Australia tour of New Zealand, 2021- 5 T20 matches

[Westend]

Jhye Richardsons bowling is going under the radar, he should be dropped for the decider.
3 wickets at 40 but apparently Kane Richardson who has 7 at 17 is the spud.
BBL & IPL form is meaningless so giving him a free pass because he is seen as a future prospect is just wrong.

Didn't help when finch dropped a sitter off his bowling and then it went for four as well to make his figures look worse

He has not been given a free pass and most likely he will be dropped come the decider

 

[Hamingja]

The Aussies just don't like making changes.
Still think McDermott should come in for Wade and Dorf for Jhye.

To me it is disappointing that McDermott has not got a run. Selectors must have wanted a full series to look at Wade v Philippe for the WC and they have both been pretty average. Phillipe has scored some runs but has had a shitload of luck in doing so. Carey has improved his stocks by not playing.

Yep

Bowled without luck yesterday.
His first over was quite good but he got nicked twice for boundaries.

He's is out of form though.

I understand the point of not changing a winning formula (Especially when we got a late hitter like Jhye). But if we dropped Wade for McDermott and Jhye Richardson for Doff. We would have a greater chance of winning the last game.

A Finch
J Phillipe (WK)
B McDermott
G Maxwell
M Stoinis
M Marsh
A Agar
K Richardson
A Zampa
J Berendoff
R Meredith

Finch is the master at scoring scratchy 50s, than suddenly unleashing with brutal timing!!

Its interesting that they have not given the other guys in the squad a go....this is a series to experiment thought Turner Dorff and Mcdermott would of at least got a game by now

Phillipe FINALLY opening

 

[Gak Attack]

Not a great start. So much for Philippe opening. Would have preferred a quick Wade burst.

 

[Donakebab]

Never looked comfortable out there.

 

[Mkcaptain]

How did Boult get away with that wide lol

 

[Gak Attack]

How the **** was that not a wide? Was 2 feet over his head

 

[BACCS]

How the fu** was that not a wide? Was 2 feet over his head

Keeper only just got to it! That’s as easy wide call an umpire will get

 

[NSWCROW]

FACK !!!

 

[Gak Attack]

Really haven't done enough against the rubbish spinners. Getting show in is probably not the worst.

 

[NSWCROW]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

 

[Scorpus]

Oh dear

 

[Gak Attack]

So much for that

 

[Torz]

Chapman actually seems half decent with the ball.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hit it on the ground for 5 balls Maxy...
