Tour of Sri Lanka

I never knew that the players with 200+ ODIs have their number retired.
@Bovidae they would run out of numbers in India
-
Not sure how sustainable that 200 rule is. Theyve only been wearing numbers for twenty odd years and already have half a dozen retired.
@Cyclops A lot numbers aren't being used though due to the 2-year rule, including some low numbers. Guptill (179) will be the next to get to 200 matches followed by Williamson (149). None of the other current players have over 100 games so they won't have to worry about this for a while yet.

Yeah, very cool.
However the cynic in me says if Kane suddenly gets sick, he shouldn’t be taking sweets from strangers. I do feel quite protective of the little guy.

Funnily enough, Kane seems to be the most popular of all the big 3 (Root steadily working his way outside that group) across all fanbases - so I'd hazard he'd be a lot safer than the others from that sort of thing. I mean I've never seen anything like that for a New Zealand cricketer overseas before

Yeah, Kane does seem to be popular. Agreed about Root. Kohli has a massive population to draw from as fans, and I quite like him. Aussies don't seem to from the series a few years ago.
I wasn't entirely serious about him eating the cake, but I guess, one nut job?
I have also been to Sri Lanka many times - I am careful what I eat.1995 All Blacks deliberately poisoned, or just sick? I may be paranoid but it doesn't mean that they aren't out to get us. Kidding.

TAB paying $3:10 for the draw. Days and days of monsoon type rain forecast.
Aussie TAB paying $3.25. Do they not factor in the weather forecast?

Maybe they are more optimistic in a result

From cricinfo:
Kane Williamson calls right, New Zealand opt to bat. No prizes for guessing. Boult, Southee and their spin trio of Santner, Somerville and Ajaz Patel form their bowling attack. No place for Neil Wagner, Colin de Grandhomme, Todd Astle and Tom Blundell.

Wahhaaey!! Kane gets to sit down for the first 10 overs of a New Zealand cricket match !
And hopefully for quite a few more overs - as opposed to standing in the field!
