C lean — after toss After toss: a top-order batter who will see the new ball and the middle, not a cameo at 45.
VC lean — after toss Hedge the other job: death bowling if you captained the bat; a middle-order batter if you captained the ball.
Sunday 15 November is the fifth ODI, Bay Oval, Tauranga, 7:30 am IST. The Test series starts 19 November in Wellington — not a tonight-XI lock on this desk.
A used coastal square on day two usually means less swing and a flatter middle. Do not photocopy Friday. Keep one credit until both XIs.
Toss still decides the shape. A drying one-day strip that holds first-innings totals is not a chase under lights. Keep one credit until both XIs are out.
Captain (2×) last. In an ODI the common 2× is a top-order batter who will see new ball and middle, not a cameo at 45. Vice-captain (1.5×) hedges death bowling — or the reverse.
No locked XI lives on this URL. Lock in the RS9 GAME lobby after the toss. This page is the order of work, not a sold team.
