3rd ODI: New Zealand v Australia at Hamilton on Feb 5, 2017

[Iafeta]

Good over. Game on.

 

[Iafeta]

5fer. Outstanding from Boult. That's why he's #1 in the world.

 

[Iafeta]

Magic from Boult. Pure magic. When the game was on the line Boult came through brilliantly.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Bowled out twice against NZ.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

I love weatching these overrated no hopers lose,makes me happy

Well done NZ

 

[Hutty1986]

So shit.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Boult mopped up the tail well.

Whoever is responsible for the music at sky sport cricket coverage needs shooting.

 

[Bazal]

Can't blame Australia. Never recovered from the sickening sight of seeing Matthew Wade wracked with back spasms....

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Great day for new Zealand. Their cricketers butchered us as badly as Darryl Halligan is butchering the English language at the nines.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

A nice bonus is that the win moves us above India in the ODI rankings.

Suck shit India. Outranked by a minnow.

 

[Red Bear]

Faulkners batting hs really fallen off a cliff. Lessens his value to the side

 

[Iafeta]

Not only do they lose third place, but it looks like the Indian BCCI model of our money is our money and your money is our money is coming to an end too. And they're accepting DRS so their magic batting averages may stop dropping too.

Well, I guess they still get to roll Australia mercilessly on dust bowls soon. Can't wait to see Handscum go back and across to everything on raging turners. Will be very different than the super highways he's built his Voges-esq average on.

 

[hineyrulz]

Another series loss due to the selectors, continually picking unbalanced sides packed with passengers.

Can't blame Australia. Never recovered from the sickening sight of seeing Matthew Wade wracked with back spasms....

Think that's it in a nutshell


Home advantage is big, and in both series the away team was under strength

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Losing Wadey was a bigger blow than NSW losing Mitch Pierce out of the origin series last year.

 

[Hutty1986]

Faulkners batting hs really fallen off a cliff. Lessens his value to the side

His batting reputation was built on a heap of onside heaves v the poms at the gabba in 2013.

 

[Iafeta]

Handscum is exclusively back foot. Get him off the NBN Super Highways and he's like watching Willie Watson construct an innings. Blokes like Doolan, Forrest, Quiney, White, Rorher would be better long term bets.

 

[JJ]

Unless something changes Handscomb will very quickly become a trivia question

Here's a m/c who's the bigger nuffy Marsh or Munro, I'm going Marsh because he actually might have some talent but omg LOL

 

[Iafeta]

I agree. He may be on a Voges downward slide soon. And I'm not sure even Richard Illingworth can save him. He looked non plussed when he got out, but it was just awful footwork and balance that did him in.

Reminds me a bit of Gary Ballance who also became a regular Boult victim because all Trent had to do was hit a full length and any movement he was a shot duck.

 

[JJ]

Without a Pakistani no ball his odi record would be Maddinson like.

Hard to see how that way of batting will translate to many places

How the f**k us Macwell in a test squad ahead of Head?

Glad to see Boult on the improve, and Ross. Would prefer Brownlie in the test team over Nicholls
