Btay Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 1 hour ago, Palfy said: We will have to make our first 6 overs in the power play count, something that NZ failed to do. If they keep us in the the mid thirties then we will struggle we want to be in mid fifties, we have good batsmen through the order, so we should go for keeping the run rate high even at the cost of wickets. So let's go for it you only have one chance. It’s easier said than done but your top order just need to go out and play their game, not the occasion. Even if 1 of your top order face 30/40 balls you’ll have a decent score. Romey 1878 and Formby 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not be the quickest but he's incredibly skilful and he's a fighter. It's a great combination and he'd be one of the first names on the team sheet for me.

They're playing in a completely different way than anything they did before, which is the reason they're winning. That's not form making them successful, that's the management which has then led to the better play and the form has come from that.

As Romey says, its all about the management. Its like chalk and cheese and McCullum and Stokes look made for each other. A lot of the matches we have won since they came in could have gone either way but it was their positivity on each occasion that got us over the line, when previously it would be our negativity that would have cost/lost it for us.

Love to see it fellas. I will be a keeping a closer eye on the English games though from now on. I have great memories as McCullum captaining New Zealand in which first for foremost, played the game in the right way but was also just very positive in his approach. I think you guys could be about to go on a very good run here & I hope it’s a long one with him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think credit goes to Abrar - amazing debut from him. Perhaps we should have started Rehan and matched debutant with debutant? Not out of it, yet, anyway, especially if we can get Babar out early tomorrow! Romey 1878, Palfy and MikeO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
