    *Official* Sri Lanka Tour of New Zealand 2018/19

    Great. The two players I despise the most in the NZ set up got us a decent total and wickets. Haha. Ferguson was pretty good though. Gutted that Phillips didn't get a game.

    Which teams will lose to Afghanistan in the World Cup?

    What about buzkashi? Isn't that the national sport?

    No Stoinis in that photo?

    Which teams will lose to Afghanistan in the World Cup?

    I'd back them to win against Windies, Bangas and SL at least. Wouldn't worry about the wickets too much, Rashid seems to be able to turn it square on flat pitches in BBL last couple of years.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    I'd argue that is an issue because we havent had a chance to actually do it yet. I'd feel way more comfortable getting 10 out of Neesham/CdG/Munro/Kane rather than just 3 of them.

    And Neesham, if that's the case then we need to be testing this out against India.

    Yes but once again he is assuming that Latham will bat at 5 and Nicholls at 6. I just can't see that happening.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Yeah I think we'll have a much better idea after the India series. I was curious and checked CdG home average which is 44 from 13 games. Probably not a big enough sample size yet still, but he should defs be a lock at 7 for the India series I think. Plus even though his bowling average is 50, he...

    I think CdG is in there for balance. If you't have CdG in there but have Nicholls at 6 and Neesham at 7, you're relying on 10 overs out of Munro/KW/Neesham which I don't think is that feasible all the time. I also think with CdG's experience from playing in the T20 Blast on their grounds will be...

    I'm writing this so I can check back later but as it stands this is my current World Cup squad. 1. Guptill 2. Munro 3. KW (c) 4. Taylor 5. Latham (wk) 6. Neesham 7. CdG 8. Santner 9. Henry 10. Ferguson 11. Boult Nicholls, Sodhi, Seifert and Southee to round out the squad of 15. Sodhi to come...

    You could definitely hear him say "Logan, what the *** are you doing". Van Beek had a shy at the stumps when Canterbury were 9 down and if he hits the game is over yet Bennett still felt like giving him a spray! Haha. Or was Nofal the guy who threw it back at the stumps and ended up hitting...

    Wouldn't mind Bennett to have a chance. Anyone see the Super Smash the other day where he ripped into Logan van Beek on stump mic for having a shy at the stumps? Seemed pretty uncalled for haha. Definitely worth a shot though, if I remember correctly he last played for NZ the last time India...

    Feel sorry for Nicholls, because after such a good performance today, he’s still probably not gonna make the starting XI for the World Cup.

    *Official* Sri Lanka Tour of New Zealand 2018/19

    Feel a bit sorry for Nicholls, scores a great 100 yet still likely gonna be the reserve batsman for the World Cup! Unless Munro really ***** the bed against India then Nicholls should get a go at opening.

    People are still glossing over the fact that Nicholls will bat at 6 in the WC. I think that's terrible balance of the squad assuming Guptill, Munro, KW, Rosco, Latham are your top 5. Needs to be Neesham at 6, CdG at 7, Santa at 8.

    I base my opinion from some close friends who grew up playing cricket with him and said he has always been a pest. Plus the not guilty thing is not surprising - cases like that are very hard to prove (it becomes he said she said). A contributing factor as to why lots of ***ual assault victims...

    I 100% agree. Kuggelejin should never be allowed to play for NZ imo.

    *Official* Sri Lanka Tour of New Zealand 2018/19

    Haha fair. To answer that though, he would likely be playing at 7 and there's no way I can see Bracewell batting well enough at 7 no matter what Ian Smith says.
