    *Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

    I've offered to do it for them (I'm a uni student with a bit of down time) but haven't heard back. The two most watched sports in my household are cricket and Formula 1 so Spark is a no brainer for us. Still have SKY for rugby/league + the odd international cricket (I assume the Windies series...

    *Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

    I'm more annoyed at the lack of comms from NZC, Sky and Spark about the upcoming white ball series in Ireland/Scotland/Netherlands. Have asked both to no reply.

    *Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

    I had a SKY Box for years but now with a new smart TV and the Spark/SKY apps, I didn't need it anymore. Have had maybe 1 connection issue in the last 12-18 months - maybe I'm one of the lucky ones. It doesn't just work on crowd noise, but it is the main factor in terms of ranking the...

    *Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

    Yeah Spark is great, and having some close colleagues who work there, sounds like execs are very happy with cricket at the moment. I hope NZC announce shortly who has the rights to the white ball games in Ireland/Scotland/Netherlands though....

    Just switching to England for a second .... with Crawley's failures - is there any possible recall for Rory Burns in Bazball era? Thought he was pretty good tbh, scored tough hundreds even if he only averaged just over 30.

    *Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

    Amen to all of this. Our selectors are just brain dead. How M Bracewell is even near a test squad let alone making the starting XI is actually unbelievable, especially ahead of Ravindra/Phillips but probably more Phillips. Latham's minnow bashing has been rightfully questioned and I don't...

    Didn't think I'd ever get Twin Peaks/Blackcaps fanfic on here but I am here for it.

    *Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

    they have an AI system that does their highlights based on crowd reaction. it ranks them all then puts all 3-5 in, and usually some of the others. hit a friend up who works for them and he said it's very surprising that the CdG-Stokes non-dismissal was missed. he's gonna look into it haha.

    Great news to wake up to this morning. Daryl Mitchell could literally win us a World Cup and I still wouldn't rate him. hahahaha.

    Pumped for this. Bairstow at 5 is good. Still not a fan of Mitchell at 5 for NZ.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    New episode of Inside the Box up - first time ever doing video. Keen for feedback, want to try improve this. We're a bit stiff in this one, first one after a LONG layoff haha. Episode 1 - Previewing the England vs NZ Test Series

    Brendon McCullum announced as England's test coach

    Hope they get rolled for 45 in the first test.

    *Official* IPL 2022

    Never really wanted Sanjay Manjrekar to shut up more than his nonsense yarns about bails being redundant.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but Macewell is the same age as Neesham and Neesham has tonnes more experience in white ball cricket around the world. I'm all for form selections but this just seems bizarre. Surely he had a decent Super Smash but is he really going to get games ahead of some of...

    *Official* IPL 2022

    Kohli and Williamson both continuing horror runs this season. Was surprised at the run-out decision by the 3rd umpire though, they showed a split screen where the bat was clearly behind the line when the bails were removed.

    Ben Stokes vs Ravindra Jadeja

    Colin has entered the chat.

    Joe Root resigns as captain

    Now, I actually rate Rory Burns very highly, but what would be the reasoning for him to become captain?

    *Official* IPL 2022

    Feel a bit sorry for Southee getting dropped for KKR, as he'd had a pretty good first couple of games. But Cummins, whattaplayer.

    *Official* Ross Taylor's last series memorial thread

    Surely there's a gentleman's agreement in the 3rd ODI that NZ bat first regardless of who wins the toss.
