-
157 is defendable. In a T20.
Shit.

Indians will have a freakishly strong batting lineup....nothing new.
....they'll also have an ordinary bowling line up....nothing new.
Exploit the latter as best you can BCs.
fuck this looks even better today. Bra-fucking-vo
Must feel so cool that you get to win the internet. I wish I was you.

Piss poor village venue

@mariner4life Were these shadows supposed to happen in the dinner break?

Don't think this pitch is quite as good as it was billed - holding a bit.
The Indian openers had several mishits before tea that didn't go to hand and Kohli just drove Santner aerially through extra cover that was either perfectly threading the needle or had his heart in his mouth.

Well we did the "get kohli for less than a hundred" bit

Little Kane > Kohli...
I'll take whatever pyrrhic victories are on offer in this thrashing!

I'm going on Saturday - hoping India bat first to avoid what happened yesterday

I think it is sold out too?
If you get a chance, go and get some food from "Big Smoke BBQ Co." as I think they are catering there.
They did for the Sri Lanka matches

Too good for Munro.
Cue @shark!
Hahaha well yes, most decent bowlers will typically be too good for the archetypal FTB
He might test the selectors' patience shortly!
I think I'd go with the same top 6 for the next game - Sodhi will probably come in since the tracks are supposedly going to be spinner friendly. I'd probably bring him in for Southee for this game - give Bracewell another shot at proving he can bat, plus see how he goes bowling 10 overs.
Third game, the axe might have to drop on a couple of non-performers!
I see Kohli is now going home after the first three ODIs.
Looks like the BCCI has decided we're a bit shit!

Holy shit I'm glad I missed that, what an absolute flogging.
Not convinced batting first is our strength. Would like to see us bowl in the second ODI and try and make the most of any early movement to eek out a couple of early (critical) wickets.
@shark's case against Munro continues to gain momentum, gezz he has poor technique. Seems unlikely to come off against quality opposition.

By the time I got home from work I didn't even bother convincing True-Love I needed to watch it. We just watched the Tennis and Vikings

Napier and their Mayor continue to be fantastic advocates for more games at Bay Oval...
