Slower ball done Kaia completely.

Time for the old guys

Brian Bennett is not a natural ODI player. He should focus on his strengths as a test match batsman and a T20 batsman. I would not want to see his confidence get eroded by a bad series. Dion Myers or Milton Shumba would be a better fit in this format.


You're taking the p**s, right?

p**s is getting censored


No. I was not.

They're going to give Taylor the next 2 games to prove himself. No point dropping him now

If he fails then that's it for him. It was a nice comeback story and today he surpassed Sachin in longest ODI career but we shouldn't be carrying him to the World Cup

He should never have come back

From what I have seen, Taylor is done. I hope he proves me wrong.

Nice little partnership between Craig and Raz.

Mitch Marsh still needs 2 overs from the part timers. We just need to keep going at 4 to 5 runs and not lose any wickets. When the part timers come on, we go after them and catch up with the rate.
