Chappell-Hadlee Series

[Mokey]

Henry Nicholls made 10 before getting out...not sure why he was opening? Also, Guptill is just chewing up deliveries here.

[Donsteppa]

A great audition for the test side from Guptill.

[nzzp]

We're digging oursleves into a deep, deep hole here.

[Chris B.]

Pitch obviously a lot harder to score on than I thought - but, we're scoring at 2.57 and we now need to go at over 6.

Someone's going to have to find a way to put the pedal to the metal.

[Gunner]

It’ll be ok, so long as Guptil stays in and catches up on his scoring rate.
If he has chewed up this many balls getting set then gets out, it makes it really tough for the next guys coming in.

If we bat the 50 we should win, but we might fail to do that if we can’t score enough runs in the first 30 or so and have to force the issue

Can't watch it lads - pay TV only, so.... doesn't count, really.

[Donsteppa]

Someone tell Guptill you can't bat for an honourable draw in an ODI.

And as I type he starts running like a cat on a hot tin roof and all but runs out Kane.

[Donsteppa]

Definitely the test series all over again...

This is so predictable. They own us

Our batting is poor under any pressure. Nicholls especially - after a good 18 months a while back - has reverted to 'good for a scratchy few runs' at best.

[Mokey]

Someone needs to tell Stead to fark off. Might be good for a few overs of runs at least.

[Mokey]

Taylor, you fluffybunny.

[Donsteppa]

Oh FFS.

[Donsteppa]

If only Thakur could bowl for the Australians...

[Mokey]

It would be funny, but it's just not. Guptill gone. 82/4 in the 23rd over.

[Steven Harris]

The Black Caps have this amazing ability throughout their history to play Australia back into form, you can practically set your clock by it.

[Mokey]

Neesham went for 8. We are now 102/5 in the 28th over. RRR 7.02.

[canefan]

Blundell and Kylo in for Nicholls and Neesh

[mariner4life]

Fuck, mental block much?
