3 wkts for McClenaghan .... NZ won by 8 runs

McClenaghan did a wonderful job, it was a surprising decision by the skipper Williamson to take him among regulars like Southee and Bolt. He is going with his instincts rather than old and tried formula. Good luck to him

We cannot call these decisions "surprising"

They are Calculated

Pitch needed a speedster and Kane/ Kiwis obliged !

Australia, by comparison, seemed confused at the selection table.

They picked two specialist spinners to complement allrounder Glenn Maxwell

but those two men - Ashton Agar and Adam Zampa - bowled only one over each. :-\


Sending Faulkner the batting finisher AFTER Agar (9 off 8balls)

was a Smiff brain fart 

Can this Strategy be PATENTED and COPYRIGHTED ?? 

Everyone wanna copy  :-[

New Zealand's women's team also fielded three spinners in their big win against Australia today in Nagpur.

getting a bashing right now

Pakistan bats are the BEST players of SPIN.

Kane Williamson's crew were playing in their fourth venue, but looked right at home.

They picked three spinners on a "very dry surface"

and their batsmen were careful not to overreach..
