    Virat Kohli vs kane Williamson

    You’d think this would be pretty obvious. I don’t think I quite appreciated the deranged level of mental gymnastics I was wading into here.

    Virat Kohli vs kane Williamson

    Also no-one specified when exactly in 2014 and 2019 we were drawing the cut off, cos Kane’s away stats are hurt a lot by bad away series against SL and Aus in late 2019. I would say that era for Kane ended at the WC and the 2019/20 tour of Aus in particular was when the ‘KW the failure on tough...

    lol why have you excluded all of Kane’s runs away against Pakistan in 2014 and 2018

    Virat Kohli vs kane Williamson

    oh yeah I literally missed Bradman coming back from the dead. I’m not even drunk this time either.

    Virat Kohli vs kane Williamson

    Unless I missed Bradman coming back from the dead, I'm a bit baffled by the idea that anyone was clearly better than KW 2014-2019. Like what the **** else was he supposed to do.

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    We're just rehashing old debates here, but Eden Park is honestly an ok stadium and not that hard to get to. There seems to be some sort of vested interest in portraying it as buried deep in suburbia when it's practically city fringe and located in a relatively busy area in terms of bars...

    Virat Kohli vs kane Williamson

    Yeah and if (as I suspect he is, without re-checking the stats) KW is a GOAT-tier home batsman with an all-time imbalanced record, then he deserves GOAT-tier credit for said home record. It doesn't somehow become more of a negative the better it gets.

    Virat Kohli vs kane Williamson

    The point has already been made, but...Kane has reached a point where CW analysts are giving him nil credit (or even negative credit?) for literally winning us test matches and series, because it's being done at home or in particular overseas countries where he has a history of doing well. Like...

    Does Will O’Donnell always carry on this much

    Most overrated cricketer

    BECAUSE I WAS DRUNK

    Most overrated cricketer

    KW at this point is massively underrated because he’s been subjected to incoherent pig 3 metrics which are totally unrelated to his actual career

    Pretty disappointed to receive zero tags re: Bean’s height

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    yeah we all love CDG (actually I didn't but whatever) but him being above Tuffey as a pure bowler seems crazy

    *Official* Women's Ashes 2025

    So basically it seems like she twice forgot that a free hit counts as a legitimate ball

    *Official* Women's Ashes 2025

    Not that one…at 47.5 she also turned down a single off a legitimate ball, meaning she would have had to get a single off the remaining ball. Then there was another no ball off what would’ve been the last ball. Then off the ensuing free hit she forgot to run again.

    *Official* Women's Ashes 2025

    Jones seemed to completely forget how the strike worked there. Not just the last one, I also question the earlier decision to turn down a single which just meant she needed a single the next ball anyway

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Good to see Jamal Todd make some runs, means I can once again bring up that time that I bowled a tidy over to him at indoor cricket when he was smashing everyone else

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

    Look I definitely muddled my stereotypes there but let’s say that they have one intern at a time and it’s really only semi-rural, they have enough wealthy old-money South Island clients to be able to employ some junior staff. Being the only employee on a trial period makes it particularly...

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

    I really don’t like the look of Hay as our new keeper. Nothing against how he plays, I just literally don’t like the look of him. Why is a keeper so lanky and why does our token youngster look like a well-maintained 48 year old rural bank manager who hits on all the young interns.

    **Official** 5th Test at Sydney, 3-7 Jan 2025

    Srsly though bring back 2000s highways and featherbeds if it incentivises safety-first batting. I thought I liked bowler-friendly pitches but I failed to envisage them encouraging flip a coin slogging contests.
