    **Official** Pakistan Tri-Nation Series

    The crowd were absolutely going off for every NZ boundary and Phillips’ 100, is this a normal Pakistan crowd thing? Was pretty cool.

    **Official** Pakistan Tri-Nation Series

    Philander’s inability to pronounce ‘sh’ is quite a novel speech impediment. Whole lot of Saheen Sah Afridi so far.

    Babar Azam vs Marnus Labuschagne

    According to this Babar was only just 15 opening the batting against 19 year old Hazlewood. I can’t believe this never comes up, it’s obviously absolute nonsense.

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Loving all this coverage of noted dickhead Craig Findlay in the crowd

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Yeah my related hot take is balls are often called no ball when they actually aren’t, but that’s because the actual rule allows for stupidly high full tosses

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Some team selection from Canterbury. Bat to 4 (including keeper) and then 7 international bowlers

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Just anecdotally, among my fairly hardcore cricket fan mates (indoor cricket mates, outdoor cricket mates, separate but overlapping groups) there seems to be a dismissive attitude towards SS across the board and a sickeningly fawning attitude towards the BBL. Prior to the season even starting...

    **Official** Australia in Sri Lanka Jan - Feb 2025

    Batsmen who score runs due to a carefree attitude towards getting out literally aren’t playing cricket so the runs shouldn’t count

    **Official** Australia in Sri Lanka Jan - Feb 2025

    For future reference, I enjoy proper bowling (bowling in the channel outside off and trying to get the batter out) and proper batting (desperately trying to not get out). Anything else simply isn’t cricket.

    I might be the only Kiwi alive who didn’t enjoy Wagner’s leg theory and I’ve been tagged about this. Offended isn’t a strong enough word.

    Was it “negative” (good batting) or was it negative (aggressive batting and/or negative bowling)

    Kane Williamson vs Everton Weekes

    Having given this matter some thought, I have realised that the answer is the following: KANE WILLIAMSON

    Richard Hadlee vs Viv Richards

    Hadlee - better at his primary skill, better cricketer, bigger ego, would even win the fight behind the stands

    Virat Kohli vs kane Williamson

    ok KW was better. Kohli can have 2013 and before that though. He was definitely much better in 1988 and 1989.

    Virat Kohli vs kane Williamson

    I’m not invested in KW being better than Kohli in 14-19 because they were both on absolute generational runs and were super elite and it seems petty to try and split them. What I don’t accept is that Kohli was definitely better. I think this perspective is largely based on Kohli playing more...

    Virat Kohli vs kane Williamson

    I wasn’t talking about Kohli playing more tests than KW, my point was the 10 tests against England are more significant as a proportion of tests played by Kohli, and KW’s 2 tests against SL are less significant as a proportion of tests played by KW. What the country-by-country analysis does is...

    Virat Kohli vs kane Williamson

    What gets me is KW was exceptional away from home in the period that I’m talking about, but I’m wasting precious mental energy trying to point out the giant elephant in the room to people who are being wilfully disingenuous or who are just too committed to a narrative to have a genuine...

    Virat Kohli vs kane Williamson

    Why are you doing the analysis this way though? Just as one example, Kohli played 10 away tests v England while KW played 2 against SL. Yet your analysis just goes ‘KW was worse against SL and Kohli was worse against England’ as if they are somehow equivalent. You could instead say ‘Kohli was...
