2019 Cricket ODI WC

@shark Rossco is already in England playing for one of the counties on a short term contract and made a decent score in his most recent game. I think he's had five bats for two good scores and three failures. Google finds the article I read (attached). He - at least - is taking his preparation for the tournament seriously. He's got a couple more opportunities - but, I'm doubtful anyone else has - apart from whatever warm-ups we've got scheduled.
NZ Cricket simply don't appear to care about preparing for this tournament.

AUSXI vs NZ-XI Cricket Scorecard at Brisbane, May 10, 2019
Get cricket scorecard of AUSXI vs NZ-XI, New Zealand XI in AUS 2019 at Brisbane Cricket Ground, Woolloongabba, Brisbane dated May 10, 2019.
And Australia sneak home in the last game with a DL decision.
And Will Young makes another hundred.
Nicholls doesn't play again.
Stead's priority is that our IPL players spend some quality time with their families. He's taking a leaf out of Hansen's book and leaving no preparatory stone unturned!
Family first for New Zealand's IPL players before World Cup mission
New Zealand's players have had limited success at this year's IPL but the coach is confident they will be up to speed for the challenge ahead

Only a warm-up game, but Boult gets one second ball. India 4-1
-
Boult gets another in his second over. Pitch swinging - surely pitches won't be like this all World Cup?
India 8-2, Kohli 5* -
Can we just fuck Tim Southee off now please. Reviews a ball clearly going down leg - what a waste. He will get tonked this WC and cost us.

He’s turning Trent Boult into the old quote about Hadlee; like facing the World XI at one end, but the Ilford 2nd’s...
Would love a retro performance like the 2015 7-for v England tho....
-
Boult with another. 3 in 3 overs. India 24-3.

I'd rather we just drop him.

CDG gets Kohli. India 39-4
-
Neesh gets one first ball, India 77-5 off 19.1, Dhoni still there.
-
Neesh gets 2 wickets in 4 balls, hardly genuine wicket taking balls & literally still warming up. India 81-6, Karthik the man gone
-
Southee on, gets Dhoni for 17. India 91-7
-
I'm watching the NZ v India warmup game and NZ had India reeling at around 80 for 6, then, as usual, let their foot off the pedal and India were 175 for 8. If this is how the Black Caps continue, without being able to complete the job by keeping the pressure on, then that lapse in their focus will be to their detriment in the cup games when it really counts. India then finished on 179 all out and at least it will give NZ some much needed batting practice.

Crushed them. Good confidence booster. Our three world class players all put in strong performances to boot.
