1st T20 New Zealand v Australia Feb 21 1640hrs @ the Basin Reserve

[TheGreatBarryB]

Tim David's 2024 has been 140 runs of 60 balls without being dismissed. From 4 innings.

Should come in before Inglis

 

[Joffaboy]

We were missing Williamson, Mitchell and Boult from our best T20 side, they are all bigger losses for us than Wade.

The NZ team is first class but the crowds are absolute flogs

I've found NZ sports fans in general are very floggy when it comes to their national teams. Had the misfortune of being at a bar for dinner with my wife in Dunedin once when All Blacks were playing Wallabies, being from a non rugby state I had no idea they were playing (my bad) or could name a single player, said as much to a few of them who picked up on accent but they kept carrying on to us while we tried to eat dinner. Even the bar guy was a flog about it. Although think they secretly hate the fact basically no one in Australia gives a * about union.

Warner and Inglis... Out to crap bowling.

Right on time no umpires to blame so its players missing hahaha,none of your teams ever get beaten fairly.

You can't complain about missing players when they are not injured and available

You understand that your place in the cricketing world is minnows whose role is being curb stomped by us?

 

[Saint12]

I am sometimes amazed they don't beat us a bit more often when it at least comes to the non World Cup white ball matches.

These games are like little World Cup finals for them

Those commentators... their accents make my ears bleed.

Hopefully he can continue to build on this

Bloody oath they are.

Especially over there on their suburban backyard sized grounds they're used to. We weren't bad at it tonight but often frustratingly we go over there and don't realise until too late you can just miss hit the * out of it and its going 10 rows deep.

Yes, they don't understand that for Australia, playing England is where it's at. The rest, well maybe excluding India now, are just fill-ins until Ashes roll around again.

Are they playing for the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy in the white ball format now, because they would never win it playing test matches?

 

[Gak Attack]

Can't believe we're still going to play Smith in a IT20.

The laidback tag that New Zealanders have has never really rang true to me and especially for most of their sports fans.

I would rather be surrounded by a bunch of England fans at a game than Kiwis


I can't find it right now but when the Breakers won their first title they had a banner at the parade that said "thanks for beating the Aussies". It's a very weird one way obsession

 

[yabsy]

Southee should have bowled that last ball underarm.

Wouldn't of mattered, only a four was required

Good point, didn't think about it when they brought up the name but now it's an ODI and T20 trophy I guess lol

Chappell-Hadlee to become white-ball trophy

Expect to see the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy on the line much more regularly in the future – beginning with this week’s KFC T20I Series in New Zealand.

Bloody hell dude you really drew the short straw.

NZ and the Saints, both of whom have won a massive load of SFA.

No wonder your arse is in a permanent state of red soreness.

It took you until the last ball to beat us with a misfield from Phillips, you got a lucky win tonight and there are still two more games to go.

I wouldn't be getting too cocky just yet.

Our bowling is going to be a problem in T20i when we don’t have specific T20 bowlers as our front line. We give up a lot of runs. Honestly I wouldn’t play Hazelwood he’s to predictable. Spencer or Ellis for him. Starc of the top 3 is the only lock for me.

In honour of Southee's performance tonight we are going to pick up his match fee

If you are going to drop one of the bowlers it would have to be Cummins
