    Pissed it down with rain all day. Smart money already on the draw.

    Just freshened the pitch up for us. We only need 3 days anyway 😉

    All in with full seam attack.... I think India named their team but we have delayed? Or have we named our 11 now?

    The toss was also delayed so no NZ team named yet.

    Actually there was a reserve day that has been used so no play actually lost as yet.

    I'm looking at the rest of the forecast. We ain't getting five days.

    Coin toss could be the winning anyway if those covers come off and we have a steamy seamer underneath.

    Good call by NZ to wait on the XI though. I'm leaning toward neither spinner or allrounder but an extra bat now.
    Doesn't look like that pitch is going to get much baking. Covers will be on and off.

    Sure looks that way. We go full out batting with Young or will gamble on CDG (who might wobble it around in those conditions as a bowling option). Doesn't sound like Ajaz or Mitch would add too much bowling wise. Mitch with the bat obviously but Young is a specialist bat.

    I don't like the idea of sharing the trophy. I want to win the damn thing. Go in balls and all. That means bat big (and once or slightly more) or we smoke them with a ball moving around given that it is likely to be a very disrupted match and shortened as well.

    The coin toss will likely decide it, which is a shame.

    Santner is sitting in MIQ back in NZ. Not an option at all.

    Draw paying 2.24 at the TAB. That is good money I reckon.

    We don't need a spinner.

    I think I would play Young or CDG. Young at 6 would add a lot of starch to the batting. Blundell didn't look in great nick in the last game.

    CDG might add a bit with the ball, but honestly we probably don't need another bowler.

    With the rain around it seems likely we'll either get through them quickly and/or have lots of rain breaks to rest up.

    WTF? Why was that aimed at me? I never mentioned Santner? Nor do I want him there.

    Who did you mean by 'Mitch'? Mitchell?
    It just sounded like you were concurring that a spinner may be a waste of a spot.

    I think from here on in ‘Mitch’ will refer to Johns son because I suspect Santners career has gone full Martin Guptill.
