@hydro11 Hesson said Nicholls hide injury niggles at the first game, so not fully fit, side I think. Then Guppy and Munro performed. Crickets not good at changing winning combinations
True Hesson is loyal. I just don't see why he wasn't loyal to Nicholls who performed well over the summer. Hesson has generally put a player coming back from injury straight back in, even if their replacement does well. I suppose Nicholls didn't have that many runs on the board.
I never said anything about Hesson's loyalty. His coaching is irrelevant.
It's just that he's the only source of a reason as to why Munro played against Sri Lanka, that I know of -
A great game of Cricket. As others have alluded to, there is massive support for West Indies team in UK. Partly because of the large Black British population, partly because Viv Richards and co. were media superstars.
The tournament is gaining interest after a rainy start.

Umm ... Hydro... Hesson isn't coach any more ...

NZ fans mostly in their early 20s and mostly pissed.
One of life's great constants.

Que?
For whatever reason that is the second time I have mixed Milne and Henry this tournament.
Wishful thinking?

NZ ODI batting record achieved by Kane Williamson in this match.
With consecutive innings of 79* (v Afghanistan), 106* (v SA), and 148 (v WI) he scored 333 runs before being dismissed.
This beats the NZ record held by Chris Harris of 320 ODI runs before being dismissed, achieved over nine matches May 1997-January 1998 with consecutive scores of:
26*, 77*, 29*, 18*, 52*, 9*, 37*, 62*, 10 -

Kane’s last 2 amazing innings have shot his ODI average up to 48.18, Roscoes is 48.38
How many sides have had a 3-4 batting lineup with those kind of numbers?Well yeah good buddy, it's why the underdog status doesn't sit too well with me. Those stats are up there with the very best.
