    Ross Taylor named captain

    Watching on the news now: 1) Squeaky clean image off field helped him get the job 2) McCullum is part of the drinking culture enjoyed by 70% of the team; that 70% wanted him as captain 3) Taylor is going to bring about changes in this culture 4) Vaughan claims this is conjecture [drinking...

    *** Official New Zealand Domestic Season Thread 2010/11 ***

    Did anyone else read Doull's comments on the Herald? Cricket: Academy 'ruined a generation' - Doull - Sport - NZ Herald News It certainly sounds interesting although he cites us only having two world class players in the last 10 years (Bond & Vettori) as evidence - it's not as if there was a...

    *Official* New Zealand in India 2010

    Those of you doubting TumTum may want to take a look at Malcolm Gladwell's Blink. I know a lot of people dismiss Gladwell as a cherry-picking pop-scientist but he talks a lot about studies that show exactly how revealing a small visual sample size is - students were able to judge a teacher's...

    *Official* New Zealand in India 2010

    Team published here: Paint by numbers for Black Caps batsmen | Stuff.co.nz Absolutely bizarre. Does Bennett getting Bangladeshi tail-enders out at the death and getting tired after bowling four-over spells qualify him to be one of two main pace bowlers against India? As for our 'spin twins' -...

    So hopefully this game means the end of Patel? Can't see how Franklin could have been any less effective with the ball

    is Southee swinging it? From what I make of Cricinfo's commentary he is bowling straight with a tiny bit of seam?

    From Cricinfo: Timmy batting eight is just a scary thought. As is Martin at 11

    Super 14 2010

    went to the Blues game on Friday, Ranger had the beastiest fend I've ever seen; was like he fended a baby. Good game to watch, the Blues backline in the second half was quite the sight

    So we're really going into a test with a 6-7-8 of Vettori-McCullum-Tuffey? Despite Tuffey's recent batting heroics... it just boggles my mind, especially when you consider that Martin is one of the tail-enders: our 8-9-10-11 will barely average 30 (Arnel's FC batting average is six, I think)...

    What a game! For half a stadium, the Eden Park crowd was pretty rowdy. Johnson got **** all day long, and everyone stuck in there even after our tail-***-middle order got destroyed. Dan was on the border of the entire stadium worshipping him; every replay of his leg glances a metre outside off...
