    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    He has very good control compared to some/most other leggies in NZ.

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    Definitely feel like it's all going to come down to Bowes here ...

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    Van Beek takes some damn good catches.

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    Great comeback, was looking like a trainwreck there for a while. Defendable for the Firebirds.

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    Some excellent commentary from Sumo there, says Nathan Smith was always looking to come back for two (it was Van Beek), replay shows him standing there having completed the run before Bracewell belatedly came back for the second.

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    Funny looking back at that series, we thought we'd found a solid opening duo in Rutherford and Fulton who both scored impressive hundreds (two for Fulton), but neither of them could barely score a 50 again in their lives.

    Collect your Severin-ce pay on the way out.

    Ravindra is rightly being considered as a top order batsman … he might roll his arm over for a few, but with a test bowling average of 62 and a first class average of 51, I wouldn’t rely on him as a bowler.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Given Nicholls’ struggles overseas I don’t think there’s any way he should be picked for our six sub-continent tests coming up. Ravindra is coming in as a straight swap from what I’ve read. He’s good in those conditions and deserves a decent crack at it even if he doesn’t do well vs Australia...

    Second test only, I wonder if this means the first test is Wagner’s final chance …

    Nicholls has actually been dropped, this feels like I’ve entered a parallel dimension.

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    I do find it a bit confusing both having the same name, if you say Firebirds or Blaze everyone knows if you mean men or women, with Brave you have to specify. Didn’t NZC want all the sides to change to using the same name for men’s and women’s, but sides objected? Having built a brand for their...

    *Official* Pakistan in New Zealand

    You’re not going to get many families or kids to games if they start at 9 or 10pm, which sort of defeats the whole purpose of hosting the event, I’d have thought? Plus noise and event regulations might make that difficult at many grounds, if games are finishing past midnight.

    The "Please fire Gary Stead and Gavin Larsen" thread

    We all know it would end up with Stead vs Glenn Turner in the final.

    The "Please fire Gary Stead and Gavin Larsen" thread

    Unfortunately he’s only played five games in over two months since the World Cup semi, in the middle of our summer, and now looks totally out of form. Seems to me like the last thing you’d want to do after you get a young player on a hot streak like Ravindra was, but what do I know.

    Once Bracwell was out this one was all over.

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    Pretty happy with being virtually up with the run rate and only 2 down after 10 overs. Getting a bit dark here though, come off for light and call it for the Firebirds on Duckworth Lewis imo.

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    That looked like an amazing caught and bowled by Van Beek from the RA Vance!

    I'd love to know what he said in the job interview. His lack of vision is amazing.
