Black Caps v India

...and that was simultaneous with hitting the "Submit" button!

haha buuuurn

where's that "what's wrong with Aussie Cricket" thread?

Indians will have a freakishly strong batting lineup....nothing new.

....they'll also have an ordinary bowling line up....nothing new.

Exploit the latter as best you can BCs.

fuck this looks even better today. Bra-fucking-vo

Southee and Ferguson have both already had lives.

Stead and McMillan will be earning their salaries over the next few days!

Bloody awful batting performance.
It’ll take an extremely special bowling performance to get us out of this little pickle.

157 is defendable. In a T20.

Shit.

Taylor showed again he is our second best batsmen

I guess over the next week or so we find out whether we were flat track bullies vs Sri Lanka - and whether Australia is as far behind the pack as they’ve looked this summer, or not....

Need Boult and Southee to rescue this one.

Must feel so cool that you get to win the internet. I wish I was you.

Piss poor village venue

@mariner4life Were these shadows supposed to happen in the dinner break?

Chris B.

Don't think this pitch is quite as good as it was billed - holding a bit.

The Indian openers had several mishits before tea that didn't go to hand and Kohli just drove Santner aerially through extra cover that was either perfectly threading the needle or had his heart in his mouth.

Well we did the "get kohli for less than a hundred" bit

Little Kane > Kohli...

I'll take whatever pyrrhic victories are on offer in this thrashing!

Too good for Munro.

Cue @shark!

Hahaha well yes, most decent bowlers will typically be too good for the archetypal FTB

Next two matches at NZ's premier one day ground!

Watch out for future quiz questions on "sun stops play" - amazing there was an over reduction on such a day!

I'm going on Saturday - hoping India bat first to avoid what happened yesterday

I think it is sold out too?

If you get a chance, go and get some food from "Big Smoke BBQ Co." as I think they are catering there.

They did for the Sri Lanka matches

He might test the selectors' patience shortly!

I think I'd go with the same top 6 for the next game - Sodhi will probably come in since the tracks are supposedly going to be spinner friendly. I'd probably bring him in for Southee for this game - give Bracewell another shot at proving he can bat, plus see how he goes bowling 10 overs.

Third game, the axe might have to drop on a couple of non-performers!

I see Kohli is now going home after the first three ODIs.

Looks like the BCCI has decided we're a bit shit!
