Black Caps v Ireland
-
Game three underway. Black Caps win the toss and bat. One change - Lockie back in for Duffy, so for whatever reason Tickner gets all three games.
Two early boundaries for Guptil that have teased the field for a catch, but safely made it. 12/0 after three.
-
Black Caps off to a solid start - 58/0 after 7 overs. Guptill 33 off 23, Allen 23 off 21
-
Finn Allen spoons one in the air, out for 33. NZ 78/1 off 9.2 overs.

Ireland get a bye and fall 1 short.
Damn.
Sounded sloppy on Cricinfo
Edit: sloppy by the kiwis
Threw a dodgy feed on for the last 5 minutes and got to the stage where I assumed we'd lose. They had 5 off 3 remaining with 2 wickets and our field had just dropped a catch to go for 4. How do we score 360 and almost lose? To Ireland?

So a convincing three - nil series thrashing of Ireland by one wicket, three wickets, and by one run...
And save Latham's blushes again.

We are not far off minnow status.

Yeah the Black Caps ‘depth’ is a contradiction in terms when good players aren’t there

Our rest and rotation policy assumes a depth that isn't there. And apparently gives the IPL franchises priority...

If not priority to IPL it's priority to the players having to rest after IPL
