    ***Official***Match #21- India vs New Zealand- October 22nd-Dharamsala (D/N)

    Given India have chased in all their games so far, I wonder if NZ were to win the toss, would they stick India in to bat?

    *Official* Match #11 (D/N) - New Zealand vs Bangladesh - October 13th, Chennai

    So you'd prefer to drop Young and keep Chapman at 7? I can live with that.

    *Official* Match #11 (D/N) - New Zealand vs Bangladesh - October 13th, Chennai

    I mean it kinda means everyone bats in their natural position in my lineup (except GP of course). Mitchell's stats at 4 aren't amazing... yet. Although I do have faith they will become better.

    *Official* Match #11 (D/N) - New Zealand vs Bangladesh - October 13th, Chennai

    Think Chapman will be the unlucky one to miss out, part of me hopes they go something like this: Conway Ravindra KW Young Latham Mitchell Phillips Even though Phillips at 7 is criminally low.

    India are undercooked coming into this world cup

    I reckon they can lose to both NZ and Aus. NZ always seems to get the better of India in ICC tournaments, and Aus vs India is just a coinflip imo.

    Black Caps Squad

    Headline on Cricinfo right now. I read the article. I'm no expert - but how are we undercooked? Just because of Williamson's lack of fitness/game time? I would argue that we are better prepped than most teams given we got to play most of our 2 warm up games, and England played half of one 🤷‍♂️

    Black Caps Squad

    Yeah I prefer Chapman tbh, but I just thinking having that extra seam option if Ferguson gets pumped (which probably likely). Maybe more likely for Neesham to play if Sodhi comes in for Ferguson on certain games.

    Black Caps Squad

    I think if Ahmedabad turns out to be a road they might go Neesham over Chapman at 7. But otherwise this looks pretty bang on.

    Warm-ups Thread

    I read that he will field today to see how his knee handles it - so I assume he'll be back for either Bangladesh/Afghanistan in Chennai.

    *Official* New Zealand tour of UAE and England 2023

    With KW likely to miss the first few games of the WC, what XI are they gonna go with? Conway Young Mitchell Latham Phillips Chapman Santner Sodhi Henry Ferguson Boult

    *Official* New Zealand tour of UAE and England 2023

    Yeah I'd rather Mitchell at 3 if Kane's not gonna be there. This is a very weird XI tbh.

    *Official* New Zealand tour of UAE and England 2023

    No Boult seems weird after the hullabaloo with him coming back into the mix. Don't hate Will Young opening, but I definitely do not like Nicholls at 3. Would much rather Allen, Conway, Young instead.

    Geez yeah that Southee post-match interview is very cringe. :/

    *Official* New Zealand tour of UAE and England 2023

    Doull's critique of Allen has frustrated me over the past few months, he rated him highly for being able to be aggressive at the top during the T20 World Cup so that Conway/KW could be "touch players" around him and then today he just absolutely tore him to shreds after he got out saying he...

    *Official* Road to World Cup 2023

    At this rate, surely Stoinis is a vibes-based selection. I rate him though, I'm sure he'll come good at some point during the WC.
