***Official*** India in New Zealand 2020

On that note what's going on with Popli who was the domestic cricketer of the year not too long ago?

Andrew Fletcher from last year the lad that scored record runs for Firebirds in list A is only set to play list A.

You'd think Boyle's batting is much suited for red ball cricket. He has fantastic technique and a quality player. Strangely he's averaging 17 in first class and over 50 in one day. He played few good knocks in the super smash as well.

They've been getting Boyle cheaply in first-class by beating or nicking his inside edge, that seems to be the really common one.

Awesome work, comprehensive video. Probably playing drives at some of the balls that could be defended? Probably needs to whip some of those through leg side. That said we are fed to play straight all the time so pretty hard to change hitting areas after having grown up playing straighter. Some good nuts there though.

Maybe Cricinfo guys aren't smart enough to figure there is no official team named New Zealand XI and made up of players that were excess for super smash. I'd rather trust Cricket Archive, they are amazing.

I wonder if NZC are going to be chasing the view counts tomorrow with some slightly higher production values, like they were last season, with their commentators and live streams from Bay Oval?

No sound on those warm-up game NZ XI video scorecards, despite being at Bert Sutcliffe Oval, where they had stump mics operating on calm days for the national U19 tourney. Hopefully they're stepping it up a notch tomorrow, we'll see.

Yes, I see they will be.

Nice... hoping for a HD stream seeing it's on Vimeo. Last year coverage was awesome.

Wish they covered the four dayers but don't think they will.

 

[honestbharani]

Awesome. Will it be available outside NZ?

 

[Kippax]

Yeah the interest from Indians around the world is what would make them consider doing it.

Not a great video this one by the looks, but one of the few remnants I can find of last season at Bay Oval.

When are India announcing the test squad? Hope Ishant and bumrah are both fully fit, not sure shami is as good when forced to operate without them.

 

[Flem274*]

Only the proper A games are official games and stats counts. The two games we had have no one day status. The NZ XI we provided this time is way stronger than we have in the past. We generally provide a mix of youth and experienced players that are not going to take part in the A side or the black caps side. This one has been an exception.

it was about the usual fringe/new to fc standard tbh with a couple of nz A incumbents like mitchell and cleaver in there to stiffen them. you'd be pretty stoked to rock up for a game against the cantabs and see theo van woerkom instead of tastle or that chinaman bowler coburn.

 

[sunilz]

So Dhawan has been ruled out due to injury. Should we give Shaw a proper run in both ODI and T20 in this tour?

 

[honestbharani]

I am assuming they will pick Samson or Shaw. If they wanna maintain consistency in their T20 selections, it should be Samson. But Kohli seems to like the idea of Rahul as the keeper, so may well be Shaw.

 

[Noumenon]

Grade 3 ankle sprain means Ishant is ruled out of test series.

Grade 3 ankle sprain means Ishant is ruled out of test series.

ffffuuuuu

 

[OverratedSanity]

Well that sucks

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah.. he is also perhaps the most capable batsman of our seamers, so we may miss some valuable lower order runs too. So cruel coz we don't even play tests till like next winter now.

 

[OverratedSanity]

So are they going with Umesh? Not sure he has it in him to deliver overseas tbh. Maybe give Saini or Siraj a go.
