James Neesham replies hilariously after a fan asked him to promote his batting order

James Neesham, the New Zealand cricketer, is mostly known for his humour on social media platforms. From time to time, the all-rounder churns out hilarious messages. The netizens have tried to troll him, but instead of stern reactions, he reverted with rib-tickling messages.

Recently, a similar incident took place and Neesham, as usual, didn’t disappoint by any means. One of the users asked the reason why he doesn’t promote himself up the batting line-ups.

The 30-year-old Neesham is mostly a lower middle-order batter and comes in when his teams are in need of quick runs in the second half of an innings.

In the meantime, the user took to Twitter and wrote, “Why don’t u promote ur batting order?” The Auckland-born had a funny reply up his sleeves. Neesham replied to the user and wrote, “What, like, on the radio?”

Neesham recently played for the Mumbai Indians in the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League. In the tournament, he got to play only a solitary game against the Chennai Super Kings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. He conceded 26 runs and couldn’t open his account with the bat in hand.

Last season, he was a part of the Kings XI Punjab, now Punjab Kings, but even there, he didn’t get a whole lot of chances to show his prowess. Back in March, he picked up a five-wicket haul in an ODI against Bangladesh in Wellington. But he didn’t get the Player of the Match award, which went to left-hander Devon Conway.

Neesham is currently undergoing his mandatory quarantine period after the BCCI postponed the IPL for an indefinite period of time. He needs to stay in isolation for a few days before he could roam around freely in New Zealand.

Neesham has featured regularly for the Black Caps for the last two years or so. In 12 Tests, 66 ODIs and 29 T20Is, he has scored 709, 1320 and 324 runs respectively.

Back in 2019, he was also a part of the World Cup final that the Kiwis lost to England. Neesham hit Jofra Archer for a six, but couldn’t take his team over the finishing line.
