OK time to go to sleep. Could have been a reasonable watch if we batted first on this dampish deck. Ireland's batting on this deck looks very amateurish. Can't see a slip up here like the all blacks.

Ish has changed his action. Running in briskly all the way. He's landing the ball fuller but not spending much time at the crease and rushing through the stride. Likely loses some turn he used to get in the past?

Bracewell was probably expecting an easier run after the test series but is not having much joy here. Santner will surely have to come back as the other ODI spinner with Sodhi.

OK so we've yet again snuffing out proper spin for pretenders. Sure Phillips got a wicket but more than 100% he won't be bowling in a year's time. Neither Bracewell nor Phillips will cut over the long run. At least I have time for Phillips as he has age on his side. These Irish blokes can't even play spin. They barely looked to take our spinners on. Imagine Bracewell vs sub continent sides ... unimaginable.

Sodhi is playing and Santner only just arrived in the country

I guess between Sodhi and Santner should the spin bowling responsibilities should rest I guess. If they still need another spinner to roll the arm over then best to get Phillips in. Expecting Phillips a recent convert to a bowler to bowl 10 good overs will go down the same path Bracewell's has.

To be fair don't mind Ireland scoring few runs here. Definitely like to see how our guys respond to a big score right in the first game.
