[PhatBoy]

You would think New Zealand would be the sort of outfit who will cross the t’s and dot the i’s and actually respect their someone outsider opposition after what’s happened in the past few days and get the job done

 

[Jascave]

What was supposed to be just a warm up game for NZ against Afghanistan before the top-of-the-table match against India on Sunday has now turned into a real problem game for the Black Caps. Wouldn't be surprised if big upset no.3 happens in this match.

You can hardly call Latham an acting captain anymore with how often he does it.

Afghanistan have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[Plugger35]

Afghanistan winning the toss and choosing to bowl first which is surprising, I would rather be batting first so they may have done us a favour.

What was supposed to be just a warm up game for NZ against Afghanistan before the top-of-the-table match against India on Sunday has now turned into a real problem game for the Black Caps. Wouldn't be surprised if big upset no.3 happens in this match.

An upset isn't out of the question but we should be on our guard against it after the upsets of the last few days, can't take any team lightly.

 

[dumb]

Not been able to follow much, but teams batting 2nd have had a lot of issues, dew/humidity/slowing pitch and outfield?

 

[010203]

The upsets from the last few days means complacency won't be an issue for New Zealand. Dave Warner's favourite umpire is involved today.

 

[010203]

That's a dreadful dropped catch.

That's a dreadful dropped catch.

Absolutely...You gotta take slips catches like that

Beautiful waft from Conway for the first boundary of the game.

 

[NYRB]

Conway is on track to be the best South African import to play outside of South Africa, better than: Wessels, Pietersen, Labuschagne, Trott

 

[NYRB]

Creamed from Conway for 4. Absolutely creamed with 1 hand.

 

[NYRB]

Please go watch and watch that 1 hander creamed by Conway at the 24th ball. Great shot.

and that will get his confidence up for today.

 

[010203]

Ian Smith praised Blocker Wilson's ability as an umpire but didn't comment on Joel Wilson's ability as an umpire.

 

[010203]

Joel Wilson has been told to reverse his on field call of not out. Conway gone LBW.

 

[NYRB]

Conway has to go cheaply today for 20 off 18 balls

Another Wilson howler.

Bloke is cooked.

Another Wilson howler.

Bloke is cooked.

It's amazing he's stayed on the elite panel for so long...They're performances are supposed to be reviewed annually.

[NYRB]

I might need my eyes checked but I thought the LBW was close on live look.

 

[NYRB]

Looks like another dropped chance.....

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

* sake, two easy chances
