The NZ dislike of Oz over the underarm business has a twist to it.
Doug Walters said that it was lack of skill on NZ’s part and made a video to prove it.
He had an underarm delivery bowled to him under similar conditions. He advanced three strides down the pitch and let the ball hit his foot. He flicked it into the air & hit a six. At the distance down the pitch where the ball hit his foot it could not be given LBW.
That’s Douggie.

It appears that Tier 2 countries like England and NZ have decided that they need to do something a bit different if they want to beat Tier 1 countries like Aus and SA, if they win the toss decide to bowl.

Ah well, The scorchers game on Boxing Day was great up until they batted. Hopefully they can up their form for a better season.
I watched the game on TV. It went well up until the 19th over. :)
Hopefully, but I am not placing any great hope on it. They can’t bat second. I’m on the Thunder to win the tournament this year. Hence the second team thing.
