Black Caps v Bangladesh

[Godder]

I think if they are now preparing for the World Cup, they need to play as they would at the World Cup, so if bowling first is correct for the conditions, do it, and if moving towards a clear win, presumably in England they would continue with Taylor in similar circumstances.

So I guess to what degree has this season has been......

a) Black Caps being very good

b) India being off the charts

and c) Sri Lanka/Bangladesh being shithouse

I'm picking major elements of all three.

HaHa, the Saffas might debate you on (c)

3rd ODI is underway, good thing is we are batting first
26/1
No surprise Munro has gone early, fair to say he won’t be heading to England in a couple months time...
Edit: great thing is Nicholls is in early enough to be considered an opener..

Yeah Munro isn't making the CWC squad now. Probably opens up a slot for Sodhi if Stead wants to take three spinners to the CWC.

8,000 ODI runs for Roscoe

I still reckon he'll make it. they've invested alot in him.

this is such a fantastic effort and massive for anyone let alone a Black Cap. GOAT at ODI level ? I think so. Given he walks into an all time test team too I'm gonna go on record saying she's gonna be a sad day when he hangs up the pads.

[Gunner]

Terrible death batting so far.

Last two overs gone for only 5 runs. Not good enough fullas.
Time for Tom to start swinging the bat too.

[Sneakdefreak]

It's pretty good that our bowling unit are decent lower-order batsmen. CdG and Santner have pushed us to 319 with an over to go.

[Virgil]

330/6
Least 100 runs too many for the bangles you would think.

If Neesham, CDG can come off more often then not that gives us a potent lower middle order for the WC

weird scoreboard. No big individual efforts but enough decent contributions and by the looks of things some big hitting from the Neesh and CDGH.

I applaud your bravery in going out on a limb like that

I think he's in, as well.

First choice XI - Guptill, Nicholls, Williamson, Taylor, Latham, Neesham, CDG, Santner, Henry, Ferguson, Boult

Spare batsman/allrounder - Munro
Spare keeper - Seifert
Spare seamer - Southee
Spare spinner - Astle

Proviso that Sodhi or Milne might yet take one of the spare slots - but, I can't see really see an alternative to Munro - unless Corey Anderson suddenly comes good. Even then - he's not going to cover the top order batting spots.

No saying I agree with it. I just can't see them getting rid of him this late in the piece.

[Gunner]

Southee has found a touch of form, currently 3/1 from 2 overs, not a bad start.

[Sneakdefreak]

The Bang Bros are trying to match Oman's score against Scotland.....

[Gunner]

Another catch grassed by the Black Caps.
Southee should have 4/22, instead he's 3/32 after teh dropped catch went for 6, then the next ball hit for 4.

How many bloody catches have the BC's dropped this summer?

[Virgil]

Southee gets a michelle.. a very expensive Michelle

[Virgil]

Oh and the banger who scored his ton, has he been watching too many David Warner highlights?
Anyone would have thought he scored a match winning 100...
