T20 WC - Black Caps v Afghanistan

[MN5]

@SouthernMann said in T20 WC - Black Caps v Afghanistan:

Hilarious people are complaining about Chapman over Ravindra. Chapman being the only NZer who made the 2023 ICC T20 team of the year. He scored 576 at 44 last year. He was particularly good on slow pitches. Ravindra still averages under 18 in all T20 matches. It is a no brainer to pick Chapman ahead of Ravindra. I would have picked Seifert ahead of Ravindra in the squad. Jeez we are looking like a team that hasn't played in a while.

Ravindra is the most overrated player in recent BC history. Not saying he won’t get good but the jury is still firmly out on him.

In other news this commentary is terrible.

Good to see that NZ has been working on their fielding in the off-season - NOT!!

[No Quarter]

Just terrible fielding, if we were Pakistan I'd be talking about fixing.

Afghanistan haven't capitalized on their luck though, they need to get a move on.

Pedestrian Stead still hasn't taken any action about our dire fielding.

[MN5]

55-0 after 10 is a very slow run rate

[SouthernMann]

Just wish we had 10 GPs out there. He is bloody good

My favourite player in the team. Can do it all and so enthusiastic

[Donsteppa]

Flat pies from Bracewell.

[No Quarter]

Just as I say that lol. We don't deserve to win this, we are well below par

[MN5]

In classic ACC fashion the commentators make one shit joke about a players name then repeat it lots just in case it was missed.

Ibrahim ‘Lincoln’…..oh my sides, I can’t take this wit any more.

[Cyclops]

Not able to watch, what's the pitch like? This is a weird scorecard for a T20.

[SouthernMann]

Despite playing poorly, their total won't be huge. It'll be niggly and a weird one to chase.

Yeah a strange mix of huge hits and complete mistimed shots.

Our fielding has definitely helped them though.

Subtle dig at Afghanistan there ?

Fantastic final over from ‘lovely’ Trent

( seriously ACC, fuck off with your dumb names )

[Bovidae]

Right, now Conway and Allen owe the team some runs.

Comms and the top scoring Afghan batsman seem to think the surface is tough and the total will be difficult. We need a good start
