The ODI series being between the top two teams in the world, it's a shame NZ have a largely second-string lineup. Should be interesting regardless, unlike the T20Is where we'll get happily clobbered.

Kohli and Rohit are in amazing form. I wish they didn't retire from the other formats. I will be very surprised if the new kiwi bowlers can dismiss them early. And if they don't, it will be carnage.

Batting carnage will be good for NZ prep for T20I world cup, need bowlers to work on bowling death, wid hole, slow bouncers etc.

What NZ don't want is difficult batting tracks like last red ball tour of India.

That would be true, except that the intersection between the ODI bowling lineup for this series vs the one selected for the T20 world cup is zero (unless you count Bracewell as a bowler). So any lessons learnt won't help as far as the WC is concerned.

Basically, the NZ bowling attack for the ODI series is, with the exception of Jamieson, a development one. India could be justifiably brassed off.

Good point, I forgot we are playing Jamieson plus NZ 2nd / 3rd XI bowling line-up for ODIs.

Just noticed that Santner is playing for Northern today in NZ Super Smash, first game after injury break.

Yes, it will be good experience for the bowlers here. Just one small issue is, none of these odi bowlers are selected in the t20i world cup squad.

Cricinfo headlining their reporting with "it isn't often that India get a 22-day break from international cricket" which seems manifestly misleading. After the T20 WC final India have a 116-day break from international cricket.

I think they mean outside of the IPL window. And I think it has been a 42 day break and not 22? Or did they have it wrong earlier? I seem to recall reading 42.

NZ are making a big mistake with Tim Robinson, and it sends the wrong message to domestic cricketers that guys who barely turn up for the national team, can get picked ahead of you even if you play well.

100%. They're taking Finn Allen on a wing and a prayer that he might catch fire at the right time. Finn Allen's scores in the last T20 World event - 0, 26, 9, 0. Leave him out of the side and let him either a) throw toys and tour the world playing games no one follows or b) become more available.

In other news, India should honestly target 500 in one of the ODIs. They may never have a better chance
