England vs BCs ODI series
-
I just flicked on the box and we're bowling. Did we win the toss? Oh so we sent them in. At least we've learned something from the T20!
-
Bairstow OUT c Rosco b Trent. We're on the board!
-
Latham is by no means perfect but he is already looking a class above Seifert with the gloves. Seifert really did make keeping look hard.
-
@crazy-horse Seifert also made batting look hard.
-
Lathams keeping has improved but his batting has turned to crap
-
Poms 190/5 in the 38th over
-
Game in the balance a bit, here.
We need to get Buttler quickly and we'll potentially restrict them to 260. If we don't 300 could be on the cards.
-
Pretty good bowling in the last 10. We didn't get Buttler, but getting Moeen and Woakes helped.
Thought Timmy especially was excellent, except the one he dropped short in his final over.

Sodhi and Santner bowled well; Southee was excellent. Good outcome on that ground.
When yo uconsider our fifth bowler was a combo of Munro and de Grandhomme, it's bloody good. Those boys are power hitters, and they got away with the dibbley dobblers against some quality batting.
now we need to really bat well.
-
@nzzp Munro gone early - there goes the "lazy man's way to riches".
Have to work hard for this now.
Not sure what to make of this pitch - looked like it became progressively harder to score - most likely as the ball got softer.
We need the dew to help us, because I'm inclined to think England has actually posted something above par.
-
Another failure from Williamson at a pedestrian pace. Hmm...

Irritating, as an inform Williamson would (should) be tailor made for batting on a surface like this.
Going to take a bit to win from here.
-
Black Caps continuing their mediocrity against anyone decent.
28/3
We’ll be rolled for under 200
-
Guppy gone as well - 28/3 after 10 overs and I think we can chalk this one in the "disasters" column.
-
Have seen Kane do this time and time again this summer. He thinks that he is allowed to waste balls at the start and then score freely later. That's a good theory if you can indeed catch up, but more times than not, the pressure of not scoring is going to get to you and you will go out as a result. Dumb play. Guptill did the same thing but he normally doesn't do this so will cut him some slack.
-
And ol Eric Murray is rocking a dad bod 😊 there's hope for us yet lads. Dire start.

Stephen Fleming would be proud
-
At least the Flem waited till 70+ before giving his wicket away!

Off 150 balls....
-
Tom Latham doing a good job in presumably what is his designated role - re-building when we get a shit start.
Not completely convinced that it's a legitimate role for a wicket-keeper - we might be better to have a bigger hitter playing behind Nicholls - and in this instance take our medicine with a heavy loss, but Tommy can prove me wrong.
We might also have not judged this pitch quite right and perhaps should have played Ferguson instead of two spinners.
-
Great fight back from Latham and Taylor. We need one of these guys to go deep to have a chance here.
-
We're back to slightly behind England's comparative score - but, a wicket to the good!
-
Wowwee, what a pleasant and unexpected surprise.
Went to mow the lawns at 50/3, and now look. Latham and Rosco doing a great rebuilding job.
Almost game on..... almost.
-
Taylor and Latham showing how you accumulate a fucking total. Respect the good balls, smash the bad ones to the boundary, a few easy singles.
Kind of shows up Kane's effort even more. He's woefully out of form right now, which really sucks when you know how gifted a batsman he is.
-
Latham almost loses his wicket after losing his patience then Woakes hands him an easy 4 off the last ball of the over. Lucky
-
England are picking some poor LBW shouts to be adamant about...
-
Latham might be cramping up so Roscoe is saving him from running by bashing a couple of 4s
-
We've got ourselves into a winning position now, so picking a comfortable loss in the end.

Our biggest test will be getting production out of the next batsmen to follow these two. We are never far from a collapse
-
Latham riding his luck a bit....
-
Can understand what he was trying to do though, we can't afford to get too far behind the asking rate here. Doesn't look like an easy pitch to manufacture shots on.
-
Time to hit out or get out, Latham.
-
Yo @Tim, hook a brother up with wed's lotto numbers would ya 😁🖒

Are you Henry Nicholls in disguise?
-
Cue the collapse
-
Oh dear...
-
Colin just has to keep things ticking over while he gets in
-
8 runs an over for the last 10 is nowhere near impossible. They just need to not be fucking stupid.
-
Buttler making Seifert look like a genius behind the stumps.

Sigh.
