Wish we could get some quality teams touring here, sick of the rubbish we always seem to get with Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, England etc.

If England lose this it'll be because they chose to bowl first.

You'd think we might have learnt from New Zealand's experiences last match.

He should only be in contention for the ODI side really, he is pretty bad at T20 and Tests.

That's a good selection, he is a very effective T20 player (and is dominating the wicket tally in the Plunket Shield this year too).

My sole prediction for this match is that Ian Butler will play like dog poo poo. I'll make sure to post the result once the match is over.

If he performs well next game I'll take back everything bad I've said about him.

I could understand if it was something like 'Well it looks like he was called up a bit early' or 'Another couple of years in county cricket might be an idea' but straight up writing him off after one bad game is madness.

But to declare an interest I have shat all over players after one game before, but I'm getting better.

Apart from me being a lifelong Otago fan, the main reason I like Ian Butler is that he plays NRL Dream Team and posts on the same facebook page for it that I do - mostly he trolls the gently caress out of the guys who need to be spoonfed every transfer and rips on his buddies from the Volts who also play.

On the other hand, only three ODIs. I'll take that.

It seems like both these matches can probably be blamed on both captains looking at really tiny grounds and going "yeah, bowling first, that sounds good".

ABC aren't covering basically for money reasons, but the BCCI refused Maxwell's certifcation, which is rather outragous.

abc posted:

The ABC's Manager of Grandstand Sport Craig Norenbergs says a number of factors were behind the decision not to have a presence in India for this month's Australian cricket tour.

The escalating costs of broadcasting rights, audience demands to return to normal programming and the need to keep the airwaves open for emergency broadcasting contributed to the ABC's decision not to send a commentary team to India.

"The ABC undertakes a rigorous review of all international sporting events and associated costs and unfortunately as in the case of this tour, we are unable to send a complete team," Norenbergs said.

It was the ABC's intention to still have head commentator Jim Maxwell in India in a reporting capacity but the Board for Control of Cricket in India has rejected the ABC's application for accreditation for Maxwell.

The application was rejected despite representations by Cricket Australia.

"The ABC is disappointed Jim's accreditation has been rejected," Norenbergs said

Some gold lines there about 'demands to return to normal programming'.
