Black Caps v India

[mimic]

@MajorRage Kane has basically been opening with Munro in the squad.
Kane was also very successful, imo, when he was opening in the T20s.

Latham is not the answer as opener.

@canefan Brett Lee seems quite the cock huh.

Almost as bad as the triumvirate of cocks standing at the bowlers end

@Mokey said in Black Caps v India:

@Donsteppa "Toughen up"??? What an idiot comment by the mayor. If you can't fucking see the ball it impacts both the batting and fielding sides and makes play dangerous. It's like driving a car at certain times of the year, the setting sun can be really harsh and blinding. For everyone. Nothing to do with how tough you are.

Awkward situation, some might say they were

Holy shit this tune is a banger although one must wonder what drugs they were on when they wrote it.

Piss poor village venue

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

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

Looks like it is sold out - just tried to buy one more ticket.

I had Asian food last time, I'll check out the BBQ

Eagles of death metal do a great cover as well

[dogmeat]

White Ferns got smashed by India as well

[dogmeat]

Not as off topic as Manfred Mann

Some consolation available by following the Poms getting butt-fucked in Barbados Rolled for 77 Windies currently 280 odd in front with 10 wickets in hand - still Day 2

I went to bed in 2019, woke up and it was the mid-1980s!

Today's the day we find out how good our cricket team is.

A little bit exciting actually

[nzzp]

@Siam I'm looking forward to it. Will be good fun

[newsjunkie]

Let's hope India has to bat first today.

[newsjunkie]

Virat choosing to bat first clearly for practice purposes, almost taking NZ for granted a bit.

[hydro11]

India on top. Will be tough for Sodhi and de Grandhomme to bowl to set batsmen.

[newsjunkie]

NZ have done well not to let it get away from them. So far.

[Squirrel]

It just feels like the match is in a holding pattern. Either waiting for India to get out of second gear or NZ to take a couple of wickets.

[hydro11]

If this continues, we will be looking at chasing 350+.

[hydro11]

Finally got one.

[Squirrel]

Stasguru tells me that NZ has given up 350 plus in ODI cricket nine times, for 1 win and 8 losses.

The highest score we have given up in NZ is 392 in Christchurch to India on 8 March 2009, when Tendulkar made 163 (off 133 balls)

Taylor, Dhoni and Guptill all played in that match.

[Squirrel]

This is great death bowling by the craps
