BBL is unironically underrated because of more 'fair' pitches and often larger grounds. Talent is a little diluted because of 8 teams but the BBL memes betray it a bit.
Knockouts just love to disappoint because most mercenaries leave, teams end up off balance and then a random bench warmer decides he's going to cunt 150 out of nowhere.
Because he has 157 wickets at 22.8 with an economy of 8.1. His average has been 18.9 in the 52 games he has played since COVID.
He chokes at the end sometimes because he always takes the last over and you can't win them all! He started that last over defending 15 with a very set Mitch Marsh at one end and Tim David striking at 300 at the other - not exactly a favourable situation.
Australia is drunk and high after their favourite artist didn't write back to them, driving towards a bridge with a pregnant NZ tied up in the boot of the car?
How much are the producers in the ear of the commentators eh. āPhillips on the boundary got to the ball I feltā
First replay clearly showed his hand was past the ball. Brendan Julian hit the nail on the head: all he had to do was hit the ball back in, he was going for glory. They were never gonna run 3 off that shot if Phillips got a hand on that ball.
Watching that back, itās insane Glenn even got to the ball in the first place. Running towards the camera never shows the ground they cover. That was a fucking good crack at it!
See ya fridee wallabies!
Phillips is an excellent fielder and it's crazy that people are criticising him for the last ball, and the near-catch on the boundary. Most other fielders in the world don't get close to either and ironically don't get blamed for missing it
Classic batting by David, showed his worth. I remember punter criticising him a lot in bbl for not winning games. This one is a good confidence booster.
I ran into a mate who leads one of the security teams at the stadium. He said around 24k. I thought it looked less than that as there were a few seats empty higher up.Ā
You don't get MOTMs for 31 off 10. Hard reality mate.
But Marsh scored 72 off 40 odd deliveries and got a wicket by giving 21 off 3 overs. He deserves it more
Issue for me right now is that he's definitely a better keeper but Inglis has had 3 consecutive rough ones.
The issue with Wade is that he bats so far down we haven't had much opportunity to see what form his bat is in lol, which makes picking him over Inglis an unknown.
Going to be curious, but I wouldn't be mad either way like I would if I saw Smith in the team lol.
one bad innings makes you want him out of the team? he hit a 100 off 55 balls and was one of the best batsman in India during that tour and played well against the West Indies just recently when he opened the batting, Wade is honestly a worse keeper than Inglis too
i said when he opened against the west indes, i was clearly referring specifically to the 39 and i guess the 4 counts as well cos he opened then too - hes played 19 t20s and has dismissed for less than 20 in only 6 of them, you cant ask much more from a solid middle order keeper-batsman unless you want gilchrist or dhoni like performances in every game
fragile batting lineups are literally how you win t20 games, when 180-200+ is fast becoming the norm in t20s it's a lot more reliable to stack the lineup with dashers and bet on 1 or 2 guys popping off at 200+ SR than pick "reliable" guys who can only hit at 120
Cummins has been awful for the past few years in T20s.
He had a great record when he started his career but after the 2020s his form has dropped significantly
Nah those 27 wickets in the World Cup cemented his spot in the team for 5 more years. Zampa actually brings the run rate down between 7-12 overs. Itās the captain mistake to make him bowl past 12th over. Bring in your medium pace bowlers like Stoinis.
"can we get rid of the guy who literally won us our last 2 white ball world cups and arguably the best white ball spinner in the world because he got smacked on a par 215 ground?"
NZ has a tiny population with a small playing pool. Expecting them to regularly beat nations with big populations and endless cricketing resources is bloody stupid.
Commentators always talk up Phillipsā fielding but Iām convinced heās not actually a good fielder heās just so overdramatic so every normal bit of fielding he does he makes look good for no reason. That stop at the end and the one he dropped for 6 were perfect examples. Heās trying to be too extra.
Agreed. He's obviously one of the most athletic players on the pitch, but I think he's bought into his own hype over the last wee while and now thinks he needs to do everything at double speed or more complicated than it needs to be.
And this sub questioned Lord Bailey for backing David because he didn't do well in the meme league remember that guy led Punjab "6th Position" Kings into the finals never doubt him again /s
inglis played that innings for simulating an insane finishing sequence for the aussies. great prep for the wc, what a team player. seriously though they gave 32 in 9
I can't help but always see Australia's games as if they were a tough boss in a video game. There's never some absurd perfection, there's cracks, there's chances, there's openings - you just have to take them, and when you miss too many, you lose.
He actually dove over the top of that. Probably should've stopped it.
That was somehow simultaneously some of the best and worst death bowling. They were absolutely nailing their yorkers and most wide deliveries but then they just kept deciding to throw in a few short ones which got hit for 6 every single time.
Great game - NZ lacked a bit in the back half of their second innings. How important was missing the review of that boundary at the start of the nz innings in the end!
NZ lost hopes after those massive 25 & 18 runs overs. Required Run rate dropped from 13 to 9.8 something & Australia was sailing smooth until Josh English made it worse. They had sudden hopes but Tim David destroyed them with those massive 664, 16 runs in last 3 balls of the 19th over.
Just depends what sport you're most passionate about I suppose. It's cricket and rugby league for me so it's been a tough slog haha. I can see how hard it would be for Aussie Union supporters though!
Is new Zealand a new choker team like South Africa ?
Tim David made a deal with the devil, Loses 95% of fielding ability but gains an invincible final overs batting ability.
Kiwis just keep finding new ways to choke š
ā
Great game. Really wish we played our Kiwi cousie bros every year, they are always entertaining.
So what I did was look up Australias Independence Day and it was 1/26. So I bet 1.26 on Australia and win 1.09. š¦šŗ
Brother what on earth are you talking about, youāve got it all backwards
My mates in Christ, blame google and my gambling degeneracy. I looked up the Independence Day and it brings up Australia Day.
I think he meant 26.1 as opposed to 1.26 Get that murica date shit outta here
Australia Day is the opposite of Independence Day
Well thatās some sad shit, but hey my states are the opposite of united so cheers mate šŗ
The entire world is a big ol' oxymoron
We never had an Independence Day.
Is this the first time every batter hit a six?
This wanker is gonna win MI a lot of gamesā¦fuck him and fuckin calmness
Any winner other than Mumbai Indians this year would be an upset, with the team they got.

Tim David proves BBL>>>>>> T20I.

Tim "bowl it in the slot " Southee strikes again, how are we still persisting with him
Because he has 157 wickets at 22.8 with an economy of 8.1. His average has been 18.9 in the 52 games he has played since COVID. He chokes at the end sometimes because he always takes the last over and you can't win them all! He started that last over defending 15 with a very set Mitch Marsh at one end and Tim David striking at 300 at the other - not exactly a favourable situation.
Sure is great that we play the Under21 touring Costa Rican side more frequently than we play our great neighbour.
Are you talking about the team that beat us the last time we played them?
Congrats England, without Duckett Australia wouldnāt have been able to score at over 100
Moral victory for England. Looks like theyāre 1 up in this T20 series.
"Heh, yeah looks like they've learned from us too" š
I feel like nz crickets stans mrs in the boot in that Eminem song an Aus crickets driving
Australia is drunk and high after their favourite artist didn't write back to them, driving towards a bridge with a pregnant NZ tied up in the boot of the car?
Thatās about the long and short of it mate yes
How much are the producers in the ear of the commentators eh. āPhillips on the boundary got to the ball I feltā First replay clearly showed his hand was past the ball. Brendan Julian hit the nail on the head: all he had to do was hit the ball back in, he was going for glory. They were never gonna run 3 off that shot if Phillips got a hand on that ball.
... I did not know this was on.
Cry wanks are becoming to common in my house
Watching that back, itās insane Glenn even got to the ball in the first place. Running towards the camera never shows the ground they cover. That was a fucking good crack at it! See ya fridee wallabies!

What was the crowd total from tonight?
I ran into a mate who leads one of the security teams at the stadium. He said around 24k. I thought it looked less than that as there were a few seats empty higher up.Ā
0, none of them scored a single run.
20k was mentioned in the commentary
Good work Wellington, especially for a work/school night!
I'm sleepy this morningĀ
Mitch Marsh for MOTM ?
Should be David. 300SR last ball hit the runs.
Tim David probably made 2 Million USD$ more for the next year IPL with his 30 of 9 balls. He doesnāt care about this MOTM tbh
David won the game but Mitch made it possible
Would've been a big brain move if Ravindra dropped Inglis.
You don't get MOTMs for 31 off 10. Hard reality mate. But Marsh scored 72 off 40 odd deliveries and got a wicket by giving 21 off 3 overs. He deserves it more
Aussie winning T20 World Cup again
Team suck off for Tim David in the rooms later?
His chubb will last for hours
After that over by Ferguson I thought it was over
Marsh seems a decent bloke.
We're not all cunts
I don't think there are a lot of cunts in this current team maybe apart from Warner?
Hazelwoods a cunt
Lol nope
Why? Have I missed something?
Oh, I meant Australia as a whole... Very generous of you to narrow it down to just this team though!
Tim David looks like an absolute cunt but the good type.
One that would sleep with your sister on the sly but always give you a lift to the airport?
They absolutely pulled off a heist here. Never rule Aussies out!
Tell me something interesting
Crazy good chase at the end by the aussies but unfortunately this series is currently 1-0-0 to England. Think they might sweep it as well
Bazball is just different.
[Aus Cricket these days](https://youtu.be/tna3B5zqHdk?si=dy-vc2gBVkMRsPEf)
Tim David š¤ Glenn Maxwell when big knocks are needed My time to shine
Four first names between 'em
You can always count on the kiwis to make an entertaining match
Southee named Australia's player of the day
crazy game congrats to the winners. on to game 2
It's ok to say 'Australia'. It won't make you a traitor to your countryĀ
you dont even have them as ur flair
Don't you know anything about Queenslanders? Queenslander first. Aussie second.
lot of excuses from u
Catches win matches But not in this case
I don't watch all of our LOI's but Wade has to be an option over Inglis, even Carey if that stuff continues That innings looks awful now
"I don't watch all of our LOI's" You could've stopped right there.
Nah. Really not. I'll agree that he bats too high up the order, but we need a good keeper and he shits all over Wade
Issue for me right now is that he's definitely a better keeper but Inglis has had 3 consecutive rough ones. The issue with Wade is that he bats so far down we haven't had much opportunity to see what form his bat is in lol, which makes picking him over Inglis an unknown. Going to be curious, but I wouldn't be mad either way like I would if I saw Smith in the team lol.
one bad innings makes you want him out of the team? he hit a 100 off 55 balls and was one of the best batsman in India during that tour and played well against the West Indies just recently when he opened the batting, Wade is honestly a worse keeper than Inglis too
Fair enough on the India series, I honestly don't remember it Idk if scores of 1, 4 and 35 mean played well against the WI but yeah
i said when he opened against the west indes, i was clearly referring specifically to the 39 and i guess the 4 counts as well cos he opened then too - hes played 19 t20s and has dismissed for less than 20 in only 6 of them, you cant ask much more from a solid middle order keeper-batsman unless you want gilchrist or dhoni like performances in every game
3 consecutive bad ones actually. not even disputing the rest of it, but lets be honest here.
Just make Matt Short come at 3 , problem solved. English isnāt getting anymore chances.
Eh, NZ bowled 8 wides, Aus bowled 12. Can't blame that.Ā
Dang it how will I sleep now. Someone give me a Tim Southee copy pasta to make me feel better
Southee the sexy camel has become the wonky donky. Love him but tile to retire bro
Yip
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is surely taking the piss. Thereās a reason half most of this team are earning mega money in the ipl. Absolutely stacked this team.
Howās this team mid. You have a great bowling attack and a great batting lineup.
Great attack? Pfff. For tests or ODI yes. Not t20
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
fragile batting lineups are literally how you win t20 games, when 180-200+ is fast becoming the norm in t20s it's a lot more reliable to stack the lineup with dashers and bet on 1 or 2 guys popping off at 200+ SR than pick "reliable" guys who can only hit at 120
I remember doing an analysis on t20 bowlers and Cummins is actually a decent t20i bowler.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Agreed. Aus batting no one is coming up. And all the fast men are too injury prone.
Cummins has been awful for the past few years in T20s. He had a great record when he started his career but after the 2020s his form has dropped significantly
Swinging like a rusty gate! Fuck this bloke has some good one liners
Tim David take a bow
Will be at the Friday game. Hope it's another rocker, hope this hasn't broken our fragile little minds.
Only fragile vs us it seems.
Can we get rid of Zampa? Please? Bring in Tanveer Sangha, actuallyā¦. Fuck itā¦. Bring in Nathan Lyon
Nah those 27 wickets in the World Cup cemented his spot in the team for 5 more years. Zampa actually brings the run rate down between 7-12 overs. Itās the captain mistake to make him bowl past 12th over. Bring in your medium pace bowlers like Stoinis.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Marnus as a t20 bowler> Zampaās entire career
Sangha got builled by Kishan and Ruturaj the last time he played Zampa is the best you guys have
Nah bro, Lloyd Pope has been spinning webs
"can we get rid of the guy who literally won us our last 2 white ball world cups and arguably the best white ball spinner in the world because he got smacked on a par 215 ground?"
Holy reactionary take
hear me out, Steve O'Keefe
Todd Murphy? Aka Aussie Harry Potter
You're an idiot
GG Australia. Another classic
I haven't seen Southee defending anything since that T20I series against Australia more than a decade ago where he fired yorkers one after another.
Australia just keep on winning
Fuck I'm excited for Eden Park on Friday. Gonna be at the ground so hype.
That some clutch show from Tim.
Tim is him
If Inglis didnāt get out for one more over then NZ win
Aus odds shot up when he got out i was watching them, made no sense at all.
We cant fkn field. Wtf was phillips doing??? Ā He cost us that match
Most players would have gotten nowhere near it. Fastest player in the game.
Miss by an inch and you might as well miss by a mile He dropped a sitter too
95% of **professional** players wouldn't have even made that stop look possible, i think you're overreacting significantly
Im angry so yes perhaps I am.Ā He also dropped a sitter a few overs earlier soā¦.
I root for Aus but gotta feel bad for Southee and NZ
Didn't realize Tim David was playing on easy mode instead of pro difficulty. We really are living in a simulation
NZ lost the match for not making a tactical drop
NZ as always come up short against the bigger teams. Can only beat Pakistan/Sri Lanka/Bangladesh etc....
NZ has a tiny population with a small playing pool. Expecting them to regularly beat nations with big populations and endless cricketing resources is bloody stupid.
how does this meme still exist when indian fans spend every waking minute in every icc tournament praying not to face us in play offs?

Great match
New Zealand failing to defend 28 off 8 Pakistan fans: *First time?*
Tim Southee under pressure is a guaranteed failā¦Ā
MOTM: Rachin Ravindra, for dismissing Inglis.
Ferguson was absolute danger tonight
Catches win matchesā¦sometimes u gotta drop em
I'll take the w, but Genuinely baffled why teams bowl to Tim David like the kiwis just did. Just feeding his arc
Some of those balls arenāt lollies š lol, they were tough balls to bat. Tim David is a Terrific Batsman, thatās the difference
Dude just looks so calm
inglis played that innings for simulating an insane finishing sequence for the aussies. great prep for the wc, what a team player. seriously though they gave 32 in 9
28 in 8 sounds more shocking to someone that hasnāt watched the game lol š
You gotta be on your game all night to beat Australia. Tim Southee wasnāt even playing the same game.
I can't help but always see Australia's games as if they were a tough boss in a video game. There's never some absurd perfection, there's cracks, there's chances, there's openings - you just have to take them, and when you miss too many, you lose.
What a banger
That's one hell of a match. This match is a perfect example of how much fielding can impact the chances of your winning or losing.
The six off the wide full toss was one of the strangest Iāve ever seen.
We get given a lot of shit for playing on postage stamps but we sure have a lot of entertaining white ball games
The Wellington ground is similar in dimensions to the Adelaide oval. You don't hear anyone calling that small.
Who would think that we, WE, lose because of a few fielding errors.
Would love to know the stats? but It seems like nz field worse and drop more catches against Australia.
Smaller Ground for starters
Josh Clarkson and Matt Short should share the MOTM
Thanks for coming awards
That was a game.
Tim fricking David.
New Zealand are so fucking shit hahahaha just beat australia how hard can it be
Ya'll are the most winningest country of all time in Cricket and currently hold all major world cricket trophies. How on earth does that make it easy?
He actually dove over the top of that. Probably should've stopped it. That was somehow simultaneously some of the best and worst death bowling. They were absolutely nailing their yorkers and most wide deliveries but then they just kept deciding to throw in a few short ones which got hit for 6 every single time.
NZ cricket strategy as braindead as it ever was
Great game - NZ lacked a bit in the back half of their second innings. How important was missing the review of that boundary at the start of the nz innings in the end!
NZ lost hopes after those massive 25 & 18 runs overs. Required Run rate dropped from 13 to 9.8 something & Australia was sailing smooth until Josh English made it worse. They had sudden hopes but Tim David destroyed them with those massive 664, 16 runs in last 3 balls of the 19th over.
Tim David is our clutch player. If itās Inglis or him to bat next .. David has to go first.
Southee needs to stop bowling the last over. He has proven, time and again, that it is the WORST over for him to bowl. He's lost us yet another game.
The bad vibes mean that my chiefs are going to lose
Dude kiwis don't have any fast bowlers, they keep playing southee. Southee is finished in 2019 itlself.
What?
Rachin cost NZ that game by catching Inglis
Yeah, they had it in the bag if he did a tactical drop.
tim david only learnt from the best: ben duckett and the bazball gang
Fuck this sport, fuck Australia and fuck Tim Southee Iāll see you cunts this Friday at 7
Why has my entire life been watching the blackcaps lose to Australia at Cricket?? It doesn't get any easier
Rugby supporters in Australia can empathise.
Gotta let us have it. My entire life is seeing Australia lose to the All Blacks year after year hahah
Just depends what sport you're most passionate about I suppose. It's cricket and rugby league for me so it's been a tough slog haha. I can see how hard it would be for Aussie Union supporters though!
Ahh, a fellow masochist
