Guessing I'm not the only one who didn't even realise there was a tri-series til 10 minutes ago. It seems we will be playing a D team.

I'm just waiting for the real thing to start. We seem to have played every club in the Sub-Continent for warm ups.

Anyone else tired of Jesse Ryders shinanigans? He seems to have had a lot of last chances to clean up his act.

Meh, he got pissed with his team at an indoor tournament (nationals?). It would surprise me if 2/3 of the players in the tournament weren't pissed and 'rowdy'.

He probably does have a drinking problem but this probably wasn't such a big deal.

Looking forward to this.  Lots of pressure on Taylor, will be interesting to see how he copes.  Pleased Williamson makes his debut overseas and mid-week given the hype that's surrounded him back here.

2.10 pm Toss: Ross Taylor has chosen to bat. "If we get a total on board, it would be great. We have couple of youngsters coming through. Anything over 250-260 should be a good score, looking at the Asia cup."

At least you've got visuals,  I'm relying on cricinfo.  Radio Sport doesn't even have ball by ball.

I'd be in bed by now if it wasn't for this partnership. Going well at 199/3, were 28/3.TopLeft072010-08-10 23:36:15

Thats a tough introduction for Kane, gets a dead set peach in his first game! At least he took a wicket.
 
Great win boys!

Disappointing that neither Styris nor Taylor got their hundreds, when they richly deserved them. They both outscored India, fantastic partnership (NZ's best ever for a 4th wicket in ODIs).

Very pleased with the win.

I'm usually absurdly and unrealistically positive about NZ cricket so it's weird that I'm quite unconvinced by this performance.  Styris and Taylor both gave chances early in their innings which should have been taken (cue cynicism about match fixing), no-one else made it to 20 and we didn't bat out our 50.  Could easily have been 90/5 then 140 all out.
 
Unless the pitch/dodgy lights issue was as big as the media made out before the match, and assuming both sides were playing to win, can't fault the bowling effort though!

Kane Williamson, two ducks in two innings. Dear oh dear.

Sehwag on 99 with India needing 1 run to win so the Sri Lankan bowler Randiv bowls an intentional no ball to deny him the chance to get his 100.

Hes been banned for the match against us and has had his match fees docked.

Good to see they take the fair play side of the sport seriously.

That's quality. I'd have done the same if I was the bowler.

I remember in 99 at Eden Park in an ODI I was at, Astle must have been of 97 or 98 and we needed 5 to win v South Africa. We were coasting home and  Pat Symcox just bowled the widest ball ive ever seen and it went for 3 or something. So Astle needed a four to get the century, he did it but Symcox did fair cop it from the crowd.

f**king ridiculous decision to ban and fine him.

No its not, what the bowler did was f*cking stupid. I'm happy with the fine and ban.
 
They're trying to uphold at least some remnants of respect and fairness for the game.

Yeah cheers aitkenmike.

If the Paki's are found guilty of match fixing they're likely to be banned which means we lose our international home schedule this summer.

It's worth it if they are bringing the game into disrepute.

Agree 100%. Just hope they give us someone else. (not Bangas or Sri Lanka, preferably)
