Australia v New Zealand will see where we are at. The kiwis look to have the bowling right, but their batting is looking increasingly like a one man band (albeit a very good one). Plus, they haven’t faced the top tier sides yet after their India washout.

yes, the kiwi batting does look weak. if AMIR knocks over the openers, WILLIAMSON would be under pressure to bail them out yet again.

NZ floundering against Pak!
This Friday’s Pak vs Bangladesh match will be a must win for both teams I’m guessing.

India 268. Not enough really. That’s a score you get if you lost many early wickets and manage to salvage an innings.

Outstanding bowling from Roach and Holder. Both conceding less than 40 runs from their 10 overs.

The ball is spinning and jumping quite a lot.

India/Windies
That result was never in doubt once Gayle went cheaply.

So the other alternatives are : Yellow - which is Australia Black - which is New Zealand Red/Maroon/Purple/Silver/Brown - absolutely nothing to do with India Green - The colour of their arch rival Pakistan. What colour did they expect, doubly so considering that the secondary colour is already orange.

Collingwood have got the right idea. Home strip is white vertical stripes on a black uniforn. Away strip is black vertical stripes on a white uniform.
Worst I've seen is Carlton running out in M&M blue (though salts, who called Carlton The Blacks due to how dark their uniforms are, would have been pedanticly happy if not aesthetically) and St Kilda's short lived yellow and white alternate home strip. I remember watching them once and not having any idea who was playing.

And another good question to ask: why does ODI cricket need alternate strips? Is a batsman going to see a fielder in a similar uniform, miss the fact that he's not wearing pads a box or a helmet and, most significantly, isn't his batting partner and lob a catch to him? Is the coach of the batting team going to send out a decoy fielder to try and nab a crucial late boundary?

Each year. People buy them. Dumb arses like me....😕😕😕

I remember watching them once and not having any idea who was playing. Nothing beats the pinkish/beige/flesh and brown camouflage weirdness that Manly wore a few years ago. Cronulla also wore the strange bright yellow kit a few times for charity. i remember Parramatta also wore the M&M Blue kit too. www.sportingnews.com/au/league/list/your-clubs-worst-nrl-jersey-rugby-league-footy/6wim4n8s763i1axtznhdabkrl/11that st kilda kit was pretty stupid.
