Black Caps v Ireland v Bangledesh ODIs

Wow.....who is pumped for this HUGE tri-series? Starts Friday!!!!
I didnt even know it was on until I had the black caps (well non IPL playing ones) join me in the emirates lounge on saturday night. Shared the same flight as them to Dubai and had a bit of a yarn to a few them at the in-flight bar in the A380. Taylor said he hadn't played cricket in dublin before and didnt really know what to expect.
Had a quick look at our squad and its not particularly strong with no Kane, Guptil, Boult, Southee and prob a few others too but its Ireland and Bangladesh......if we cant beat these fellas.......

Looking forward to seeing this and learning more about the game. It's on my doorstep here in Malahide and no doubt the players/fans might frequent the local for one or two. Weather has been superb for the last week or so - hopefully it continues.

Good yarn JK but I'm not sure how it rates alongside breakfast with a couple of AB reserves?

Depends who the reserves are I guess! Had breakfast with Joseph Parker once.
Was bit of a crackup actually as they all came in to the lounge in their black caps gear but once on the plane it was shorts and t-shirt for most and bare feet! All good dudes. Made flying solo a tad more interesting.

Ask @jegga I'm sure he'll tell you the story (again and again)

First game about to start and we've Latham has lost the Toss and we will bat with him and Ronchi opening
Ireland playing their 4th ODI in 9 days so rotated their squad a bit. It's only NZ after all
-
-
I think, if you're running a straight audition for a keeper/batsman who's going to open with Guppy, then the first round is a points victory for Ronchi.
Scored more and faster than Tommy.
So far Rossco (not surprisingly) is looking pretty effortless and Worker is struggling a little bit.
-
So we managed 289 with broom top scorer on 79 and worker and taylor also getting 50s.
Now we have a rain delay at Ireland at 90/2 after 20 and 9 behind under the DL

Very civilised.

@Kiwidom what was the atmosphere like at the game?
@No-Quarter Good atmosphere, but not rowdy like a game at home or in England for example. There was a group from the Wairarapa near us who were mates of Seth Rance and had flown over especialy for it. They were on the juice quite early and provided a bit of entertainment, but that was it really. Joe Schmidt and Isaac Boss were also spotted in the crowd.
