Nobody watching this arvo's game?

Might be a bit of a damp squib.

Radar not looking promising.

MetService - Te Ratonga Tirorangi

Covers still on not looking great, 4.5 overs is all we might get.

Bovidae

Plenty of rain in the last hour, especially the last 30 mins. I doubt there will be any cricket for a while. A warm sunny day yesterday.

ARHS

@Bovidae was planning to head over for this until I checked the forecast. Glad I didn't.

Duluth

India: 1 Shikhar Dhawan (capt), 2 Shubman Gill, 3 Shreyas Iyer, 4 Suryakumar Yadav, 5 Rishabh Pant (wk), 6 Deepak Hooda, 7 Washington Sundar, 8 Deepak Chahar, 9 Umran Malik, 10 Arshdeep Singh, 11 Yuzvendra Chahal

New Zealand: 1 Finn Allen, 2 Devon Conway, 3 Kane Williamson (capt), 4 Daryl Mitchell, 5 Tom Latham (wk), 6 Glenn Phillips, 7 Mitchell Santner, 8 Adam Milne, 9 Matt Henry, 10 Tim Southee, 11 Lockie Ferguson

NZ chose to bowl

nzzp

strong bowling performance so far - fielding generally good (one drop aside)

bayimports

hoping for a couple more wickets to see who gets Arshdeep

...sniggers like a kid..

Mitchell appeal reviewed. Looked good but no sense in not reviewing. Maybe sliding...

right into middle stump.

Damo

Washington Sundar has let the side down a bit here. He should be farming the strike, not taking singles off the first ball of the over.

Damo

Reviewing an LBW when 8 down coz why not? is one thing.

Reviewing an obvious caught behind when you've obviously hit it and everyone is walking off is borderline abuse of process.

Canes4life

Allen and Conway developing a solid opening partnership.

Allen 45 off 47, Conway 30/43

NZ 85/0

Damo

Players are off with 2 overs needed to make a game. NZ well in control. Need 116 off 32 overs with 9 wickets in hand.

Hope they get back on.

Cyclops

And then don't get back on, so it's a no result. We were about 50 ahead on DLS. At least we were already leading the series.

booboo

Two overs short of a DLS victory.

NZ takes three match series 1-nil.

Fahnallan finds a little form.

Why play at home in Nov? (I know why ... but the weather ... )

Cyclops

I'm fine with the minimum over requirements, they have to have a cut off somewhere. The only change I wish they would make is that if you're ahead of what the target would be for a twenty over match you get the win. I guess that's tough to calculate because you have to make assumptions about wickets in hand.

That's all part of the DLS. But you say yourself: where's the cut off?

20 0vers today.

You could argue less. But what if you're on target after 9 overs when 10 is the cut off?

Does know one watch cricket any more? Spark Sport seems to have reduced interest in the game.

Back on this. For me it's the balance of the calendar.
Still no tests for 3 months yet, so no incentive to put Spark back on yet for me.
If they had a balanced calendar - like a test series, then a plethora of white ball (as per current satus quo) then another test series late in the season - I'd have the subscription back on, and would keep it on during the white ball stuff, as not bothered to suspend it.

I don't hate T20, I put Sky back on for the first time in a year partly for the T20 world cup . But have zero interest in watching another 3 months of it solid.

@Rapido Boxing day test agianst Pakistan? 3 and a bit weeks away?

There’s too much of it and it doesn’t really mean a hell of a lot to me.
