CDG fell out of favour?

he's being "rested"

I hope he's "rested" for a good long while...

Hah, I’m a fan myself but gee he’s a polarising character

 

[Meth]

In the alarmist world we live in, surely the Spray and Walk Away ad is racist.

 

[Meth]

NZ win the toss and will bat first.

 

[Meth]

Southee in for Ferguson

Brisk start, Guptill survives a tight lbw shout which Lanka didn't opt to review

The last time Sri Lanka beat us in an ODI.

I always thought it was going down leg tbh

 

[vvvrulz]

Ugh I forgot Rig graces the comm box, can't stand that muppet

 

[vvvrulz]

Yeah a bit of commentary exaggeration sold it, it was missing leg

 

[Meth]

Big wicket. Guptill goes, nicking Malinga back to Dickwella

34/1

 

[vvvrulz]

Malinga gets Gup, attempted a drive at something he could have left alone, feet went nowhere.

34/1 after 5 ov

 

[vvvrulz]

Whoops, Williamson skies it to fine leg who does well to take it on the ropes.

Black Caps in some trouble now, 39/2.

 

[Meth]

Williamson goes, hooking and caught with some great work on the boundary at deep fine leg by Sandakan

 

[Meth]

2 wickets down means that Munro has to go a bit deeper than he generally does today tbh

Yeah I'm curious to see how he approaches it from here.

Not a huge fan of his but will change my mind a bit if he goes on here.
Still playing his shots for now.

 

[Meth]

He's the attempt to replicate McCullum. Can see us moving on from him post-WC

 

[Meth]

Fun fact: the most balls faced by Munro in an ODI is 77 v Bangladesh in 2013. Since the beginning of 2017, he's faced more than 50 balls in an innings 3 times in 26 matches
