“Who is leaking the stories to the media? Tell me", asked one journalist.
If I'd been Dhoni, I'd have probably slapped that guy.

Dhoni has been different from his predecessors in that he believes it is essentially unnecessary to have even a working relationship with the media.
Hence why he's a legend.
The new dispensation of the board also believes that the media are a hindrance, rather than an interested and involved stakeholder. Their official communications are sporadic and bare, leaving the media with no choice but to tap into sources, either within the board itself or among players and both can be unreliable at times.
Then STFU when there is nothing to report, and stop making up BS stories.

Good Catch. Apparently I am still in the IPL mode.

"he wasn’t fit, and didn’t say so soon enough. Perhaps this was what caused whatever it was that was perceived as a “rift.”
This just makes me mad because Anand Vasu has been doing this to Indian team for so long. He is a scum.

Understandable. Indians have perhaps played more T20s in SA than anywhere, perhaps even including India. Would say SA is the home of T20 cricket.

I was actually looking forward to this, but it's been kind of ruined now. Down to 18 overs a side, and Ireland resting three of their best players (well, resting two and having one legitimately out).. I can't see this being even remotely close anymore. Hope I'm wrong though.

Well all three players have niggling injuries (Niall O'Brien might not even play against NZ) so it's not like they're just trying to prevent burnout, but yeah I tend to agree.

And Johnston has a niggling shoulder injury. Would probably play if it was a crucial match, but makes sense for him to rest it.
Funny, I never thought of countries like India and Pakistan having a national anthem before, perhaps because they're such young nations. Tend to think of national anthems as pieces composed in the 1800s (or earlier). And what was that Irish tune? Never heard it before. I was half expecting 'Danny Boy' or maybe the Riverdance theme.

Yeah, Niall O'Brien's actually injured. Johnston isn't though. Would've played if this game actually meant anything.
I heard Bray wasn't going to play either, but he's out there.
