:lol: Gotta love being a Black Caps supporter.

Hussein with the Hey Theo moment there bagging Santner and the NZ middle to lower order saying they would be the difference in the series as they did not look like they were capable of winning a game for NZ.

Nice one. Must be feeling a tit but to his credit he hasn't gone quiet.

Suck on that WASP!

Woakes chokes

:lol:

Fuk I thought Santner had blown it when he pissed around initially

Can't see us getting close from here. All out for 260.

He's channeling Chris Harris. Look for all the world like you've never held a bat for your first 20 deliveries, the bring it home with some ridiculous shots when all seems lost.

Good times.

Worth staying up to 3 AM for.

Yeh he kind of reminds me of Vettori being languid and ungamely but a bigger hitter

Ungamely is an interesting word. I assume it means non-sporting. Perhaps you were thinking of ungainly.

Good call.

That's a very good comparison.

I think Santa was 2 off his first 9. Then he just went bonkers.

I didn’t at all give it up 15 overs ago. I always believed.

Has Colin de Grandhomme ever delivered under pressure?
Nicholls needs more contributions too. At the moment it seems you can immediately write those two off when the innings needs rescuing

Colin de Grandhomme has played the innings of his life to help New Zealand secure a fourth straight victory over Pakistan as the home side got home with five wickets to spare.

With New Zealand in trouble, de Grandhomme smashed a half-century off just 25 balls to bat his side into a winning position. Alongside Henry Nicholls; the pair saw New Zealand home, notching up a match-winning partnership.

Nicholls himself also went past fifty in his most important innings yet, staying at the crease under immense pressure following the dismissal of his captain. After the game, Nicholls said his whole mindset was to build partnerships with the batsmen joining him.

Yes, well, apart from that, what has de Grandhomme ever done for the BCs?

He took 6/41 on test debut, and scored the fastest ever maiden test hundred. He also scored 74* in an ODI against Pakistan as recently as mid-January, after he returned from Zimbabwe following the death of his father. But apart from that, nothing much.

I guess you guys just glossed over the "under pressure" part of the question.

It was a "Life of Brian" question.

Munro averages over 50 in first class cricket, so hopefully they try and build him into a test player. He's 30 though, not sure what the hold up is.

nope.

He came in with 110 to get with 15 overs to go and 5 wickets in hand. Chasing that successfully should be expected at least 50% of the time.
It doesn't do enough to make up for all the non contributions

How many of the tri series games did we lose because our late middle order folded like a house of cards?
