    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Yeah in 2016 and whatever the other tour was not too long after solid showings in the UAE, we expected solid but unsuccessful efforts and got wiped instead. Last year we expected death and got the GOAT NZ result. I think if the 2010 team pulled it off, and they were in the hunt before ****in...

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Yeah I remember Lennox being a very t20 style bowler a few years back. Tipped him as a bolter for 2023.

    Good interview from the old mod. Wonder where he is these days.

    I mean, he was genuinely good for a while there lol a real advantage to have a 5th bowler who was a solid new ball bowler and a mid 3rd seamer.

    I suspect they want to limit the amount of 135kph bowlers in the team since its Pakistan and an ICC tournament so presumably motorway central. Not convinced O'Rourke, Sears or Smith have the radar to survive that situation though despite some extra gas.

    They've never rated Clarkson and only grudgingly gave him an opportunity.

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    So now the lack of tests, A cricket and age group cricket is a choice. I remember a few years ago they made the excuse that they needed all the random t20 because they spent all the 2015 world cup money and the books were bad.

    In addition to Bahnz great points, I'm also content to let O'Rourke and Smith focus on their best format (tests). Pay them accordingly as well. Duffy has always been more consistent with the white ball compared to the red, and is generally more suited to white ball than Smith as already stated.

    Jay Shah, England, India, and Australia in talks to kill test cricket

    Yeah currently we're heading towards national boards essentially paying for the development of franchise players. Finn Allen would have had a fair bit of raw cash poured into him by NZC and the investment will seemingly only pay off for everyone but NZC. There are likely more successful...

    Jay Shah, England, India, and Australia in talks to kill test cricket

    It's the classic corporate issue really of trying to make money through just cuts. Cricket is a business with multiple products (Aus, Pakistan, SL etc) competing against other sports, but this proposed model clearly comes from a headspace that Aus and SL are competing businesses in a vacuum...

    I hope the head honchos involved get a cancer with similar pain and lethality to their influence on cricket.

    Kohli Test Average

    Falling to wider bouncy outswing always been there to an extent. His first English tour was bad, and his first NZ tour was assisted somewhat by a game is dead ton, but at his peak he was just better than his flaws and had some great series in SA particularly. Talent grants temporary grace over...

    *Official* Sri Lanka in New Zealand, 2024–25 (ODIs / T20Is)

    Foxcroft is only on the fan radar because he's South African born and was heavily pushed by kippax. His shots are pretty but his results are mid. Plus Phillips, Macewell are better and Rachin has the highest ceiling.

    Formula 1

    Gg Liam but I will pray for you. Yeah Yuki got in sue to the political influence of Honda and is now limited from a seat by it. His best course was always to go hard at VCARB and target the Aston seat.

    I've held back on Doull but he is certainly known around Waikato and has had many tangible results.

    I'd only heard good things about Wells in terms of introducing new blood.

    Ravichandran Ashwin retires from international cricket

    One half of the most lethal spin duo in Asia ever, and eventually evolved into a solid option in SENA. He will not be replaced easily and achieved so much.
