2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Game 32 New Zealand V South Africa 1/11 1900hrs @ Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium

[NYRB]

Pakistan will beat New Zealand next game. Whether they beat them to overtake them on NRR is another question.

 

[yabsy]

At least Neesham is batting but he looks to be struggling with his thumb injury so probably won't be doing much hitting.

Potentially only 11 fit players for the Pakistan game?

England will likely be playing for Champions Trophy qualification vs Pakistan whilst Sri Lanka might have their eyes on the flight home.

NZ would be favourites to make semis imo but they can guarantee it by beating Pakistan next game.

He doesnt coach their ODI side

Brainless when the match is over and the bloke is injured

Oh forgot they have that useless ex Aus coach

 

[StingBitten]

Geez the turn on that by Maharaj was Warnie-esque.

 

[ep2018]

Surely he can be borrowed lol

I'm an idiot, forgot he coaches England anyway lol. Time for bed me thinks.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Boult going for that promotion

Na you are right the ex Aussie coaches their ODI side Mott

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Surely Henry doesn’t bat when they need 250 more

 

[NYRB]

Geez the turn on that by Maharaj was Warnie-esque.

Reminded me a bit of Warne to Strauss

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Boult looking like one of our best batsmen so far.

Not saying much

Phillips has looked good that’s a positive

 

[LukeParkerno1]

This is more ridiculous than Neesham batting

You need 225 what’s a bloke with a bung hammy batting for!

 

[NYRB]

Smith reckons Kyle Jamieson is a logical replacement if alot of NZ players who are injured cant play.

 

[yabsy]

But it sounds like his back home & their next game is in 3 days

Did we bowl poorly to allow NZ to get so close?

Yes.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Phillips teeing off and brings up his fifty.

Game over

Fixed

 

[The Passenger]

Great effort from Australia to crawl across the line against us without Williamson and Southee, get them back and it will be a different story.

Turns out NZ have only solved 50% of their problems.

 

[JimmyBC]

Never change NZ just lol

 

[PhatBoy]

Regardless
At the end of the day, the final decision is his.

No one blamed the coach or team mates when Nassar Hussein put the Aussies in in Brisbane 2003 and we scored a million.

Hussain was the full-time captain of his country, not keeping the seat warm for another member of the touring party, and that decision was made before the level of planning and analysis we have now.

Latham’s decision would have been based around what his team was most comfortable doing but unfortunately drifted from the old adage of doing what your opponent least wants you to do.

No team in their right mind except MAYBE India should be tempting fate by bowling first against SA.

India is a spectacularly good chasing side generally and will back themselves to always limit their opposition to something achievable but outside of them you’re mad to let SA have first tilt.

 

[HugeJohnson]

A huge shame for cricket De Kock made such an early retirement in the test arena. On the flipside the benefits are probably paying off for him in the shorter formats. Unbelievable player.

 

[grumbleguts]

England got those 76 Sixes in 11 games. (in 2019)

South Africa got 78 Sixes in 7 games. (2023)

LOL one is in India, the other on cricket grounds.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Who do NZ have unavailable at the moment? Can't keep up with the carnage
