Just cannot understand picking Latham' Conway, Kelly, Neesham and Clarkson is a bit of a nuffy selection at 8 as well.
Yeah - I don't really see the point in Tommy Latham. Even if he is legitimately in the best available eleven it's marginal - and he's not threatening the top eleven. Better to pick a project.
Don't mind Conway and Neesham.
We're going better in this one.
@Duluth said in Black Caps v SA:
I don’t think we have a thread for this?
Second T20 is underway
It got buried in the general NZ Cricket thread.
Not a particularly deep batting card tonight...
We were positioned to get 175+, but we're going to be a fair way short of that unless someone unexpected does something unexpected.
@MN5 said in Black Caps v SA:
Tom Latham and T20 are an uneasy mix.
Not only that - he's keeping on top of that
If anything you need proper keepers in T20 as wickets and run savings are at a premium
You are also missing out on giving a young keeper some more experience
Clarkson appears and decides to hit everything out of the ground in the final over, and suddenly the score looks a lot more competitive

Step up Clarkson

And Clarkson does!
Well done that man!
26 off 9 and we end up on 175 exactly!
I’m a bit late to the party, didn’t watch game 1.
Saw the second half of the innings.
Man did I get a shock when I saw T Latham’s name on the scoresheet. Why the fuck is he in the team? Reminds me of when we picked Mark Richardson in the ODI team.
Anywho… great to see we are back to fielding our 2nd or 3rd XI as soon as the World Cup is over 
Clarkson has looked pretty good domestically this season, nice to see him bringing that up to the next level.
