    What are the best ODI innings ever?

    Stoinis 146* vs NZ at Eden Park. Best ODI innings I've ever seen (and I'm a kiwi too)

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Be interested to see if we give Ferguson a debut for these test matches, surely we take him to Aus.

    The other Steve Smith question - Who would you try and get him out ?

    In Australia, I'm really looking forward to Neil Wagner vs Steve Smith on bouncy Aussie wickets. Wags will bring the aggro needed I reckon.

    *Official* New Zealand tour of Sri Lanka 2019

    Still think Ajaz should be first choice spinner for Aus tour at the end of the year. Steve Smith's only weakness (!) is left arm orthodox. Just play Ajaz at 11 with Southee, Wags, Boult, CdG and maybe Ferguson in the squad too.

    *Official* New Zealand tour of Sri Lanka 2019

    Don't think he will tbh. Wagner is still first choice and I'm looking forward to seeing him on bouncy Australian pitches after he missed out in 2015 to Doug ***in Bracewell.

    *Official* New Zealand tour of Sri Lanka 2019

    100% this. Boult and CdG with new ball. And I'd probably swap Santner with Wagner. KW to bowl more overs.

    Describe your feelings during the last 30 minutes of the 2019 WC Final

    There was anthem, I can't remember which country, which was really nice snappy and short. I also liked Pakistan's one which had a nice minor key change in it. We should have changed our anthem when we should have changed our flag.

    Describe your feelings during the last 30 minutes of the 2019 WC Final

    I'm still not a fan of the NZ national anthem, but there was something vaguely patriotic about singing it overseas in the lion's den. But I'm definitely not one of those punishers who belts it out.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    I think your rating of CdG is a bit rough, he basically won us the game against SA with Kane and also played a much mature innings with Neesham in that Pakistan game. I only expected him to fire in 1 game, but I'll take 2 for sure. Haha.

    Trent Boult

    Yeah according to DRS, it was probably 49% hitting the stumps. So ridiculous. Was smashing poles over if you ask me.

    No ODI's though? :(

    **Offical** Commentary complaints thread

    I was a bit on the fence about Smithy over the last couple of seasons, his own personal biases came through during the home summer (Bracewell GTFO) and was just punishing in general. Actually think his commentary gets better when he's surrounded by the international commentators as he genuinely...

    Man of the tournament?

    He literally won (*) them one game out of 11.

    Do you agree with the final result?

    I think I know the song you mean, it's got lots of do do do do's in it. However at the few games I went to we got this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfqGecFhaTc

    Man of the tournament?

    Half of Stokes' runs came in game he couldn't get England across the line. Although I guess he got them across the line in the most important game... Also I think KW was surprised to get it as well: https://twitter.com/jakeheasman/status/1150497778369466368/video/1

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Is everyone writing off Guptill for 2023? He'll be 36 and there's not too many ODI's really until the 18 months before that, and given he doesn't play tests now, I'm sure that could be his swansong. Ross Taylor on the other hand I'm not sure about. Would like to Seifert/Phillips at the top of...

    Trent Boult

    I almost would have been tempted to throw the super over to Jimmy Neesham, has been a revelation at the death in this tournament with his changes of pace and bouncers, just go back and watch the Windies over to Brathwaite.

    Do you agree with the final result?

    I just don't think a World Cup Final should be decided by arbitrary things like boundaries or wicket or even dot balls (which would arguably be fairer), it's far too skewed and doesn't take into account who bats first or as someone said earlier why a 100 runs score with less 4's is inferior to...
