    *Official* Bangladesh Tour of New Zealand

    We've chosen to bowl again. Fingers crossed for 250+! Why would you not back the batting line up to put a total up..

    Cmon 200.. Give us something please. I was disappointed to see us bowl first, purely from the point of view of seeing the new guys have a good crack. Back yourselves!

    Finch = Guptil ATM, both class bats who are really struggling. Bit of movement here, hope that due stays away.

    Really? Thanks mate.

    Maybe it just shows how insane the IPL is. As I said, he looks pretty good, but that value seems off to me. Conway can't even get a minimum contract in comparison.

    *Official* Australia in New Zealand T20s 2021

    Richardson looks to be a good young bowler. But that IPL money? My god. Looks like they fell for Australia's cranked up speed radars once again.. Was bowling Kuggs pace. Conway is all class. Disappointing to see Guppy go the way he did, leaving 2 wide ones to start, then slapping the next to a...

    2020/21 New Zealand Domestic Season

    Has NZ cricket not worked out that Henry shouldn't be anywhere near bowling at the death? Wellington back in the game here. 160 would be tough.

    2020/21 New Zealand Domestic Season

    How and why is KNB still playing in this side.. Looking forward to seeing McLure, Nuttall and the young CD players.

    3rd Test at the SCG, Sydney, 7 Jan - 11 Jan 2021

    Can Shane Warne just enter a ***ual relationship with Mark Waugh already? FFS!

    3rd Test at the SCG, Sydney, 7 Jan - 11 Jan 2021

    The pace of this innings... They are going to be facing the second new ball with well under 200 runs on the board. The bowling has been tight as always from Australia, but they need to move.

    I wouldn't drop anyone for a spinner at Lords TBH. We don't have anyone who is good enough in the spinning department who would offer more than our fully fit seam bowling unit anyway. No way Jamieson would be dropped anywhere IMO. Boult is easily our most out of form, but a left hander swinging...

    I like Stevenson, something different. Blows the horn a bit, but fair enough considering how NZ are going. finding McMillan a bit annoying, and Elliott's on screen stuff is sooo hard to watch.... But he's OK. McCullums commentary doesn't match his batting style, but he's OK.

    Watch for Watling to grind a 40* off 130 you reckon? Poor guy, when he comes out looking to score quickly you can tell it's 100% not his game.. I can't see steady Stead changing the line up. It looks like this Arvo and day 5 are dicey weather wise, we need quick runs and to get them in for a...

    *Official* Pakistan in New Zealand 2020/21

    I've been there for a few Test's, Hagley Oval is like a boring version of the Basin. Good ground for watching cricket, but nothing special. Heaps of space around it, good for the kids. Bloody hell, good on Nicholls for making the most of his innings. Both these hundreds he shouldn't have made...

    TBH I'd go Henry over Duffy. Also has a low release and is an along the pitch bowler, but 5 km slower. And less bat.

    Mitchell has actually been one of the form Plunket Shield bowlers this season, he should have had the ball in his hand far earlier.

    *Official* Pakistan in New Zealand 2020/21

    All the media/commentator/Stead talking up of Henry is really getting on my nerves. Heard so much about form, even Plunket shield form (he's only played one FC match this season, against a bunch of fresh Pakistan A touring team), being a class act etc... It's all rubbish. The truth is he hasn't...

    *Official* Pakistan in New Zealand 2020/21

    I'd put money on Blundell not being able to hold the opener spot for 2 years. I agree Young will get in there somehow also, but I think Conway is far too good to sit on the sideline until Watling wraps things up. I'm not trying to bash Blundell, but it's clear to me he isn't a test match...

    Henry has had so many opportunity's, and hasn't played the games to justify form IMO. He's averaging 50 in test cricket. No other options out there? Obviously Ferguson would have had the spot. Nuttall is showing enough this season to be in contention also. How long is Blundell going to treated...

    FFS bowl at the wickets, make them play! Short rubbish is just wasting balls.. Southee bowling bounces won't scare even a No 11..
