O'Rourke definitely looking the easiest to hit on this surface, perhaps doesn't have the accuracy or variations he needs yet. Give some overs to Phillips.

This surface and match scenario can be pretty unforgiving for someone with his particular skillset. Calls more for a Harris/Styris type of bowler I feel. Mitchell or Phillips is the closest NZ have.

 

[Athlai]

Boy did we need that

 

[King Kane]

A jaffa from Santner, the captain stepping up.

 

[thundaboult]

ouch...not much u can do about that :/

 

[StephenZA]

My fault. Apologies. 🫂

 

[straw man]

Sants

 

[SeamUp]

What a peach!

 

[Moss]

Reminded of how he got Sarfaraz Khan in the Pune test, nicely slowed and floated up.

Santner has become Derek Underwood over the last twelve months

 

[SeamUp]

Well here we go Klaasen, you've set yourself the aim of being the best in the world. The stage is yours.

 

[SeamUp]

My fault. Apologies. 🫂

Markram has looked mint hitting the ball at the top of the bounce since your other post so it's fine, RvD cancels out.

 

[thundaboult]

good stuff from the big quick

 

[Bahseph]

I will never forgive him for becoming so good...

I love how much Rassie being class at ODIs irks you

More like Dan Vettori, I'm not old enough to remember Derek Underwood but by all accounts he was up there with both of them.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

That's the game

 

[Bahseph]

Pretty much. A lot for Markram to do here.

 

[Moss]

Mitch is clutch!

Fingers crossed on Henry though, would be a shame if NZ qualify and he isn't fit

 

[StephenZA]

That's the game

Yep. That does it.

 

[thundaboult]

what a spell this is
