Blackcaps v Sri Lanka

Pretty comfortable in the end. I have no idea what our likely world cup squad is but Young helped his claim tonight.

Hard to know as it seems our top players are always rested from ODI’s unless it’s the World Cup.
You’d have to assume Conway, Williamson, Phillips, Santner, Southee, Ferguson, Boult (maybe) all walk straight into the starting team if they’re fit.

I think our likely top 11 for India will be:
Allen
Conway
Williamson
Mitchell
Latham
Phillips
Bracewell
Santner
Henry
Ferguson
BoultSodhi obviously goes and plays when we think three seemers is a waste of time.
Souther obviously also goes as the backup seemer.
Young is first choice for batting cover so he goes too.
Blundell most likely gets to be back up keeper (although with Conway and Phillips maybe he misses out).
It would seem the only real positions in doubt are Blundell's and Boult's (contracting reasons).
If Boult doesn't get selected, it's probably Shipley or Tickner. If Blundell doesn't go then it's probably Nicholls, although Chapman could be an outside chance as he can bowl some spin ( don't think he'll get picked though as didn't even get a game against Sri Lanka).

Well, there's some bad news on that front

@Wairau absolutely if turns out it is ACL, doesn’t look good
-
just over halfway through the SL innings in the first T20
SL smashing it at 119-3 after 11.4
Lister and Milne getting smoked, going to have to be great effort from NZ to get back into this
-
Some shocking bowling from NZ, just spraying it all over the place.
Without Looking, we’d have bowled close to 10 wides already too - the last one I’m not sure how it could be called wide when it was 10cm inside the ‘wide’ line.
Should be a fun chase

@Gunner agree, some great hitting, but some really erratic line and also length misses..hopefully we also fire with the bat
-
SL end up with 196-5 which is going to be a competitive total, NZ lucky it wasn't more quite frankly

Nope.
Siefert and Bowes back in the hut. -

Been released to the IPL. A bit sad but hopefully with an eye towards the world cup in India and getting them match practice in those conditions rather than a sign of player's priorities.
