No problem with the weather today for the first ODI in Napier.
Not a cloud in the sky and no wind at all currently.

You have no idea how much you have made my day!! I didn't think these started until next week!
Love and kisses to you bro! 
@Hooroo and I think the innings break will be timed for the sun strike lol. They were talking about it on RS Breaky with Coney this morning.
A lot riding on this series, hoping we see Kane and Guppy put the foot down - as both have been a bit sub-par for their level of talent/consistency.
Still a number of questions to be answered too!
- All rounders outside of CdG and Neesham - who makes it?
- Spin (with all rounder overlap) Ish or Astle?
- Does Southee pull a Kyle Mills and make the squad, only to not play a match at the WC?
- Munro? yeah, nah? Seifert? ... or Nicholls?
- Will Taylor snare another century? or run himself and half the team out?
- Will the bangers go Bang!!?
Juicy stuff!
How much will we learn about the guys on the bubble playing these guys? I expect the coach has more or less made up his mind already and Munro is in regardless. He's been a fixture for the last couple of years and it's probably too late to turn back now
The squad for ease of reference:
Kane Williamson (c) (Games 1 & 2)
Todd Astle
Trent Boult
Colin de Grandhomme
Lockie Ferguson
Martin Guptill
Matt Henry
Tom Latham
Colin Munro (Game 3)
Jimmy Neesham
Henry Nicholls
Ross Taylor
Mitchell Santner
Tim Southee
@No-Quarter so one way or another they've seen enough of Seifert
When do they actually finalise the CWC squad? Is it after this series?
Williamson, Astle, Boult, de Grandhomme, Ferguson, Guptill, Henry, Latham, Neesham, Nicholls, Taylor, Santner, Seifret, Sodhi & Southee is my CWC squad. If there is to be a bolter it will be Corey Anderson if he proves he is fit enough.
Did they move the pitch? Or put up a tarp? Or are we going to need a sunlight break again at village park?

Nah, ah. That comment in the interview with JC was a theoretical along the lines of "wouldn't it be good if they could time the innings break to conincide with the sun strike". But I think the sun strike issue is likely to around 6.30pm when play in the second inings will be underway.

@shark bloody big crowd in Napier.......
Satisfactory start after losing toss. 19/2mwith both openers gone. Some lovely shots by their number 3 as he is looking ominous
Hopefully they get a decent score
Not a lot to get out of only chasing 120..
@No-Quarter remember the Indians!!
well, not that bangers have their batting quality but stranger things have happened!
