Wait til both teams bat on the pitch. We might get rolled for 26.

Guptil is our Michael Hooper, good for a couple of 1st half turnovers and then gets smashed in the second half....
Gone for 14.

Good win.
Unfortunately, we didn't learn much about our batting line-up except that Guptill is still finding ways to get out quickly and Nicholls isn't an immediate bust as an opener.
Given the Indian selectors something to ponder. Personally, I'd recall Kohli, Bumrah, Shami and Dhoni and see whether that makes a difference.

Also Kohli going home takes away a fair amount of interest. Beating them with no Kohli and Bumrah puts a fairly large asterisk next to the W.

Coming back to this - rolling them for 92 and then slapping them by 8 wickets goes some way towards removing that asterisk.
Also, we can now say to any arrogant Indian fans "you're nothing without Kohli", which is sure to rile them up a bit.

Some Indians genuinely believe he was better than Bradman.
The fluffybunny wasn't even the best batsman of his generation.

It really stood out how much better Nicholls is technically than Munro. He's come a long way in the last 12 months, I'd say he's a much better bet to open. He at least has the ability to score runs against the better attacks.

Yeah - although we already knew that. I'm much more interested to see his mindset and temperament tested when he's opening and we need to make 300.

Everybody back on the bandwagon!
Loving Nicholls opening the batting (and Munro being dropped). Posted that suggestion a fortnight ago and it's good to be proven right. God I'm awesome. Smash that like button. I think I have heat stroke.

I'm only liking it cos of the image.
No one likes a know it all.

Be interesting to see who makes the cut for the last ODI. CdG advanced his case, not sure Henry did. Would like to see Nicholls open the batting again, so not really sure if there is a place for Munro.
@Mokey esp if that lets us load the middle order with a few more all-rounders. Wonder if we might see Satner, the Neesh and CdG coming in after Latham. Although I'd go Neesh, CdG then Satner in terms of batting order. Or do we give Munro a crack lower down the order?
