Great finish to the first T20i, fantastic innings from Tim David to win it from the last ball.

What is NZ's obsession with making Southee bowl the last over? He has been horrible in those since the very beginning. Constantly failing to defend targets, even today, 15 is a pretty decent number to be defended, but Southee had to be Southee.

Fixed.

Surprised it took him so long, wonder if he still held out some hope of facing off against the old enemy one last time.

Now if Southee gets the memo…

Somehow Henry Nicholls returned

Imagine picking Kuggeleijn. Gonna have to support Australia.

Imagine picking Kuggeleijn. Gonna have to support Australia.

Fully agreed.

My position on Kuggeleijn is that he's perfectly allowed to continue to make a living playing domestic cricket and if anyone wants to pick him for their domestic team then that's their business. But to pick someone like that to represent your country is absolutely grim.

The worst of it is that he's not even that good a cricketer so there's not even a utilitarian argument for picking him.

Fun stat for how settled this Australian team is, the last six players to debut as top-six batters:

• Will Pucovski, January 2021 (72 runs @ 36.00 from 1 match)
• Cameron Green, December 2020 (1,144 runs @ 32.68 from 27 matches*)
• Kurtis Patterson, January 2019 (144 runs @ 144.00 from 2 matches)
• Marcus Harris, December 2018 (607 runs @ 25.29 from 14 matches)
• Travis Head, October 2018 (3,104 runs @ 43.11 from 48 matches*)
• Marnus Labuschagne, same game (4,016 runs @ 50.20 from 49 matches*)

* stats correct at time of writing

cam green wow what a player.

Great innings by Hazlewood, supported well by Green.

 

[Bevab]

This is some seriously good bowling coupled with abysmal batting.

Good to see my NZ boys rolling back the years and being demolished by Aus inside 2 days. Oh the 90's, what a time.

The funniest thing is that NZ of the 90s have a better record against Australia than the contemporary one even if they were pumped on occasion.

Can’t quite understand how they’ve always failed to turn up against Australia in the big games or moments.
