*Official* India Tour of New Zealand 2019

[NZTailender]

Maybe some of these All Blacks should make our WC squad.

Nathan McCullum's brother goes okay for a rugby player; they should think about getting him in for Munro.

Time to give Southee a break and unleash our twin spin option. Unfortunately, Craig McMillan said yesterday that the selectors will never drop Munro and his position is guaranteed until he retires or dies (whichever comes first), but what does he know. This is the team I'd like to see today:

Guptill
Latham
Williamson
Taylor
Nicholls
de Grandhomme
Santa
Bracewell
Sodhi
Ferguson
Boult

I'd like to see this team today:

Guptill
Munro
Williamson
Taylor
Latham
Nicholls
CdG
Santner
Sodhi
Ferguson
Boult

I mean I still hate it, but given the available players that's what I'd like to go with.

 

[Athlai]

Guptill
B Barrett
Williamson
Taylor
Latham
Nicholls
J Barrett
Santner
Southee
Ferguson
Boult

IMO

I'd be happy with that, as long as we see Williamson and Munro have a bowl. CDG doing 10 overs, no thanks.

The Black Clash thing sounds fun - I wasn't able to watch but that sort of thing has to be great for the profile of cricket in the country.

Very light bowling lineup today having left out two bowlers for a bowler and a part-timer.

We're getting closer to the ultimate combination. No Southee yassssss.

Should be able to rewatch it on the TVNZ app

Might do.

Rather than complaining about the one slip being wide, I'm surprised we didn't just have two slips tbh.

 

[TheBrand]

I'd rather Ferguson open the bowling than Bracewell.

Came here to post this. Bracewell feels so pedestrian after Boult's cracking first over. Pressure off entirely and helping them get their eye in.

 

[Mike5181]

Bracewell looks so gentle.

 

[Flem274*]

that's a wasted first over from bracewell

 

[thundaboult]

NZ just never give you exactly what you want do they? Southee finally out, but bracewell opens the bowling with boult. Bracewell gets promoted after 1 good bowling performance and lockie doesn't after countless great ones??

Riding the coattails of Hobart still.

 

[thundaboult]

Neesh over bracewell anyday. I suspect once jimmy returns, bracewell goes out anyways.

 

[Zinzan]

Village first over from Bracewell. Not sure what they see in him in ODIs. Even when he's accurate he just bowls that consistent nice short of a length without varying his pace that top batsmen like to hit through the line with.

Our top pace attack should quite obviously be Boult, Ferguson, Milne and Bennett if fit.
