New Zealand host Australia for 3 ODIs and 2 Tests starting tonight.
Brendan McCullum enters his final month as an International cricketer and should be part of an exciting series.
Australia have decided to give Shaun Marsh another go in the ODI series in place of the injured Aaron Finch. Seems stupid that Usman Khawaja is overlooked.
No Tim Southee for the Black Caps as he's still injured.
-
Boult looks like a completely different bowler to the one from last year. Boy has he lost it. I know he's been injured but the decline has been massive. Lost about 10kph.
What scores are we going to see in this series? The last odi between pak and nz was played on a 57m boundary. Could easily see scores of 400+ given both bowing line ups
-
Maxwell
Anderson
Warner
McCullum
Could be carnage. I'm going 350ish
-
Guptill Double hundred.
-
Wasn't it about 100 v 99 last game in NZ?
-
300+ definitely on cards ! Both teams have batsman who wreak havoc on the bowling attack ...
-
Aussies folding like a cheap suit when not on there flat tracks off home
40 for 5 after 8 overs chasing 308
Maxwell having brain fade for last week, next ball after Bailey falls tries to smash it over extra cover......
-
6 down! 3 each for Henry and boult
-
Maxwell, Marsh and Bailey ... all three have lost the plot. When chasing 300+ score with 2 wickets down what is need to go for reckless shots ??
-
Did Aussies have a warm up in nz?
Strange if not. I knew they just played a 5 games series vs India. But not to get 1 warm up in no conditions is strange.
Marsh's wicket was strange. Good ball by boult, which kind squared him up, but at last minute he opened the face to try and run it down to third man. Just ran it to slip instead.
-
It would be fantastic if Faulkner and Wade manage to pull of this chase. So many overs are left ... Even if one of them gets out, they are screwed !
-
Wake up. See score. Back to bed.
-
That's a paddling!
-
148 all out ..
-

Think It's only England who continue to complain and use lack of warm up games as an excuse for losing
-
That a no then?
-
No warm ups. Most of the squad was still in the T20 series against India on Sunday. No complaints though we got humped.

It's funny how in the BBL Mark Waugh kept barking on about "Khawaja is batting better than Lara, better than anyone probably, now or at any time. He has to be, because you can't bat any better than this." (probably was referring to Lara's hopeless t20 career), yet can't make it into this side.
-
Could pick him ahead of either of the Marsh brothers who for the life of me keep getting picked

Mark Waugh owns a stake in the Thunder so he'll always big up his own players. But Khawaja's form almost demands selection now that Finch is injured

Mitchell Marsh is 24 and has the time to upscale massively. In ODI cricket he's got a 100 and a 5fer so he's going ok. Shaun Marsh on the other hand...
-
Australia are playing some very inconsistent cricket at the moment.... Frustrating
-
Another injury for Australia as James Faulkner has been ruled out of the rest of the series with a hamstring injury. Injury list seems endless...anyway Victorian Marcus Stonis has been called up.

I think we all know why Shaun Marsh continues to get picked.....*cough*daddy*cough*
-
Stonis wasn't even bowling his allotted overs for stars in the bbl. is he really gonna relocate Faulkner and his ten plus death bowling??
Aussies bowling reserves are in tatters at moment.

Stonis is a batsman who bowls a bit. Not a proper all rounder like Faulkner. Surprised Watson was given another go TBH

You are right .. Given his innings in the last T20 game against India, i expected Watto to get a callback. He might have been a more equal replacement for Faulkner.
-
Khawaja finally replaces marsh. Zamba also going to be given a go, been impressed with him in the BBL.
Odd that they go with zamba for odi's and boyce for the 20/20's. Thought they might have stuck with boyce

Zampa has the potential to become an all rounder probably the reason he's getting a chance in the ODIs
-
Wake up this morning and Aussies 120 for 0.
Khawaja and Warner both 50s and only 18 overs gone chasing 281.
Come back from dinner and there 200 for 6!! Only need 82 of 92 balls but can't hey keep there wickets?
Looking at highlights and listening to commentary. Seems maxwell batted without a brain again.
3 quick wickets Warner at the other end on 70 odd and instead of loving it about he's tried to pull a full pitched ball and dragged on.
Is 5 to high for maxwell??
-
Maxwell, for me, is a 1 in 10 man. If he had any sort of consistency hed be such a player. This "big show" name tag really doesnt help him out.
He played at my local club last season, scored 5 against a junior team and from all reports is more bothered about drinking than he is cricket.

The Duke John Wayne Hastings and Mitchell Marsh guided Australia home to a comfortable victory. Record partnership to boot. Marsh looks the goods in ODI cricket
-
Yes, he looks more than solid now. Still a bit flat footed when he bats sometimes, but he seems to have avoided the dreaded 'that's the way I play' approach
-
I think Marsh is slowly getting more assured with the bat in ODI cricket. He's still a work in progress at Test level
-
New Zealand sailing towards 300 plus and then had a massive collapse to post a poor 241.
Australia still look in control. But maxwell does his best again to put a spanner in the works.
Duck off 2 balls. Pushing far to hard with that defensive shot well outside off.
Aus need 133 of 26 overs with 6 wickets left. Bailey and marsh at the crease
-
Controversy over the Mitchell marsh delivery!!
He was out, but umpires only referred it after the big screen showed a reply. Not sure nz really appealed either?
-
With wade gone, should be nz's game. Fitting way to send McCullum off
-
Good start by NZ but failed to keep up Baz's momentum. Easily should have been a 280+ target but Aus did very well to stop NZ below 250. Good start by Khawaja but no one else looked to put up a stand. Fighting innings from Marsh, once he was out the end was inevitable.
Fitting send off for Baz. Sad to see McCullum walking off his team for the last time in an one-day game ... :(
Next two test matches i am recording them to see Baz for one last time in whites ...
-
I remember last year Brendon McCullum commenting on the Ben stokes obstructing the field decision, questioning Steve Smith captaincy
and sportsmanship and how he would never do something like that today. Well Brendon you had your chance and you FAILED!
How the high and mighty fall in the space of a delivery. He questioned Smith's youth and inexperience as captain for his decision not to
withdraw the appeal. So... Brendon... Whats your excuse ?
Brendon MCcullum: "By not withdrawing the appeal, Smith showed his immaturity. He may live to regret it."
"Don't get me wrong: winning is important. But the longer you play this game the more you realize that some things
are too valuable to spoil."
"Smith missed chance to make statement about how his side could play" Brendon you had a chance to show how you
believe the game should be played even if it meant you may not go out on a winning note, something the cricketing world would have held
you in the highest of regard for and a much better legacy than going out a winner.

Sorry, have I missed something when I watched it live? It was clearly out, nothing to do with sportsmanship.
Henry appealed. The umpires messed up and didn't take it seriously when they should of done. It should of reviewed by the 3rd umpire in the first place. The crowd went berserk when it came up on the TV and the umps did what they should of done in the first place. McCullum has every right to point out the batsman was actually out. It's the umpires who make the final decision. Why should McCullum call somebody back who was clearly out? His team didn't Mankad him or throw the ball at the player. They simply got him out via the toe on the full, caught. Had the umps reviewed it straight away then none of this would of blown up.
-
Henry appealed and the umpires made the mistake by not checking. Nothing to do with McCullum. Right decision made at the endd of the day. As with the last eng vs SA ODI the umpires are showing their incompetency.
I thought smith showed his lack of class at the presentation. The crowd rightfully booed him
-
Agree with you about Smith.
When you appeal, you appeal to the umpire not to your wicket keeper and if that was an appeal
then we need not bother appealing anymore

He appealed, even if it was half hearted, he still appealed.
-
I don't think the veracity of the appeal should depend on the fielders' decibel count
