*Official* New Zealand vs Sri Lanka- White Ball Tour of SL- November, 2024

gp is a bonafide t20 world cup star already for us

got one helluva chance at the odi wc in 3 years time to make his mark on a long format tournament....will prefer the pace and bounce of those pitches in south africa, just like how he enjoyed the pace and bounce of aussie pitches in 22

to me he's already a proven star player with bat alone....the ton against sri lanka in sydney showed he's more than a basher, was a match winning innings where every other batsman from both teans struggled...showed some real application there that he can replicate again in the long formats...no doubt, if he gets a chance up the order just you watch

he's done perfectly fine in his 1 year long test career so far taking wickets ans scoring fifties at no.7

I'm a big fan of GP, especially with his more than handy bowling of late & of course his energy in the field but I am worried his batting seems to have gone back a couple of steps. This home season will tell us a lot about whether it's just that he struggles on spinning tracks.

SL won the toss and will field. One change for SL and none for NZ. I'd prefer Foxcroft for Nicholls and Foulkes for Sodhi personally.
Would have also played Milne having flown him down. Santner aside the spinners don’t have an especially high ceiling if it’s not turning square, and these are not Duffy and Smith’s ideal conditions.
 
The fact that the only way to watch this is by sailing the high seas (not included in any of my regular cricket apps - Willow and ESPN) in the early morning here is not worth it. Add to that the delay of the stream by 2 balls.

I just woke up to take a p!ss. It’s 4:20 AM here.

Not worth it.

Poor effort from Nicholls, looked short of scoring options. In the first game he was thrust into a situation he’s not suited to, but here should have really taken on the senior player responsibility.
