    Brilliant story mate, thanks for sharing. Fantastic that you got to see the legendary Rod Latham 5-for :) I was at game 3 in Wellington, notable for being Shane Warne's ODI debut but also the only one in the series where we got Mark Waugh out cheaply. It was his first series opening and he...

    It's the confidence and belief and the swagger that I love(d) about McCullum, when he was playing. You may be right though, perhaps that doesn't translate into his coaching that well but by god I would love some of those qualities back in this NZ side.

    It's precisely this attitude that has killed my life-long passion for cricket. I had been wavering for a long time, but it was during the 2nd test against South Africa in 2022 that I had finally had enough. We'd dominated the first test. It wasn't a particularly good SA side. I was looking...

    Imagine if Trent Boult still played tests, instead of adding to his collection of ivory backscratchers.

    Just a third man to both would be great at this point
