Black Caps tour of India - 2026

[Bones]

Superb effort from Phillips. Go on Mitch...

[Bones]

One thing I don't understand is going out of your way to get a shit touch on a clearly very wide ball.

[Virgil]

in better news.. Mitch officially Number 1 in ODI batting rankings.

Should be noted all 5 Indian batsmen in the top 11 played in the recent series.
highlights how well our bowlers did.

[Bovidae]

Without seeing a single ball in this match, the scorecard shows that Jamieson is not a T20i bowler.

[Bones]

@Bovidae Wide was the most economic bowler I think, but not by much.

[Gunner]

In news that will surprise no one, Adam Milne ruled out of the T20 World Cup. Replaced my Big Kyle.

One foodbill replaces another.

111/3 after 10. Rachin looking particularly dangerous today so far

[Bones]

Why Rachin

[bayimports]

Urgh horrible gifted his wicket

[Bones]

I'm with Doully, why the fuck is Foulkes playing that terrible shot?

[Bones]

Haaa that was so wide it should have been 8 runs. Fucking dodgy ump

[Bones]

Fuck, don't fucking hit that! It's almost off the pitch!

[bayimports]

Not sure if 208/6 enough especially after that start on a slow pitch but runs on the board

Bizarrely our run rate fell through the floor against spinners when the dew hit.

I don't think our spinners will be so lucky.

We just couldn’t get a decent partnership to stick. Thought we would have been better against the spin with the dew but yeah we didn’t take advantage

[bayimports]

Well that’s a paddling

India can bat eh. Going to be hard to beat them in their conditions.

Given the ongoing similarities between Baseball and T20, I wonder if knockouts should be a best of 3 or 5 ... more eyeballs, reduce the randomness.

To be fair we can bat too, we really under achieved against their spinners in that match. If we did get a decent partnership going we would have been more competitive.
Strangely more confident playing a tournament in India with our squad than elsewhere. Host nation without a doubt though will be tough to beat but think we are better than most others in local conditions

@bayimports good post

But really how much world you need to post to be confident of beating this team at home. Or would be a lot
