NZ play India tonight. We are already in the semis so the only thing riding on the result of this game is who we play in the semi finals. Win we play South Africa, lose we play Australia.
I thin that's reversed now isn't it? Aus are behind SA - so winning gets you Australia?
Happy to be corrected - I'm assuming it's 1st in pool vs 2nd in other pool

Ridiculous that India can base themselves in Dubai and everyone else has to travel to play them.

Doesn’t bother me, we probably play spin better than them right now. Nothing game though but since in India this week I’m going to hit the bar and wind some locals up.

If I understand, India will not play in Pakistan. So every team that has to play them has to travel to play them while India can rest up. Seems a strange situation
.....and yet when people call out Kohli for acting like a cock they scream racism

Classic case of the Indian tail wagging the ICC dog. One rule for all, except if you are India

It gets worse than that
Because it's unclear exactly who will be playing India until after tonight's game is finished and a late trip to Dubai would be too disruptive, both RSA and Aus are travelling to Dubai. One of them will fly back to Pakistan to prepare for the NZ semi.

That’s my understanding. Time to give the lower order batting practice higher up?

Good wicket that one, kohli early would be nice
-
Good early spell from both opening bowlers
-
Jamieson has the ball swinging and gets his first wicket
-
2/22 in your best Benaud voice
-
Phillips takes one of those screamers that he is capable of, hopefully this doesn’t mean he drops the next six.
30/3 -
Kane’s turn to pull off a stunner 223/7
-
India with a credible recovery but NZ should be in the box seat here, tail to clean up
