    *Official* West Indies in New Zealand - Nov/Dec 2020

    I kind of worry about Nathan Smith tbh. I was high on him but it's sort of undeniable that while he can generally keep it pretty tight he has real trouble actually taking wickets. SR of 87 with the ball in red ball cricket. He's basically the king of 1/30-50. He's better in white ball stuff but...

    *Official* West Indies in New Zealand - Nov/Dec 2020

    He wasn't selected for NZ A because of some youtube video 10 years ago though. Hitting 60 and 70 odd scores against Pakistan A as an 18 year old, along with getting through a solid workload with ball in that same series, plus averaging 60 as an opener in the 2019/20 Plunket Shield season. That's...

    *Official* West Indies in New Zealand - Nov/Dec 2020

    Young's conversion problems are grossly exaggerated at this point. Like he's still not great at it, but it's nothing like the first half of his career. 2011/12 - 2015/16: 39 games 22 50s, 2 100s 2016/17 - 2020/21: 38 games 16 50s, 7 100s

    2020/21 New Zealand Domestic Season

    "Is Nicholls good enough to play test cricket?" vs. 'Is Nicholls a better batsman than Devon Conway?" The relevant question has always been the latter. I don't think anyone's suggesting he's not good enough for test level, despite the form drop he's still averaging 40 after 33 tests. That's...

    Everyone not named Devon Conway on there clearly need to review some Munro and Ronchi Plunket Shield tapes.

    Isn't Mo'unga a pretty good goal kicker, like 80% range? Surprised they prefer Jordie over him.

    The AEW guys were kind of the worst part of New Japan towards the end when they were there. Tag division would offer a lot though.

    It doesn't help that AEW is putting on some solid weekly shows even if All Out was a mixed bag. NXT running in direct competition to hurt AEW's numbers is also just a dick move.

    15-17 is the record of the fighter Conor lost to in 2008. If your eye test hasn't seen significant improvement in him from losing to that caliber of opponent to beating the likes of Aldo, Poirier, etc. then... yeah.

    *Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

    Tbh, even if you aren't into New Japan as much I'd recommend it just for the crowds being back. Feels like a proper event again, and the clapping game being shown by them is impressive. Tana/Naito had a good match recently. Not as good as their trilogy in 2017 but still really solid.

    'A few' meaning 2? And in 2008 and 2010? No ****, he was green as **** learning the sport. MMA losses aren't the same as in boxing dude. I hope you never google Sakuraba, you'd have a heart attack. probably try to build a delorean to cut him from the sport. losing to Artemij insertnamehere in...

    I really don't think 5 years fighting in Ireland (14 fights) with multiple TKO round 1 finishes is insignificant on a resume, and then he got his opportunity on two prelim cards in the UFC and ****ing performed, that's literally every job ever. Perform and you're probably in. And honestly, even...

    Women's strawweight division is pretty great with Weili, Rose, Joanna, and rising talents like Dern. Actually probably one of my favourite divisions. Nunes and Shevchenko are obviously two of the best ever but not much competition for them. Everything is relative though, the women are further...

    I don't care about the NBA. I'm sure there's a few scrubs running around in euroleague or something that would do all right, but it's a much older sport. This is MMA, not boxing, not kickboxing, not basketball. Mixed martial arts. And in that sport the UFC has the highest concentration of talent...

    I mean, yeah. The UFC is supposedly a joke that doesn't have the top fighters. But M-1 does, when all of their champions are signed to the UFC and the promotion as a whole serves as a talent farm for the them. And only Volk, who I like, has had success there, and even then he's losing to guys...
