    Should have been there for Milne in the first place TBF.

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2017/18

    With 22 wickets at the Basin over 3 games this year, surely Bennett is a no brainer for the final spot in the first test match. He'd have to beat out Southee to get a place in the starting side though, which I can't see happening under Hess. Liking the bowling depth right now, Henry really...

    He reminds me of that left armer who use to bowl off his wrong foot for Pakistan? Looks to have a bit of pace too. Sohail Tanvir. When Nuttell and Jamieson are back, they have a good young attack the Cantabs. Would love to watch that CD batting line up..

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2017/18

    I've been thinking the same thing. Same age if not younger than Blundell. Haven't watched him enough though TBF. Seifert seems to be the next ND golden boy, like Santner. Will play for NZ on talent, probably not by being the best in NZ. Watling surely won't play, Blundell NZA keeper, he could...

    Blister on fire! NZ batsmen do hate the left armers who can swing the ball.

    Would be a bit pissed if I was Popli, I can't see the need for Baker in this match.

    Really looking forward to this round. It's a shame the Test squad has already been announced, everyone should be fighting for their spots. That Knights batting line up.. Seems like they are banking on rolling Auckland twice, which they probably should.

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2017/18

    Especially considering Kitchen's form last season. NZ media are pushing LVB as a "all rounder" bolter this season. 5 years of being bog average, 3 good bowling games and suddenly he's an all rounder. He's clearly behind Boult, Wagner, Southee, Fergo, Henry, Nutell, Bennett, Kuggs, Milne...

    Who was the last NZ chinamen? Even in domestic cricket? Awesome to see.

    ***Official*** New Zealand in India ODIs/T20Is 2017

    I'm sorry, but that NZ team selection was all over the place. Nicholls batting at 8 was it? I don't even think he should be in the side with Taylor, KW and Latham able to play anchor roles. CDG is a bits and bobs player, that's all. Southee, getting sick of this guy. Over rated these days for...

    New Zealand doom and gloom thread

    Southee shouldn't be picked in our top ODI side IMO. With the white balls not swinging, he is a 130-135KM medium pacer. Off Cricinfo, stats over the last few years; year 2013 8 8 69.0 9 334 10 3/34 33.40 4.84 41.4 0 0 view innings year 2014 8 8 71.2 5 389 10 4/72 38.90 5.45 42.8 1 0 view...

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2016/17

    I see M Bracewell has signed for Wellington, which is a decent pick up IMO (Otago's batting unit is looking worse and worse). But I also see they have got the Dutch international Logan Van Beek. WTF. No wonder Welly can't develop talent when you pick guys like him in front of local juniors.

    New Zealand squad: Tom Latham (captain) George Worker, Ross Taylor, Neil Broom, Henry Nicholls, Colin Munro, Jimmy Neesham, Luke Ronchi, Scott Kuggeleijn, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Neil Wagner, Hamish Bennett, Seth Rance, Jeetan Patel (will join the squad for the fourth ODI). Yeah good...

    ***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2017

    Rain Scheduled for the last session tomorrow. We need to pick it up, if we want to to win this, the most likely way is to bat once. Kane is fine chipping away, Santner is disposal, especially with CDG there. The situation is made for him, would be odd if they send Watling in next..

    ***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2017

    Santner looks to be batting time. Assuming they're looking to play off the seamers, get their eye in and lift the RR once the spinners are on? Maharaj will be hoping that's the case.

    ***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2017

    Kane's always had a far better temperament than those other players. The other 3 are hardly chilled sort of personalities.. Root may have matured recently. The forecast is looking pretty good for cricket, rain late afternoon on both days the only threat at this stage. If we can bat another 40...

    ***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2017

    Santner in for Neesham, Henry for Southee. CDG holds his spot. It makes no sense, he's a medium pacer slogger. No problem having in the ODI squads, but they're taking the piss. Batting 8 means they see him as a bowler who bats, and is a better bowler than Scott Kuggs. Starting to get over the...

    Bullsh*t. A 23 year old at a party of 18-20 year olds is not un common, and certainly not dodgy. Covers are off, drizzle has cleared, looks overcast. 11am toss. Pitch looks patchy as.

    ***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2017

    100% not an idiot. It's not a black and white situation, and no one wants that sort of thing happening to anyone. He's had his day in court, twice, and was found not guilty. That's black, but the case it self is all grey. Apparently there was a capping ceremony last night.. Does this happen...
