I believe you can check it on ESPNCricInfo. Might need to play with some of the filters to get what your looking for.

I dont think it can be done by team and contest though. I only use cricinfo as generally its really good. I will play around with it. 

Off the cuff. did Latham score more than a sub 50 start? I dont think being down the line suits his style although I think Williamson should open in ODIs with Latham, Rachin to 3, Young to 4 and debateable Mitchell or GP to 5. Im not sure how much longer Latham and Mitchell will play for. Which is why trying to put a team on paper is kind of a moot point going forward. But red ball wise, I think she are in good shape. And whilst we didnt win the CT, we got there by putting good scores on backed up by quality bowling and fielding. Just 50 runs short of victory in the one, important match.

Looking at the recent batting scores for Tom Latham 14 (India) Final, 4 (South Africa) Semi Final, 14 (India) Group Match. 

 

Scored 14 against India both final and group match.

I think the young guys will force their way through. BJ Jacobs is putting on handy scores for Auck in first class and he is machine in T20, early days but got picked up for the IPL. IMO a player to watch. His ODI domestic averages oddly do no mimic either his FC or his T20.... But watching him live, when he hits the ball, its that crack sound like something was snapped or like the end of a whip, lightning sound. He will take over from the mass exit of internationals for Auck. Player to watch.

I also have faith in Mitch Hay with some quality coaching could end up being that bookshelf that Watling was, that we hoped for far too long that Blundell would be. but he wont block it, he is a quality striker of the ball, he like Rachin needs to hit the ball along the grass as sooner or later you find a man playing in the air.

Fantastic game yesterday if you are a big hitting lover.

I feel NZC are trialling our 2nd 11 and 3rd 11 because regardless that is how many quality T20 players we have now.

IMHO Seifert and Finn Allen are cemented in the opening, they may not always pull it off but it feels to me both players have matured in their Circuit playing and now available for NZ have shown that, instead of just trying to tonk unhittable balls, they very much picked the balls to hit and they were hit in excess of 110m at times. Given Seifert blocked the first over, they scored 60 off the next 24 balls and went on with it to break the Worms back.

What an awesome pace attack we are building, which transfers to red ball cricket. Sears always goes for a few but got 2 big wickets, Duff similar. Those darn Kooka balls are so inconsistent with swing, of all days I expected the ball to hoop today. Foulkes is really good when its swinging, but he needs to learn what Southee had to, how to bowl a good cutter and varying pace when there just isnt the expected swing.

So for the Aussie Boxing day Tour, Kyle Jamieson, Matt Henry, Will Orourke, Duffy. Sears in reserve/12th, do we play at the Wacca? I think Sears would be lethal there and Brisbane. 

Back to T20, I thought Hay and Mitchell assessed the excellent start well and coasted us to victory. Which raises another question, do we pick the Wicket Keeper Batsman in Hay or do we go back to playing Latham part time WK batsman. Both can clear the rope with ease when needed. Tough one. And do we keep Mitchell and drop Williamson..... and then there is the black sheep, Bevon John Jacobs, where he fits in T20s post circuit play.

What an insanely well timed innings from Mitch Hay, to finish 99No with a 4 off the last not a 6, 2nd most 6's by a NZ WK in an inn. He was like 30 off 50 at one point. 2x 6's in a row made some big overs. NZ at one point were looking lucky to make 200.

Abbas was unlucky to get out on 40odd after his good debut, he is very impressive off of the Super Smash season. A shame for Mariu on debut not to get a big one, but hes proving himself in first class so Im sure it will come.

 

Its a lot of fresh talent coming through, the only one Id love to see get a go also is B Jacobs, but he got a IPL gig after only 20 domestic T20s and 5 FC matches, but he certainly can clean hit it. 

NZ's next era team is starting to come together nicely. 

Surprised with how consistent F Allan, Seifert and Chapman were in the T20 series for Nicholls to be playing and failing again. Chapman played first match so thought he would be available.

Looking forward to the pace of our quicks in the reply.

Chapman is injured and may play in the 3rd ODI but highly unlikely cause of a hamstring injury. Glad to see Hay finally batting well this ODI just missed out his 100 by 1 run stuck on 99. I believe they can defend 292 but depends on how the pitch plays in the next innings. If there is a bit of swing early in the innings I see Duffy being able to exploit it. Need to get the top 5 batters out cheaply.

agggh I missed that news. Yeh poor Hay but smart bowling a delivery up full knowing he would be looking for a 6, not that he wouldnt have been anyway, did well to get 4 in the end off it. its kind of good having such a weak batting lineup to see Hay have to produce some longer innings just to show ppl what he is really capable of, I can see him scoring big ones in Test cricket if hes given the chance. 

I think it should move, at least off the deck, they got a lot of assistance hence our top order out in the teens. It is overcast and lights are on though so should swing. But Kooka balls, who knows ;-p

Well that was the most bizarre match. Firstly I do not remember a day time ODI played start to finish under lights. 

All the wickets up top on both teams then the mid to low order getting runs. I didnt see Nick Kelly bat, missed the start, but he got us off to a flyer with the rapid 30 odd.

Orourke for me was best bowler but only the 1 wicket. He reminded me a lot of KJ today with both the inswinging yorker which I didnt know he had and that steepling bounce hard for batsmen to see coming, they would be a handful bowling together, plus his excellent channel bowling.  But happy for Sears to get a 5fa. Duffy was excellent up top with the swing and pace. Pretty good all around.

 

Well worth the watch.

I just track series via cricinfo and put it in my calender. The thing is, its a good thing for all young kiwis to see NZ's cricketing heroes, not everyone can afford Sky. But it is what it is.

 

We have one more, 3rd ODI at the Mount on Saturday (weather provided). Good ODI ground. Hamilton is in the top 3 home team win % in the world, I never knew that. But the ball was doing way too much, luckily Hay applied himself and set a huge score for a 220-240 ground.

The Mount is way more placid with small boundaries. No doubt Pak will be looking to leave on a high. Babar's stats are insanely good. 

NZ are back in the top 3 now, playing with experimental development squads much like the T20 series. So many options in white ball now and plenty of good Test debutants in the waiting it feels.

I hadnt heard of that, nice one.

 

Good talk from O'roruke about his ability to get bounce like KJ, but also asked about that inswinger like KJ (althogh he delivers it from wider out), he said his seam presentation is just suitable to it. But I love that he can also just put ball after ball biting off the deck into the channel of darkness (4th/5th stump).

Nice and Sunny in Tauranga today so should be a good match. Coin toss should be pretty soon.

Edit: correction, had rain prior day and the pitch was looking greasy so a pitch inspection at 11am as the blower is being put across the pitch to dry it out a bit.

Seifert into the team. Daryl Mitchell must be bowling today?

 

edit: oh no, Abbas will likely bowl a full amount.

 

Pak win the toss and with a soft slightly grassy wicket they have correctly chosen to bowl first. 42 overs each. Could be a low scorer with wickets for the Bowlers. But until they play ya never know.

 

Hope Seifert has a good one, he was awesome in the T20 matches. Its good to have a T20 specialist in an ODI team imo.
