    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Wellington A vs. CD A is taking place just down the road. I might pop in for a look during my lunch break tomorrow. Some familiar names playing, but some I've not heard of.

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    It helps when you're captain though, aye! Also interesting that Auckland, having used 9 bowlers, haven't opted for Solia to bowl. Must be injured in some way (or as captain is trying to avoid the carnage!) EDIT: And that's Bruce gone for 345 and 3rd highest score in NZ Domestics. EDIT2: And...

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    300 up for Bruce and looks to be upping the run rate a bit. Here's the list of domestic 300s to date as far as I can tell. 385 Bert Sutcliffe Otago v Canterbury at Christchurch 1952/53 355 Bert Sutcliffe Otago v Auckland at Dunedin 1949/50 338* Roger Blunt Otago v Canterbury at Christchurch...

    NZ Domestic Selector 24/25

    At least Bacon and Jock McKenzie are off the mark for team Heef. Still don't think much headway's a-happening here though. Seifert back in for Pomare who'd been doing pretty well is a blow.

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    Another 1-0 win for Colchester today. Chairman Cowling has come in for a fair old ton of abuse over the years for his parsimony, but he's kept the club on a sustainable footing. It's taken the Cowleys a good 18 months to rebuild the team, but the defence have been improving by the week. I can't...

    Sorry m8. There's too many reactions available as it is. There was space for one more and that slot has been taken. Too bad. Questionable decision, really. But, the people (well, person perhaps) have spoken and that's just where we are.

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    Fair play to Arsenal - that’s a cracking statement away win.

    Best Uncapped XI (Tests)

    Nice. The NZ one will have to replace Will Young but that Australian line-up is going to be tricky to top. Especially in the batting.

    Best Uncapped XI (Tests)

    I did do a search for "Uncapped" and could only find threads from 10+ years ago or one for South Africa which did allow the selection of those greats from the 70s/80s. Can you post up the consensus on those 4 line-ups as a starter for 10 if you know where to find 'em?

    Best Uncapped XI (Tests)

    With the continual rejection of Sam Cook by England, despite averaging under 20 in FC cricket with the ball, I got to wondering what each country's best uncapped XI might be. For the sake of this exercise, I'm counting rebel tests as a Test cap (i.e. Vintcent van der Bijl isn't eligible as he'd...

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Yeah, that wicket would have been worth the admission money on its own. Lovely stuff.

    Why can’t both semi finals and Finals be held in Dubai?

    U wot m8.

    This is a kick in the face for Shady Slim Inc.

    Alastair Cook vs Michael Atherton

    One thing the two players had in common was that there was very little ability to rest either when out of form due to the paucity of alternative options. Cook has extended periods of poor form where he laboured under some of the issues you refer to - however, when he got his eye in he could look...

    Alastair Cook vs Michael Atherton

    Not to anywhere near the extent that Atherton did. No way.

    Alastair Cook vs Michael Atherton

    Atherton had to continually fight against his technique against the pacers. For every 'success' against Donald, there was an embarrassment of dismissals against McGrath or Walsh or Ambrose. There were whole series in the 90s where I had to watch through my fingers as Atherton struggled against...

    Alastair Cook vs Michael Atherton

    Some serious revisionism here. Atherton had some terrible technical flaws to the quicks that often saw him edging to the slips whilst squared up and facing directly down the wicket. His decent scores came despite that. Cook vastly superior for my money; I would have killed to have an opener like...

    Make the Most Combustible XI

    Roy Gilchrist? Runako Morton Assuming you’re after the most combustible players rather than the best XI of combustibles.

    Well, maybe that's the way the forum is these days. If no one's posting elsewhere, that's what CW has become.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Good info. It's a dilemma though - rarely do I get the chance to sit down and watch a Test match at home, but I'd certainly miss it if I didn't have it on in the background all day whilst I do all of those things that need to get done. I'll probably go over to Australia for some of that series...
