Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

Has anyone done any calculations as to what needs to happen within the NZ/Pakistan and Australia/India series for NZ to make the Test Championship final?

As Mark Chapman returned to NZ colours and Ken McClure is piling up the runs in domestic cricket, I thought I’d try to compile a team of players with East Asian ancestry. Eligible players from HK, Chinese diaspora, Malaysia, Singapore Chinese, Philippines etc.

I have no doubt that in years to come we will see more and more Eurasian and East Asian diaspora players in national teams. Considered picking Tim David (Singapore) but I don't know what his background is.

Arul Suppiah (Malay from Malaysia)
Herbert Chang (Chinese West Indian)
Ken McClure (Filipino NZer)
Mark Chapman (HK Chinese NZer)
Richard Chee Quee (Chinese Australian)
Max Chu (Vietnamese NZer) +
Jonathan Foo (Chinese West Indian)
Sarah Tsukigawa (Japanese NZer, NZ Women)
Hunter Poon (Chinese Australian)
Ellis Achong (Chinese West Indian)
Issy Wong (Chinese British, England Women)

Roy Lamsam of HK worth considering too.

Nadeem Ahmed and Irfan Ahmed are both half-Chinese, but perhaps shouldn't be considered due to the fixing stuff.

Japan have some decent cricketers atm but not sure if any of them are ATG XI material.

If we're considering women then the Thai women's team is up there. Lot's of HK women with pretty good international records too - Betty Chan, Kary Chan, Natasha Miles.

Lamsam? From what (admittededly little) I have seen he looked an absolute prank cricketer

At that stage he was almost 40, and looked about 20 years older

Was a good U19 prospect back in the 1990s, and has played some meaningful innings for HK at international level, though very little that would be considered List A/FC/ODI/T20I


If you're thinking about Chinese-origin cricketers to have represented HK, Roy Lamsam is up there with Benny Kwong.

International Captain
During the MCG tribute to Dean Jones it was shown that his test number is 324 and his highest FC score was 324*.

As he was captain in this 1994/95 shield match, I wonder if his score factored into his declaration, or just a coincidence?
