4th T20: New Zealand v Australia at Wellington Mar 5th 2021

[Bazal]

It’s up to his partners to score runs ... and quickly..

you bagged him for batting like “a snail” and putting pressure on the others...

The others... particularly Philippe.. gave him next to no strike....

If they were scoring quick runs then not an issue.. but when they struggle, keep the strike.. then get out.. that ain’t Finch’s fault..

At one point he’d faced only 11 balls in the 6th over...

But yeah, blame Finch..

Not sure why you've jumped in with the hate for Phillippe this game...bizarre, really.

FYI Finchy had a greater % of strike with Phillippe than he did with Wade, Maxy or Stoinis. But no we went poor cos of a 4 gamer with two 40s out of position in his debut series.

Deadset....

Finchie's partners needed to score quick while it was ok for him to crawl along like a snail for 19 overs. With an over to go he was barely above a run a ball after facing about 50 balls.

How is that on anyone else???? Serious question???? It was great he put away 4 pies at the end but you can't tell me him batting like Chris Tavare didn't put pressure on anyone else???

Kane's a Vegan, what a shock.

I don't reckon his innings was poor, but it was average and he salvaged it by cashing in on shit bowling at the end. Classic Finchy knock, really.

I just don't think we can carry Finch in the modern game, especially in ODI cricket. As an opener the bloke rarely strikes over 75-85 until he gets to about 25+ in T20s and sometimes even 75+ in ODIs. Not good enough.

And I've been saying it since the lead up to the last ODI world cup.

 

[TheParraboy]

Wouldn’t be out of the question we get 10-12 overs out of Agar, Zampa, Maxy tonight

Pacemen doing ok for now, especially Meredith

 

[TheParraboy]

The great Kane strikes !!

2/34
7.5 overs

He shanked two balls in the second last over and if he hole's out it is a decent knock??? And i agree Baz 300 is a par score these days and you can't have one of your opening batsman batting under 75% sr the first 10 overs.

 

[Bazal]

This deck'll suit vegan Kane.

He was a decent bowler before he vanished up his own arse. Got a good slower ball that he bangs into the wicket, which should work on this kind of surface

 

[hineyrulz]

For the Kiwi fans surely Phillips takes the gloves and Munro comes in as opener??? Seifert is a bit of a plodder IMO.

 

[hineyrulz]

Maxy!!!!! Kane out Kaned by Vegan Kane and gets himself out on purpose.

 

[Bazal]

Haha Bison catches like a fourth grader, hands all over the place. Love it

3/36
8.4 overs

The great kiwi Kane gone to the Show

kiwis in trouble

 

[hineyrulz]

He moved to that like Greg Drake in a yawning gap.

 

[Bazal]

Haha what a shit game. Well run dickhead

 

[TheParraboy]

Halfway mark
Kiwis 4/41
10 overs

Still need 116

 

[mozza91]

Pretty sure Maxy shoots birds at the airport.

 

[hineyrulz]

Kiwis have gone full Admiral.

 

[Bazal]

It's nice to see Wadey infecting the opposition with shitfulness for once

 

[hineyrulz]

Good catch Finchy, he hung onto that like it was a 3 piece feed.

 

[TheParraboy]

Makes Finch’s run a ball innings for a good while (while we were regularly losing wickets as well) in perspective on this deck.

We could have declared at the 19th over and a still win this game

Kiwis 5/48
11.3 overs
