      First ODI starts tonight. Black Caps definitely light on experience for this series. No Southee or Williamson who headed home after the tour of Pakistan.
      The last time New Zealand played an ODI in India without Tim Southee or Trent Boult in their line-up was in December 2010.

      New Zealand (probable): 1 Finn Allen, 2 Devon Conway, 3 Mark Chapman/Henry Nicholls, 4 Daryl Mitchell, 5 Tom Latham (capt & wk), 6 Glenn Phillips, 7 Michael Bracewell, 8 Mitchell Santner, 9 and 10 two out of Henry Shipley, Doug Bracewell and Jacob Duffy, 11 Lockie Ferguson.

        It's an absolute joke that Nicholls is in the squad and Will Young is at home.

        I wouldn't be getting my knickers in a twist usually over a meaningless ODI series, especially if said player may/would have been on the bench (like Nicholls was on the Pakistan leg), rather than playing actual cricket at home (like Young). But, with Williamson missing the India leg , what an absolute waste of an opportunity. Gaping hole there at number 3/4.

        Very, very poor by Larsen/Stead.

          "Absolute joke" is probably too strong.

          Nicholls is a good player with a good record, and all .....

          But they are wasting Young's talents.

            Nicholls is proving to be pretty shit away from home.

            But in typical fashion once back in NZ he’ll be on the verge of being dropped but rack up a massive score at home featuring six dropped catches and two successful LBW reviews.

                As a series in of it's own, none. There's no point in any bilateral white ball series anymore. They are just filler. And money for the hosts.

                But, there is an extremely major ICC tournament happening in India later this year. So, from that POV there is huge value for about 60% of this squad.

                      Damn, Latham misses both a catch and a stumping chance.

                        Damn. Tommy dumps the edge (and misses the stumping), then Gill brings up 50 with a six

                                  You can't ship a double century to an Indian batsman in India and expect to win an ODI.

                                    Sheesh an over to forget for Finn.

                                    Needed him to stick around with a massive total to chase.

                                      No chance of us winning really, but Bracewell is playing a beautiful innings here.

                                      Hard to underestimate my anger of learning the game is live on youtube after reading it was on ESPN only early this morning. Would have been great to watch the 200 innings.

                                        Bracewell 103 off 57. Got there with a 6.

                                        His IPL price just sky rocketed.

                                          50 for Satnav

                                          Partnership of 153 off 98 balls.

                                            India woken up again.

                                            Santner goes for 57, I think. Trying to slog over. 59 off 26 needed and India have relearned how to bowl balls which can't be put away.

                                              Shipley (who??) bowled second ball.

                                              Oh well, it was fun whilst it lasted.

                                                    Only way to win is Bracewell gets them all.

                                                        20 off the last over needed. Poor last over for us, only 4 runs.

                                                          All over. Bracewell out lbw (plum).

                                                          Fantastic chase, wasn't to be, but brilliant watching.

                                                                That's a scorecard that really makes you wish you'd watched the game - but 9pm - 6am is not a fantastic time for a Kiwi audience.

                                                                219 required in under 22 overs with 4 wickets in hand when Satnav walks out to join Bracewell - taking it to the last over is an epic achievement.

                                                                        219 required in under 22 overs with 4 wickets in hand when Satnav walks out to join Bracewell - taking it to the last over is an epic achievement.

                                                                        I’m disappointed I missed it. I fell asleep about the 37th over and Bracewell and Santner had just started going.

                                                                        Im genuinely shocked how close we got and we’re still very much in it come the final over.

We visited a village in Jodhpur armed with cricket bats and balls because the locals literally had nothing. The kids were overjoyed, the parents not so much as it ended up being a massive distraction when it was time for them to do their homework.

We visited a village in Jodhpur armed with cricket bats and balls because the locals literally had nothing. The kids were overjoyed, the parents not so much as it ended up being a massive distraction when it was time for homework.

                                                                              As a country, I love India and there is something so majestic about the place, but it definitely has its demons.

                                                                              Yep that sums up India great place to visit,And if you are involved in Cricket over there it is amazing.
                                                                              I saw a lot of joy over there through my cricket involvement and some sad things I will never forget that burned into my soul a bit.

                                                                              I did 2 stints in Hyderabad at the Hyderabad Academy loved the place apart from the man made lake in the middle the Sulpher was a bit much at times and 2 in Mumbai Academy a beast of a city.
                                                                              Scary trying to get across any road in Mumbai but loved the Tuk Tuk rides better than a rollercoaster.
