    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Would it be the worst idea in the world to put someone like Finn Allen at 7 and ask him to replicate what Bracewell did? Like either of Latham/Mitchell would be competent opening. 1. Devon Conway 2. Tom Latham 3. Kane Williamson 4. Daryl Mitchell 5. Dean Foxcroft 6. Glenn Phillips 7. Finn...

    Foxcroft's got to be in the ODI squad for the World Cup right? Especially with Bracewell injured, it's genuinely huge that he's eligible now.

    They could leave him as back up and just wait for an injury or something. There's like 40 days in between our first game and the finals if they get there.

    Do the Crusaders win literally every year. Seems incredibly boring, no wonder people have stopped watching.

    Is he eligible now?

    It seems like a no-brainer in terms of skill, but if you start blocking talent like Shipley from making the side to accommodate 34-35 year old part-timers, you risk losing them altogether. Not everyone is going to hang around like Will Young did until he's 30 odd.

    *Official * Pakistan vs New Zealand 2023

    I think they are angling for something like this atm: 1. Devon Conway 2. Will Young/Finn Allen 3. Daryl Mitchell 4. Tom Latham 5. Glenn Phillips 6. James Neesham/McConchie 7. Michael Bracewell 8. Mitchell Santner 9. Lockie Ferguson/Tim Southee/Adam Milne 10. Matt Henry 11. Trent Boult

    I do find it slightly amusing that carnies like William Regal have to work under the guy who originally fired him again. Dude was a focal point of the main AEW storyline for no reason but still lied to Khan so he could go back to WWE.

    What was crickets best decade?

    Late '90s. Before Youtube, Facebook, Twitch, Tik Tok. Limitless entertainment options meant sport in general isn't as important to people these days. Better TV/radio coverage, better commentary, more star power because there were less shows to watch. And tbh while the average sportsmen of today...

    *Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

    Why are we playing Ravindra in ODIs when the dude averages 31 with the bat and 60 with the ball in List A. Maybe he performs initially, maybe he doesn't. But ffs pick him in his best format or not at all.

    Yeah but if he takes a couple of wickets their selection doesn't look as bad if people only look at the scorecard.

    *Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

    Yeah, I don't get the point of him playing red ball games for Auckland. With important white ball games coming up this year he should should either be in the test XI or nothing in that format. Just unnecessary risk, everyone should know he's test standard already. He has nothing to prove at...

    Bracewell's always a chance of just destroying a team one day but I'd rather give someone like Nathan Smith nosebleeds at number 7 and pick Sodhi along with 3 other quicks.

    We play no test cricket for 7-8 months after this series. You can't blame players grinding domestic cricket if they just say **** it and pick up T20 contracts instead.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    I'll be pissed off if they don't pick two of Ravindra, Smith, Phillips, Shipley in that first test XI. They need to blood younger players now. Nicholls and Bracewell should be out so it's the perfect opportunity.

    1. Rachin Ravindra - 6 2. Devon Conway 3. Kane Williamson 4. Tom Latham 5. Glenn Phillips/Will Young 6. Daryl Mitchell - 4 7. Tom Blundell+ 8. Nathan Smith/Henry Shipley - 3 9. Ish Sodhi - 5 10. Matt Henry - 2 11. Tim Southee - 1

    The relevant question is, would you have him in an XI over Ravindra or Phillips?

    I can understand standing up to Southee and Wagner but Henry is a little crazy.
