The first part is related to the last ODI, the second stanza is a bit of cold water on your expectations. But why Mystery Doc? Why are you such a buzz kill? I'm only a buzz kill because some people feel the need to build the Black Caps up, someone has to offer some balance.
It had to be Ronchi and Elliot didn't it. They aren't our superstars, they're just team guys who can contribute when called on. Shout out to them and I hope they don't take me calling them plebs as an insult.
Right, Stags vs Aces on Saturday with the looser to play the winner of the Volts vs the Knights.
All I want to see is the ability to win and win games that maybe the lads shouldn't win. I don't care how, oh wait maybe if Luke Ronchi hit the winning runs against Australia, then I care how we won.
The West Indies offer more off field news than actual substantial performances with bat and ball, which makes them the weirdest team at the World Cup.
South Africa also have a highly talented group of lads, but the resurgence of JP Duminy in recent years has been a joy to watch and he should continue to impress throughout the World Cup.
Neil Wagner chief, you deserve some biltong. Love your work.
It is with this message that I stop clutching at straws and I plead - watch Australia take on India, watch England, watch South Africa play the West Indies and if you can't watch it just at least know that these teams exist. Otherwise you'll be stuck in the Black Caps bubble
Don't dwell on all the run outs.
We'll follow Afghanistan as if they are the Black Caps. Anything and everything regarding Afghanistan at this World Cup will be given love and positive vibes will be spread in the name of Afghan cricket.
Even if the younger brigade of Pakistani batsmen struggle to make the adjustments for the extra swing,seam and bounce they will still have Khan, ul Haq, Hafeez and Afridi who have done it all before
Wagnut mate you're a beaut. 5-for, well that can only result in a fresh salmon fillet on a bed of brown rice. Healthy and rewarding, look at us.
Game one against Sri Lanka, we won. Yey.
7 ODI's is a lot of cricket against the same blokes and it resembles tournament cricket where everyone's watching, scheming, nutting you out.
We have a 15 man squadron ready for action, ready for World Cup domination or at least doing better than we have in recent times.
Test cricket, more importantly the Black Caps playing Test cricket. Just as we finish the warm up, getting in to the five day grind of watching the best form of cricket, it's all over
Honestly Kane, the Prince, I love you.
Will Young, whatever you eat won't be as good as a century.
Any time Kane Williamson is batting, you watch. It's a glorious thing seeing the Prince score runs, but today his leaves and defensive shots were equally as enjoyable to watch.
The Mystery Doctor's Domestic Cricket All Stars From Aotearoa will embark on a tour of Dingo-land, playing a few Test's (yeah we've got international Test status, what's up!?), a few ODI's and a few Twenty20 games.
