BTW, Santner picked up 5 wickets for NZ last game. (Against minnows, but still...) Captain Kane Williamson (knee reco) still hasn't appeared, but NZ have cruised to two wins.

As y'all know, Santner bowls SLA. Flat-track bully Steve Smith was destroyed yet again by the SLA of Jadeja in Oz's first game. Smith has a known weakness against the ball that spins away. ('Cos his defective technique is to swipe across the line of the ball to legside. Otherwise he can't score.)

So when does Oz play NZ??

.......................................

Meanwhile, media say Stoinis will prolly replace Green for the match against S. Africa. It's at Stoinis's IPL home ground.

India 0/87 after 9 overs. Rohit 71*.

India won.

Tonight: Aussies v. Proteas. 7.30

[Donny]

Aussies elected to bowl first.

[Pies4shaw]

Carey and Green dropped. Inglis is keeping and Stoinis is back from injury.

Australia has decided to play just the one competent Indian-conditions batsman (Steve BradSmith, of course) and, if early evidence is any indication, no bowlers at all.
