Well. Unchanged side, here we come
Gary Stead backs New Zealand openers Colin Munro and Martin Guptill against Australia
Coach plays down speculation about Henry Nicholls moving to top of the order

@nzzp - aggh. FML.
No idea what the fudge Stead (and Kane) are basing this on. Even if Munro fires in one game (IF!!) he's still odds on to go cheaply in the subsequent games. Hmmm actually, what's his best trot of runs in ODIs? will have to hunt that down I reckon.
Is Nichols still injured? if so why hasn't he been subbed out of the squad? I'm in the anyone but Munro camp now - Open with Blundell, Southee, Macca!! just make a call and drop Munro.

Just realised, Aus v NZ is at Lords on Saturday just as the heatwave rears its head in London - 33 degrees is predicted! Big change from earlier this month.
DW reporting temps of 38C in Germany, which is apparently a record.

Are they playing some of the games in Germany ?

@Paekakboyz I looked earlier this morning to see Munro's numbers because I'm coming to the conclusion that someone is insane in the Black caps (that being doing exactly the same thing over and over and expecting a different result). I'm not advocating a revolving door selection policy as in the past but we have a player averaging 35 who isn't playing and one who averages 24 who is. I think that Colin had 4 50's in his last 28 innings. He was dropped in favour of Nicholls for a reason.
Colin's SR of 104 (from memory) isn't that superior that he has to be in the team either.

Munro looks good against modest opposition but Latham's current form is worse than Munro's.
Munro is averaging 25 while Latham has only scored 27 runs in total (av = 6.75).
Should have given both Nicholls and Blundell a chance vs WI or Pakistan.

Had a beer and discussion with a mate last night.
So if we lose both games, and England and/or Pakistan win both we're gone is that right ?
Will a win against Oz or England ( two games I'm very worried about ) GUARANTEE us a semi ?
Teams playing for nothing but pride are WI, Afghanistan and SA right ?

If we lose both games and Pakistan and England win both games we can still sneak in on run rate. If Pakistan, England and Sri Lanka win all and we lose all, then we definitely are out. Unlikely though as it requires both SL and England to beat India.

Well both of those results ain't happening.

@Donsteppa sticking in the pitch a little?

Possibly. Two of the dismissals seemed to be from thinking the delivery was shorter than it actually was (more just back of a length deliveries), the other trying to drive one that wasn’t full enough, and basically blasting it high in the air to mid off.

Looking well like SL out of the running after today (unless the slinga wipes out SA)
I can see us sweating on RR to be honest. We are vulnerable to a team that goes 'all out'and England will be doing just that.
I'm kind of hoping we lose v Australia as we won't beat them twice.
