I didn't hear one thing on who actually replaced Edward Penishands as skipper. Who on earth is our captain ?

Fatty Funch, played a real captains knock.

This season Matt Henry is so badly out of form he resembles Andrew Penn.

Not sure I agree, but if Williamson won't bowl himself I don't trust Neesham, Munro and de Grandhomme with 10 overs.

Guptill is a loss, but still expect us to win this series well

Cheers man.

While top order showed steely resolve, just let down by Stoinis who didn't get the memo, and decided he'd be Ian Botham

 

[Iafeta]

Matt Henry has played 5 ODIs this year, is going at 6.86 and averaging 46.42. He has no real form domestically either. With Henry he can't bowl after over 35. He's boundary fodder from that point on.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Yup cant blame Handscombe, Wade would have been better but cant blame the backup keeper with limited to no preparation (couple of bbl games dont cut it)

The only times you should ever use the line "Wade would have been better..." are in the following circumstances:

"Wade would have been better than the Black Death"

"Wade would have been better than the Spanish flu"

"Wade would have been better than the Great Famine"

Though the third one is debatable. I can't speak for the Irish as to which one they personally would have preferred.

 

[Bazal]

The Irish probably would have eaten Wadey. After all, he's nothing but a dirty great potato

 

[Twizzle]

So he's a nugget and chips ?

Sorry I'll get my coat.

Wadey gooorrrne - series over, how will the petals recover from the loss of their great leader/keeper/bat

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Wadey out for the series.

 

[Bazal]

Surely we have to send over a replacement, whether it's a keeper or a batsman....Heazlett isn't up to it by any stretch just yet

 

[TIGER14]

Tim Paine please

 

[Bazal]

At least the NZ players have a sense of humour....

 

[Timbo]

You know what though, if that happened today the commentators would be so far up the players arses saying it was legal, won the game etc. Richie was like an angry school principal at the end there. His ilk don't really exist anymore.

Cam White may be a Victorian f**kwit, but he has got a point with his whinge.

Maddo, Heazlett, Mennie, Cartwright etc are getting picked on poo-tential, not on what they've done

Zampa must've run over Hohn's dog or something

 

[Iafeta]

Richie was a legend. Rest in peace, champion.

They broke the mould after Richie was born

It was a quality spray by the great man, Sluts and Heals would probably try and tell us in was brilliant captaincy or some sort of rubbish.

Can't believe Zampa doesn't play every game, it's ridiculous we continue to play ODI's without a recognised spinner.
