Oz in NZ ODIs, Jan 30-Feb 5

[GarlicJam]

Boult saves a few NZ blushes. 289 - a very defendible score, but also a very achievable target, especially with the small kiwi grounds.

its a score that keeps them in the game at least, at one point i thought they were gonna struggle to get 250

Good to see Aus thrash NZ in the replay from years ago.

[rich1uk]

[rich1uk]

terrible shot from Head after losing a wicket earlier in the over

Without Warner and Smith, the long batting lineup of Aussies will be tested well.

I was going to make comment on the big ask of Heazlett on his debut.


Not impossible, but exceedingly unlikely.

they just said he hasn't even played a 50 over game for his state side, someone really taking a punt on him

They both along with Head played so many overs, now the replacements are struggling to occupy the crease at top. No wonder lower order will get chance to prove themselves in this series.

[meninblue]

6 down now.

[GarlicJam]

A 200 run defeat is the first thing to avoid.....

Further to your efforts earlier, Rich and AC: a very good fifty from Stoinis. Has done his one day squad membership no harm at all, today's efforts.
