That's 3 very average performances from everyone not named Trent Boult.

Stoinis, Finch, Davey, Maxwell and Marnus no great shakes for the Aussies. Unfortunately, Carey, Green and Smith came to the party when required.
All of their bowlers pretty decent.

I watched Carey bat twice and he looked very fucking good both times.
Abbott was very impressive as well.

Very Australian. Out rolls a newbie bowler who instantly looks like a worldbeater.

Boult was excellent. Henry was good.
The rest of the bowlers just not penetrative enough. Reminded me a bit of the days when we'd have Gav and Harry bowling in tandem - restricting runs but not looking like taking wickets.
the batting - well, Phillips nearly won the last one for us - if Abbot steps on the rope I think we need 33 from 24 and can pretty much just knock it around - though the ineptitude displayed by Lockie and Timmy means we couldn't afford to lose a wicket.
This series looks like the beginning of the end for Guppy. 36th birthday coming up and that was pretty much a dropping for the 3rd match.
Somehow, we need to adjust the balance of the team to include more specialists and fewer half-baked allrounders.
Not sure whether Little Kane has been worked out with all the IPL etc being played, or he's just not able to get the miles in with his elbow, but he's not the player he was. Teams finding it too easy to tie him up and tie him down.

No one does a bits and pieces all rounder quite like NZ. At least we seem to have jettisoned them from the test team but the ODI side is often chocka with them.
A “part rounder” as someone on here once wrote.

After that catch in the deep, Guppy is in "specialist fielder" territory

Well the fuck you bloody crowd like pointing out that Kapil Devs fielding on top of his other attributes made him far superior to Paddles, Imran and Beefy out of the four all rounders in the 80s.

Beefy was pretty decent in the slips, I recall?

Love Beefy. An absolute legend.
