1st T20: New Zealand v Australia @ Wellington Feb 21, 2024

[TheParraboy]

3 match T20 series commencing 510pm on Wednesday

My understanding these 3 games are the last T20 internationals for Australia before the WC, not sure if kiwis play more?

The Rig is out

Stoinis ruled out of NZ tour, Hardie called up

The allrounder tweaked his back during against West Indies and will miss the final series before the World Cup

No Stoinis First RSA send a second rate team, now Aust do too

 

[King-Gutho94]

Finally we get a rematch of the 2021 T20WC finalists.

Since that game there has already been another meaningless T20-World cup and another one in 3-4 months time.

you take that back, all these matches are of great importance, you'll be telling your grandchildren about seeing Aaron Hardie and Josh Clarkson face off in a game for the ages

 

[AlwaysGreen]

No Stoinis or Wade for this first one, we are gifting the kiwis this game.

I apologise i only remember 2 T20s between Australia & NZ in my lifetime. Which i will tell my future grandkids about.

The 2021 T20 WC Final when the Bison teed off.

And the other one was when Adam Voges at the SCG about 15 years started the trend of catching the ball but throwing it up in the air as he was going over the boundary and caught it again once he stepped over the rope. I was there that night and it happened right in front of us where we were sitting in a game we won by 2 or 3 runs.

No wonder stoinplod tweaked his back all that quality late order hitting in the past 4-5 years he has produced his back was going to go at some point.

He keeps tweaking his back carrying around his ego.

Who will take out the Luke Ronchi Cup?

Only one I remember was the first one, where our guys dressed like it was 1975, and Ponting showed he was the best there was at that point in time

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I agree with David. Maybe JJ can billet him on his last trip - got a spare couch and oled?

Warner calls for more Australian tours of New Zealand, despite memories of 'personal' sledging

Departing great David Warner calls for a renewal of the trans-Tasman rivalry after a drought of Australian teams touring New Zealand, despite some unfriendly memories of his last visit.

Another squad update

Hardie ruled out of NZ with Johnson called in

Hardie suffered calf tightness in the Shield match against Tasmania and was withdrawn as a precaution

[Canard]

As an Aussie, I find it weird when Australian's complain about crowd behaviour and sledging.

It's like a bully who gets sooky about people punching back.

ffs

What about the Stoinis-Styris cup????

New Zealand and Australia to now also play T20I series for Chappell-Hadlee trophy

Earlier comprising just ODIs, the trophy will now be awarded for all white-ball series between the trans-Tasman rivals

pretty insulting to Piggy Styris that you'd put him in that company

 

[AlwaysGreen]

What about the Rackemann - Su'a Trophy?

 

[Bazal]

Bois. It clearly should be the Bison - DeBigMan shield. Come on

 

[King-Gutho94]

Parore-Wade Cup - 2 wicket-keepers who don't mind a chirp and verbal behind the stumps.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Obviously we're all wrong as it has to be named after the inventer and saviour of cricket: The Lord Baz McCallum Shield.
