Black Caps tour of India - 2026

[Gunner]

What a shit show of a last over was looking like… until the last 2 ball… 4 dots, 3 singles turned down.

337 after being 5/2, you grab with both hands, but I feel those last 7 overs were a let down after Mitch & Phillips’ great partnership.

Fuck, both set batters go within a few balls of each other. That’s happened a lot recently with the BC’s.
Could cost us 20-30 runs

Yeah sorry I had to pop out, seems I'm the anti-booboo.

[Bones]

A part time amateur would be embarrassed by that Hay.

Lucky escape

[Darren]

Anyone watching this? It could be something special…. I actually got up at 1am my time to put it on.

[Bones]

@Darren yep! India were going too well so I had to stop sorting the loft so we could get some more wickets.

[Bones]

Kohli and Harshit remonstrating with both umpires, lying that a ball was over head height. I thought that is extremely frowned upon in cricket? Or is India allowed to do it?

[Bones]

Guess it doesn't matter if kiwi bowlers are just gonna shit the bed.

[Bones]

Fucking abysmal. Surely you just need to get full on the wickets to Harshit?

[Bones]

Zac salvages a little bit of pride. No idea why a tailender is having a swing at something well down leg side though.

[Bones]

Never in doubt.

[Bones]

What a day for Phillips.

[Darren]

Wow. Hard to believe we just won our first one day series win in India? With that bowling lineup. And then Bracewell leaving the field unable to bowl.
What a crazy win.
And Mitchell….. dude is a straight beast at the moment.

[Shekou man]

Watching in Thailand, bloody awesome from our boys so proud.
A few errors but for an under strength team that has to rate up there with some of our best wins.
I suspect India will be shy of playing us any time soon as they must be sick of being our bitch by now.

[Bones]

Might have been a bit less heart in mouth if Hay had taken a regulation catch early on instead of the slightly harder leg side catch towards the end.

[Virgil]

Fair to say Mitchell likes batting against (especially in) India in ODI's

[Bones]

@Virgil considering today's venue is child's play for big scores according to sub continent commentators today, it's disappointing he's not the top 5. Must do better.

[Virgil]

Had a look, if he can score another 100 in his next ODI innings he will tie the record for quickest (least innings) to score 10 x ODI's 100s
The record is 55 held by SA's Quentin de Kock

He's south African, you don't need the Quentin bit.

[Bovidae]

A fantastic result on that pitch, and after the poor start.

Of the newbies, Lennox was very good in his two games - very economical. Spinners get found out quickly over there. Clarke also looks to be a handy option for the future.

[LABCAT]

Latham should probably go down to six when he comes back.
