*Official* Australia in New Zealand T20s 2021

[Mike5181]

Even just chasing the money, I think long-term Milne and Munro's best option would've been to play in the T20 World Cup in India. Higher chance of attracting attention at the future IPL auctions.

I’m guessing that the announcement of new community cases in Auckland today probably means we’ll still be at level 2 next week, which would mean no crowd for the Christchurch game, real shame would’ve loved to see the ground packed out.

EDIT: Nope, great stuff!

Level 1 confirmed for most of the country. Hopefully Auckland will be too by the time the Eden Park game rolls around.

 

[Chewie]

I wonder if they'd move the game from Eden Park if that was the case

Such a relief! This was one of the main things I was concerned about with the move to level 2. Would have been disastrous for NZC if the series was played in empty grounds not to mention being a far less compelling spectacle.

Guptill back in action tonight I hear. He's all good to go. Hope he goes well.

I'm not sure what to expect from this series really. Wouldn't care about wins and losses but I think this will be a close series if we are to believe the Aussie players although not hugely known names are still reasonably good. Looking forward to Riley Meredith and Sanga from the Australian side. There is a lot of hype about those two.

Our team is pretty stock standard other than seeing how Guptill goes. Can Conway carry on his form in what is the first of the big billed series?

 

[straw man]

Oh hey this, that exciting T20 series between NZ and the best of the BBL that we've all been waiting eagerly for, wodged at the end of the summer, is finally starting. I can see everyone is very excited.

Australia Aaron Finch (c), Matthew Wake (wk), Josh Philippe, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Marsh, Daniel Sams, Ashton Agar, Jhye Richardson, Kane Richardson, Adam Zampa

Good of Matthew to change his name after the funeral for his test career.

International cricket, you beauty. Been a while

Yeah I'm going to enjoy it even with it being the most money-grabbing JAMT20 series of JAMT20 series. Five matches, wow.

 

[_Ed_]

Holy ****, look at that crowd already.

 

[Howsie]

Come on Australia, gone are the days of you managing to send over a B team and win. Flogging is all this will be, don’t know if it’s even worth watching

Gup.

 

[Flem274*]

lol pretty inevitable

hes done larsen, just accept it. cant score for auckland in any format. its over.

 

[bill8164]

So Gary, he looked like a million bucks in the nets did he ...

 

[Fuller Pilch]

If Guppy doesn't score many in Dunedin I'd like to see Conway opening with Chapman brought in at 4/5

 

[Flem274*]

nz need to score a lot because even on a large ground like hagley you cant trust half the bowlers we've picked today

 

[_Ed_]

Well, ****.

 

[Burgey]

It's a shame to see a bloke like Guptill who's bee so good for NZ in LO formats for so long just completely out of form.

JRich is just a ****ing weapon.
