That's the biggie. Stoinis just doesn't deliver much like the other two. So Marnus plays unless we need the bowling and it actually looks like we do.

We should have played him instead of Henry who had a shocker.
We also should have played Sodhi instead of Ferguson who went off injured after 3 overs and was getting carted as well.
Thanks Captain Hindsight !

He’s not much better. Henry bowled bad but he’s had a fantastic WC. Southee comes in next game for Ferguson anyway unless they go the second spinner in Sodhi
Indians have a huge soft spot for New Zealand after the last World Cup Final.
Yep, only won us the 2015 World Cup under severe pressure at home, but other than that you have a good point
So we win a big game against quality opposition and this thread is largely whinging and complaining that everyone is s**t?

We almost lost a game after scoring 388Funny isn't it we are the first team in the history of ODI's to score 350 plus 3 times consecutively and we are all still bitching about the batting order....lol
got to love big footy
Bowling needs work

Batting too we still need to finish off the innings did leave 20 runs out there
well we won but i find it pretty hard to feel good about conceding 380. even if the needle has shifted with cricket scores in the current era.
a lot of our cricket is wasteful. don't turn over strike in the middle orders, throwing away wickets at the end of the innings, dropping lots of catches, happy to give away plenty of runs with our bowling tactics.
we've well and truly turned the corner though. i feel better about our chances at the pointy end.

Lost 2 quick wickets, NZ were bowling well and people here were expecting Marsh and Smith to hit every 3rd or 4th ball for 4 or 6.

Replace injured Ferguson in squad with whom?
Or go at a run a ball.
There will surely be crisis talk for the selectors as they ponder how Australia scored 3 of the top 7 scores of the tournament consecutively (out of 56 total).
Going 6.9 rpo as they have over the last 4 matches simply won't cut it on the big leagues.

Wouldn't want to be a bowler these days - superpower bats, 60-70m boundaries, the flattest of flat wickets. Reckon if the skipper was looking my way, I'd suddenly be bending down to ties my shoelaces...........
Go easy on Plugger...it's been a tough 12 hours being a Kiwi....as an Aussie trapped in NZ, been the best 12 hours of my life.
If Boult goes for 70 odd off 10 overs, Southee will go for more every day of the week....as we know Boult is a better white ball bowler than Southee. As for Kane, yep agree a great player....but not so against Aust for some reason. Starc still living off the fumes of that opening over v Baz back in 2015....time for Mitch to have a breather.. ..

Marsh did face 51 balls. After around 20 he might’ve had to up the rate a little

He bowled well then - high 140s with swing and control. Now, though, 8 years later, he's badly out of form. He has no rhythm bowling over the wicket.Yep, only won us the 2015 World Cup under severe pressure at home, but other than that you have a good point
0-89 off 9 overs with 9 wides was horrendous and too big a risk to continue with. Letting down his teammates badly and nearly lost us the unloseable match.

Are you being deliberately dense?Ummm yeahhhh… Starc’s pies, wides and general lack of consistency are just something I made up from today’s game

I was surprised that Neser didn't make the squad - his batting alone would have been an asset, but so would his bowling.

"Genuine gun when he bowls well but not when he bowls bad."
You'd make a great commentator on Fox.
