37 overs apiece.
That's a somewhat different game to a 50 over match so I'd be very inclined to include de Grandhomme if he wasn't in the mix already.
Harsh on Brownlie, but Little Kane could be pushed up to open.
Hesson strikes me as being inherently conservative, though - so I reckon we'll see whatever he had planned and I reckon that will just be Brownlie in for Guptill.

Yeah, reading McCullum's book 'Declared' he says that he was always ultra aggressive while Hess was always pretty conservative, and between them they'd find a balance.
Kane (and pretty much everyone that's ever played cricket) is more conservative than Baz so we're unlikely to make an changes to the lineup.

@Snowy said in Chappell-Hadlee:
FFS it is still too wet in the out field. I give up. Going out to play.
Don't these lazy feckers understand that I'm trying not to do my work!
Get out there and play so that I can start drinking beer and criticizing!
-
this is some pussy fucking shit right here. Hasn't rained for 5 hours, but still no play? And the commentary on cricinfo seems to paint a picture of a group of guys who don't actually want to play either.
There was some fucking strange calls made with regards to rain in the recent Aus v Pakistan series as well. get on the field you pansies!!!
What happened to clumps of sawdust being the only thing required?

Hawkes Bay what a shithole.
I've been trying not to say that
Actually feel sorry for the groundsman. Was on screen with head in hands. Real "why today" look.
Styris reckons they should be out there - if that means anything.Another look at 5:30...Been fine for a few hours, crowd getting almost as grumpy as me.

Why don't they all just walk down to Nelson Park? The outfield looks pretty good there and its not as if there will actually be that many spectators left in a few minutes. They can use my car's headlights if they need some light later on.
Honestly what a bunch of soft cocks.

Yeah!
They're probably worried if they play on a wet ground in Napier they'll all get campylobactor!
It's not even wet enough to get a mouthful, or even just slip and get a bit of a sore knee (shouldn't say that or someone will hurt themselves - probably someone important like Kane).
Not sure if that is a reverse jinx or actual jinx... -

Somewhere in Sydney, @Nepia 's "anti-Hawke's Bay" warning alarm has just gone off.
I guess the point is that even Neps won't live there...

@ACT-Crusader Kaino was shit last year.
Piri Weepu's selfishness almost cost us a World Cup
-
Neither set of players want to play. We're 1-0 up; they are focused on India; we're focused on South Africa.

some dude on cricinfo has said Napier has had 5.8mm of rain today. What kind of a backward shithole can't drain off that much water? McLean Park is good for fuck all.

In even more WTF-ery, it's barely rained there for a month so you'd think the ground would be like a sponge!
