Kicks off tonight in Oz against Oz.
Can we get our Number 1 ranking back if we win?
-
I believe the game is tomorrow, Saturday night.
-
@KiwiMurph has that right. Tomorrow - Sat 9:20pm at SCG.

No. We end up 1 point behind Pakistan. Drop to 3rd if we lose behind India.
Not sure what the weighting is for home matches?

Oh nuts, I thought it was tonight
-
We need to win our next two T20 games to go back to 1.
-
We've named our top team.
BLACKCAPS XI: Guptill, Munro, Williamson (c), Bruce, Taylor, De Grandhomme, Blundell, Santner, Southee, Sodhi, Boult
-
Are these fuckers wearing black, or is it just really really dark green?
-
Pretty silly from Munro.
I know he always has a go, but this guy is a pretty unknown bowler, at least have a look at one ball before going for it. -
Overrated NZ slogger disappoints in Australia. He wouldnt be the first...
-
Fuck sakes now Guptills gone, this fucker is on a hatrick.
Perfect situation for Taylor, but they seem pretty set in their order regardless of situation, so can’t see them changing it.
-
Doing plenty off the pitch, bad toss to lose. Though I guess it should still be doing a bit for us when we get the ball.
-
Come on Kane, I know we’re 2 down for fuck all but you can’t just play out a maiden...
-
For fuck's sake...
..could we start any worse?
-
Bruce, good for fuck all like I’ve been bleating on about for a while now.
Wow, the excitement of watching our boys play in a series with a couple of the big boys has been whipped out from under our feet.
3/16
120 a good target from here.
-
Is Ferguson injured?
-
@siam couldn’t make the squad.

Apparently it was more important to include journeyman who has clearly shown he's not international standard Kitchen instead of developing the most promising young quick we've had in some time. Bizarre selection.
-
Shame too as it'd be cool to see Ferg hit the mid 150s with the Aus speed guns.
-
Let’s talk about Bruce, he seems to slip under the radar on here.
What has he actually done?I think I remember one 50 last summer?
He’s out of chances as far as I’m concerned.
Bring in Chapman, Devcich or even Nicholls.

He is there to hit and he does a decent job at it. I don't think he is anything more than a T20 player at best. Of the three you mention, only Chapman really competes with him.

A decent job, really?
What do we class as a decent job?
30 off 15 once in a while and nothing in between? -
Why is this Williamson guy in the team?
-
Williamson in his first prolonged form slump... and it doesn't end tonight...
-
Kane gone.
At least I’ll be in bed we’ll before the 1am I was expecting.
What a joke.
-
Fucking hell where was this bowling against the Poms?

Top catch by Warner
If @Virgil wasn't at Foo Fighters, his mangina would have exploded
-
I would have brought out De Grandhomme and just hoped he could hit us out of trouble.
-
Meh, Australia can only win at home.
-
I miss the West Indies.

We're following standard protocol for a BCs team in Oz, playing you guys back into form
-
Well, we're farked. Only saving grace was finding a way to turn off the aussie commentators and live on crowd noise and stump microphones. They are beyond a joke. So one eyed it's like hearing a booth full of Justin Marshall commentating Canterbury games.
FML.
-
We should be looking to get through to 130ish and then hope our bowlers can exploit the conditions with the new ball.

But it’s not much good having a good strike rate if you consistently score fuck all.
Blundell needs to bat through the rest of the innings at 120 strike rate, the rest need to go hard at at least 200
-
Someone please tell me we lost the toss and got sent in to bat
-
The pitch is two paced and there's plenty of seam movement. This is a shit pitch for a T20. If we can get to 130 - 140 we're in this. Probably a big if though.
-
Wow an LBW review from a million miles down the track.
Suppose not much to lose by goin for it when you’re so far on top.

Not out of the question, if CDG can tee off, and we also get a couple of fast lower order cameos....
-
We’ve really put our foot down in the last couple overs.
Run rate has rocketed along from 5 to 5.06.
-
10 an over gets us to 140. It seems a long way off right now.
