    Definitely not minefield. More of a 250 surface, turning a bit, bit up and down but by no means a minefield.

    That was a good ball to get him. Granted Macewell edged couple of them for fours early on but he looked quite positive and was middling often than not. I'm not hopeful our tail can contribute lots on this surface. If we can get to 220 which looks a long shot for now we'll stand a good shot.

    Obviously would love to see Allen opening but then Guppy is a legend and a one off... ideal to have Conway at 3 and Kane at 4. Slot Allen at the top of the order and still keep Guptill till the time he wants to play. If Kane can use Phillips or Mitchell as bowlers to fill in couple of overs or...

    There was a good mention made by Ross Taylor about how the NZ A is run by NZC. They say it is for development but then if they don't perform they bin them. The players playing for NZ A are under constant pressure... technically playing younger ones is fraught with messing them up unless you are...

    I don't think we are going to see players that have debuted last year and done well... I'm referring to someone like Simon Keene or Robinson. This is India they are going to and you can expect fairly experienced side sent. I think 15 of the players will be picked from this group of players...

    Don't think they are going to play Sears, he's there as a replacement for Henry and Tickener couldn't travel. Pretty much I think Allen and Sears are there as cover. There's no way they are going to not play Southee.

    And he was a nervous wreck early in his career. Didn't eat breakfast before a game.

    I think CDG will be backed for the t20 WC as a backup for Neesham. Nathan Smith is the only other I could think can come in place of Neesham but he's not playing club cricket in UK as he's injured and likely out for the season. Chapman will be there but like you said he'll only be an injury...

    Yeah pointed this out a while ago. That said he'll get to play for NZ A in India. There's a test series and t20/one day cricket tour at the end of the month. Not sure why nzc hasn't announced that

    What happens to Chapman? Just stays in the squad, ages and retires I guess. Hasn't done all that bad really.

    Bracewell definitely a lock in for t20s. CDG will be back for the t20 wc so we'll have another option if need be. Bracewell can bat as good as anyone in the top order I think in t20s. One day and red ball obviously not my preference. If he has to bowl 10 overs and bat with different gears he'll...

    Totally forgot Jimmy, Darryl and Phillips can all bowl. Kane uses then so sparingly can't even remember these guys bowl. All in all reasonable outing. Expected West Indies to be much more competitive than win a solitary game. The first game wasn't all that close. Second west indies didn't even...

    That shot from Powell to Southee, just one shot worth full day's ticket cost ?

    Who's going to bowl the last two overs? Everyone but for Bracewell bowled out.

    I'm not quite sure why Kane wouldn't bowl out Bracewell earlier. Looks like our math skills is a bit off today. Lockie bowled out by 16th over and Santner bowled out by the 13th.

    Got a bit too over confident today. Why would you bat Santner at no. 3 when you have someone like Bracewell who's a top order batsman if you want to counter left arm spin? Besides it's not like Kane can't play spin. We have such a long batting line up and Santner shouldn't be batting any higher...

    Long term planning and deserving means something otherwise don't expect the guys to get older and have any loyalty whatsoever. I wouldn't complain later when these guys end up most sought after and not want a contract or prioritize t20 league

    Watched a bit of Kane's batting and glad he's finding the middle of the bat. I thought he'd struggle in this series to be honest. Need to watch the game later today. Timing is good if can get up to watch early morning. Don't think we're going to see much of Allen or Bracewell unless one's injured

    Discriminating based on age is also a sort of discrimination which nzc is very guilty of. If a player is good enough, he's good enough no matter what his age. Applies to a 18 year old as it does to a 38 year old. Why should a younger bloke earn less than what he deserves just because he's...
