There isn't any reason the Black Caps shouldn't roll this team pretty comfortably. Their batsmen especially are just bog standard test cricketers ( very similar to what NZ have fielded in the dark days ). Even the "next Lara" Darren Bravo has a fairly ordinary record after a brilliant start.
Kemar Roach is pretty dangerous and Holder is the glue that holds them together but you'd imagine away from home, fuck all class players.......always dangerous to say as a NZ cricket fan but this should be a bit of a caning.
You know it's your fault now if it all goes tits up....
I'm happy to shoulder that burden.
Holder would need to do a Beefy circa 1981 for them to win.
( which is tecnhically possible, he's a fine player )

Interesting that the original team that was listed on Cricinfo had Santner in the 11, but it's since changed and Mitchell is playing.
Tom Latham
Will Young
Kane Williamson
Ross Taylor
Henry Nicholls
Tom Blundell
Daryl Mitchell
Kyle Jamieson
Tim Southee
Neil Wagner
Trent Boult. -

They're aiming for 85 overs this afternoon...
Bemusing to see cricket stuck in the dark ages and not allow the use the lights later to ensure they do get the overs bowled...
The time wasting in cricket is ridiculous. It's nearly 1pm NZ time and not a single ball bowled....

Trent Boult.I'm loath to get TOOOOOOOOO excited so early on in a young fellas career.....but seeing Jamiesons name alongside the other established and accomplished pacemen in that lineup fills me with glee.

Just turned it on, where the fuck is the pitch?
I'm a bat first no matter what person but shit our quicks would have been licking their lips at the chance of a first crack on that.

@No-Quarter We've seen this before though in NZ. They can look worse than they are.
It seems to be doing a bit but not going all over the place. True, that our guys would have liked to bowl and might have been better at exploiting it.
Right now just keep wickets in hand.

uh, red ball? Need a horrible pink/white to be able to see the damn thing

Yeah but I think the idea is to "supplement" the light, not actually play in the dark. Should be plenty of light at 7PM, we are only a couple of weeks from the summer solstice.

ah crap, missed that entirely. They can't use the lights AT ALL? if so, I couldn't agree more with OP - that's stuck in the dark ages.
edit: @gunner sorry fella, didn't understand your comment
