    *Official* Pakistan in New Zealand

    Mitchell is looking a long way from the batsman circa 2022/23 across all formats. I hope the selectors don't continue to see him as indispensable, I feel he's lost that right in the last 12 months, the same way as Conway did.

    Richard Hadlee VS Jacques Kallis

    This is a joke right? Hadlee is almost universally rated on this forum as a top 3 all time bowler while I don't know anyone on this forum who would rate Kallis as a top 3 bat of all time. To answer you actual poll question, yes Kallis is stronger in their respective secondary skills, but...

    Final – India v New Zealand – Sunday, March 9 – Dubai

    Played India, the better team in the end. We can only speculate whether Henry would have made much of a difference in defending that fairly ordinary total. I think more than likely he wouldn't have.

    Final – India v New Zealand – Sunday, March 9 – Dubai

    Duffy is an opening bowler so should have been the replacement for Henry, since Ferguson & Sears are also both injured.

    Final – India v New Zealand – Sunday, March 9 – Dubai

    Not that it will make a difference, but Smith's selection was always going to be horrible on this type of pitch.

    ICC solution to maintaining both T20Is & ODIs within the cricketing calendar

    I'd probably prefer either T20s or ODIs to be scrapped entirely outside of ICC events, but assuming the ICC persist on both forms being maintained on the international calendar, what about the idea of exclusive 12 month cycles/periods for each? Example: Once the CT is finished the ICC sanction...

    Final – India v New Zealand – Sunday, March 9 – Dubai

    Historically SA have been stronger, but not sure that can be said about these current sides if you go through head to head.

    Semi-Final #2- New Zealand v South Africa- Wednesday, March 5th- Lahore

    Presumably the BCCI get to influence the curator on what sort of pitch they want from a neutral host country.

    Final – India v New Zealand – Sunday, March 9 – Dubai

    Well the bookies agree with you with SA marginal favourites across all of them. Generous odds for NZ & IMO it's a 50/50 game with NZ (if anyone) the slight favourite.

    Semi-Final #2- New Zealand v South Africa- Wednesday, March 5th- Lahore

    Form has to count for something doesn't it? Yes he was good in those tournaments 2 & 4 years ago respectively but It's not like Conway isn't a big match player himself with the difference being he & Young have been averaging well over 40 in the last 12 months vs. Mitchell's average of 30 & to...

    Semi-Final #2- New Zealand v South Africa- Wednesday, March 5th- Lahore

    Conway and Young to both play at the expense of Mitchell who's had the worst last 12 months of all of them but is seemingly undroppable which is wearing thin on me. It's not like he adds anything with the ball.

    11th Match - South Africa v England

    SA vs. NZ would be a great semi.

    All-Time New Zealand XIs - A re-run

    C Cairns Boult Vettori Assuming we'll discuss Vettori batting ahead of Hadlee at 8 later.

    8th Match - Afghanistan v England

    I read that in Bob Willis' dry voice, and the answer is no.

    All-Time New Zealand XIs - A re-run

    Can sympathise with your Donnelly over Taylor pick although I still took the latter's proven Test record ahead of Donnelly potential one, but there is no doubt very few on this forum know just how good he was. Great Wisden article on him below & this excerpt which reminded me what an incredible...

    Rachin -The Kiwi wonderkid

    I'm not worried about that. Never seen such a composed, level-headed & grounded young man, at least from the outside. Just don't throw him into the permanent captaincy gig too soon.

    Rachin -The Kiwi wonderkid

    Confirmed as 162 balls, so must have hogged the strike given that's 162 out of 234 balls (save extras) which if 39 overs is 69%.
