    *Official* New Zealand in England 2021

    It pains me how much I'd rather be watching Lockie steam in over Henry's back of a length rubbish.

    Is it controversial to like Jimmy?

    *Official* New Zealand in England 2021

    Very weird lineup for NZ. I'm unconvinced about resting Jamieson after a single test match overseas before the WTC... Ajaz deserves to play, I'm happy to see him get a go, and he may bowl more than under Kane who is famously reluctant to bowl spinners. Happy to see Young and Mitchell.

    *Official* New Zealand in England 2021

    Would pick Mitchell with Ajaz. Mitchell is a better bat than CdG but a less effective bowler, so if we pick a more specialist spinner than Santner we should get the extra batting strength. Would like to see Rachin, but agree if he's the spin option we want 4 quicks.

    I said worst! I'll never forget the 50's him and McGrath put up against us.

    Surely Crawley has to be one of the worst players to score a test double hundred?

    *Official* New Zealand in England 2021

    That race was something else, stoked for Seb! Surely heading for a draw now in the cricket unless we can get that Baku magic over to London within a few hours.

    What? Why?

    *Official* New Zealand in England 2021

    Gee, entertaining innings but also one that gave me zero confidence that Rosco still has it. Surely CdG time now

    *Official* New Zealand in England 2021

    Are there actually Southee haters in tests? I think it's usually limited overs stuff that is more controversial.

    *Official* New Zealand in England 2021

    Yet again questioning why England are allowed to host cricket matches :laugh: '5 days of sun', 'heatwave' Yeah right. Not actually serious, just frustrated as I think there's a good chance we get a draw now and it could have been an interesting match.

    *Official* New Zealand in England 2021

    Wagner has genuine batting talent, it's silly to have him below Southee. He has a bunch of FC 50's, one in tests, and also a 100 in an FC warmup game. Tbh super disappointed in our batting, without Conway that would have been a truly woeful innings. Nicholls obviously solid too, pity how he got...

    *Official* New Zealand in England 2021

    My parents were both pretty racist, super anti-'PC' when I was growing up, I absolutely would have posted that sort of stuff when I was 18. Fortunately for me, I was never that big on stuff like facebook or twitter! At that age you haven't had the chance to really form your own opinions and see...

    Hoping Spark comes out with some extended session highlight sessions, nothing yet. I was gonna watch the replay but now I know the score I'm less keen!

    *Official* New Zealand in England 2021

    I believe enough in these two tests to have gotten a month of Spark Sport. Not huge on Santner, feel like he doesn't offer enough of either batting or bowling. Does have an ability to come in clutch though which can be valuable, look at Stokes (though an obvious quality difference..) .Would...

    Rachin -The Kiwi wonderkid

    Was Kane's dad like Rachin's dad? It would strike me as odd given that Kane has a twin brother. You'd think that if he was gonna sports dad he kids, he would have gotten them both in to it.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    It's quite the conundrum really. We'd all like to see Conway in, but moving him to open is a bit naff, and I do not see the selectors looking past Rosco despite his recent form being pretty bad. I wonder with Young opening in County if that's a decision he made, the county made, or if NZ...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    As much as I rate Daryl Mitchell, I could get behind this. Having a spinner gives us more value than another medium pacer, and filling that wonky opening slot is also a great bonus. Will Young could be replaced by Mitchell if needed. I'm not fully sure he'll end up being a significantly better...

    BJ Watling+ retires

    I think he would have also made a good one day batsman if the game hadn't evolved as it did. Back when 225 - 250 could be a competitive score most matches, a guy who can reliably score at 80SR would have been valuable. Nowadays, with 350 being a normal score there's just nowhere to fit him in...

    BJ Watling+ retires

    I asked the missus if we could get BJ posters on the wall and she seemed horrified.... I'll miss him, but if there's any time for him to leave this is it, NZ keeping stocks are very strong at the moment. I initially always thought he was a stop-gap keeper, and I think it was only 4-5 years ago...
