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

[vandem]

Yeah, and they're a specialist bowler short. Don't agree with the decision to leave Santner out, even at Eden Park. Looking forward to seeing Jaimeson bowl though.....

Santner was ill, "late gastro bug". And Kuggs ill yesterday. Assume they checked on domestic availability decided too difficult to bring back Sodhi from Lincoln or bring up Astle or Patel from New Plymouth (they may have been travelling today anyway). So all 11 fit players played. Cricinfo says Ronchi is apparently listed as a fielding sub with Kuggs and local R Majitha.

NZ needs to combine Southee opening bowling with Bennett death bowling to create the ultimate ODI bowler.

 

[thundaboult]

the comeback man hamish bennett

 

[Moss]

Yess Bennett! He's been struggling a bit to get a consistent line going but seems to be getting better with games under his belt.

 

[Moss]

They didn't leave Santner out, he fell sick this morning.

Santner will not be left out ever till the date he retires. That said he should be in the XI both in T20s and one dayers.

My bad, woke up and started watching from the 30th over or so, when I saw the team sheet assumed they thought back to the Eden Park T20 where the spinners were picked off.

 

[straw man]

Jamieson raaaaaaa

 

[thundaboult]

Good on ya Jamie! What a ball what a start. He bowled shaw like this in one of the A games too didn't he

 

[straw man]

Blundell should've learned from the Australia series that he only scores runs sans beard.

 

[artvandalay]

looks like it could be jamieson's day to announce himself. Cleaned up baby sehwag nicely.

 

[thundaboult]

Southee's plan. Go at 5 or 6 an over for the first 6 overs. Go 12-15 next 4.

 

[googlyeyes]

CSK should get Jamieson

We miss Oram

 

[artvandalay]

they needed this guy to have played the test series in australia, hindsight and all that. Especially after lockie got injured.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

They need to get CDG on early. He can't be bowled much after the 35th over but needs to bowl 10 or close to that.

 

[thundaboult]

Does this mean southee plays every odi until the 2023 wc? YES.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Or give Southee another. What do I know?

 

[nzfan]

Outstanding work from Jamieson so far. Held his line and length so far really well.

Now the magic of CDG, that's a huge wicket. On this tour Rahul's wicket has been the most precious even more than Kohli.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Jamieson looks excellent. For a guy who's 6'8 early to mid 130s is plenty quick enough for someone his height

 

[straw man]

Everyone who comes on takes a wicket - should bowl the whole team.

Santner was ill, "late gastro bug". And Kuggs ill yesterday.

We carry 13 players for home series. It was a mistake to send Sodhi off after bowling him 4 overs IMO. Hopefully it doesn't cost us this game.

 

[nzfan]

That ball from Jamieson to Shaw is the exact replica from the NZ A vs India A.
