"Hey guys I think India has a good chance of winning here it'll be a tight match"

YEAH WELL WHAT IF INDIA HAD ALL THE ADVANTAGES DID YOU THINK ABOUT THAT ONE
"Hey guys I think NZ have an unfair advantage since they got to acclimatize to the conditions and got great prep against England"

YEAH WELL I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IT'S JUST A ONE-OFF GAME AGAINST A DIFFERENT OPPONENT DON'T YOU KNOW THAT

Buddy you're just doing my joke except less funny.

Like I said it sucks for the players that are released. They will be traveling from what I know when the match starts or will be quarantining. Don't want to be in their shoes. Sitting in the hotel room watching all by yourself and only couple of days prior were part of the group.

What happens if they play Ajaz and god forbid he has to be replaced for concussion? Wouldn't it be wiser to keep either Santner or Ravindra back? Signs Ajaz won't be playing?

Would have preferred if they kept everyone behind.

So I'm guessing Young is batting cover, Blundell is keeping cover, and Henry is fast bowling cover. CDG or Ajaz for 12th man.
Sayonara to Santner, Mitchell, Bracewell, Ravindra, and Duffy.

Spin isn't real, Ajaz is there for Ajaz bowl squad luck

Really think Boult's the most under threat. Talk of Jamieson at 7 is just insanely idiotic against a world class attack like India's (Simon Doull).

1. Tom Latham
2. Devon Conway
3. Kane Williamson
4. Ross Taylor
5. Henry Nicholls
6. BJ Watling
7. Collin de Grandhomme
8. Kyle Jamieson
9. Tim Southee
10. Neil Wagner
11. Ajaz Patel

Wouldn't be upset with either of Boult/Patel though.

I wonder where they'll play the 3 odis vs the Dutch. I'd really like us to get Ireland over here for a tour. A St Patrick's Day test or ODI would be great.

12 t20s, 12 odis and 10 test matches... that is as good as it can get. Generally it's like 15 t20s, 8 odis and 4 test matches. Quite glad we're playing 10 test matches in a year.
Yeah, it's decent, just NZ-SA is something that might be really interesting if SA have one more good batsman in form by then.

In NZ best XI Blundell would be an upgrade over Watling but that's his final game for black caps so I get that.
Though reminds me of when we carried finished Dhoni to WC. No offense to his fans :vampire:
