Well this result surprises no one. Good to see Nicholls do ok at the top of the order and Boult bowl well but what else can you say about an 8 wicket win with 172 balls left !!!!!
No better than a training game

Crazy stat that one about the game being our fifth ODI since the CWC final in '19! So all we've had was a short series against India last summer then one game in Sydney in March in a Covid/Jacinda-abbreviated series (I was over there, was a crazy couple of days). That series was initially rescheduled for early this year in Canberra, Hobart and Adelaide but ultimately also called off. So we may have played 6 or 7 games. Was there a winter tour scheduled for last year originally?

But how will we be able to tell the difference between T20I and ODI?
One is pointless but mildly entertaining, the other is approaching a sporting contest that resembles cricket?
Aaannnd, they both are necessary to pay for the real cricket in white, particularly the pointless one. Imagine sevens propping up test match fifteens? 🙂

@siam For sure, and I still watch the pointless one in order to support the real one. I consider it charity.
Comment about sevens probably not so valid (for NZ anyway, I don't think sevens does much to help 15s). I spent 3 days each year, for 15 years (at least) propping up 15's in Hong Kong though.
Getting on the piss for three days is my kind of donation to sport.

Watched the extended highlights. That's a very weak Bangles side unfortunately, they are unlikely to post a total they can defend with that lineup.

Definitely. I’d rather the BCs bat first for some practice, as condescending as that sounds.

Thanks mate and Mn5 😉
We're chasing 272 for the win with Nicholls apparently concurring with us fern oracles, that the bangles ain't worth the time.
52 for 2 after 10 with the 2 least experienced at the crease. It's weird not having Kane or Ross to watch.There's a lot of cricket left in this game

Hope this link works.
Making life way harder than it needs to be.Anyone recall an occasion when a fielder takes a waist high catch and immediately throws it in the air in celebration? They don't always catch that joyful fling🤔
Wtf???!!! That's lunacy!!! He clearly has the ball in a firm grip in that hand, that's a joke.

Good recovery from Conway and Latham.
This could be copied & pasted from the earlier threads where Conway had been discussed, but I swear he’s born to play international cricket. So calm under pressure.
These two are going to have to attack the fast bowlers from here on in, the 2 spinners have bowled very well and have been hard to get away.
Vettori sitting in the Bangladesh camp, WTF?
