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

    Mate it was just the one time they did it, and managed to get caught... #Insert Tui advertising here#.

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

    Would love to have Ferguson having a crack in a test match, besides Boult (who is marginally different from the rest) everyone else is bowling 130Km + a defensive spinner. Who would Sri Lanka struggle against more, a spinner on a non turning deck, or potentially the fastest bowler in world...

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2018/19

    They need to trust the young talent they have. It's worked wonders in other forms of the game, but they must be stuck in the "dad's army" mindset, that won them the comp a couple years ago. Fletcher has shown white ball cricket talent, so has Nofal but they keep picking Pollard despite showing...

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2018/19

    The speeds for some reason only come up only once or twice an over - Not sure what sky's set up is but it's half arsed. Also the speeds seems very slow, guys like Kuggs and Tickner clocked like 135km max, despite looking much faster, and all other guys hitting late 120's.. Nice to see Bruce...

    Who's watching the Super Smash? Someone needs to tell Chris Harris to stop yelling his head off.. And now Debbie Hockley is in :laugh: Oh jesus..

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

    Nice to see Seifert get the gloves, hope he's not down at 7 or 8. We need to see what he's got. Nicholls aint going anywhere by the looks of it, so hopefully he's 5, Seifert 6 and Neesham 7. I would have thought Bracewell is fighting Sodhi for the 4th bowling spot. Will Young should be there...

    Wagner going @ 7's... Is he bowling his 128Km bouncers to no effect? Looks like we need to build pressure here.

    Ravindra better not be batting down @ 7ish.. Classic Wellington selections are still alive with Woodcock and Pollard getting game time this season. Is Nuttall still alive?

    *Official* India A in New Zealand 2018

    Matt Henry syndrome for Blundell - Hope Macca has taught him something in the nets at least.. He shouldn't have been in the test squad anyway, Latham should be your back up keep. An all rounder would have been a better bet of get on the field. Hope Young gets some games shortly, he looks...

    *Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

    Australia won't chase this. Another 50 runs and they're 0 chance. Weather looks clear, send them in before tea chasing 330-360.

    *Official* India A in New Zealand 2018

    Ravindra playing today, back on Sky too. These commentators are alot better, Radiosport + Jason Hoyte and Tarun Nethula. They have a lot more in depth knowledge of the second tier players + past results, seems like Ian Smith and Riga hardly reflect on the past and have no intimate knowledge of...

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2018/19

    Love watching big Jamieson batting. Can't wait to see him in the Blackcaps, he's developing really nicely atm. Just not sure where he could get a game, Test would be the best format for him ATM, but would be behind Henry and Ferguson at least. (How lucky have we been with injuries? Can't...

    *Official* Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2018

    Fantastic stuff BC's, huge effort. Nicholl's has calmed my nerves of batting at 5 in tests (still don't think he should be 6 in ODI's, top 4 of nothing IMO), and Patel and Sommerville showing they can play test cricket. There are still big question marks on the side though, both openers were...

    *Official* India A in New Zealand 2018

    Just letting everyone know, the first one dayer is on Sky sport from 1.50pm today. Yusss. Can't believe how little coverage domestic and A cricket gets in NZ (other than the Blackcaps). And if you're talking about high cost to cover it - They don't need 10 cameras. It's just a convenient excuse IMO.

    literally 10 seconds I write that, Boult slogs and misses :(

    *Official* Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2018

    300 should be the target, looks almost impossible to slog on this pitch so hopefully Boult can just stay in for Watling.

    *Official* Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2018

    So, we dropping anyone? CDG doesn't have a replacement so he's safe for me. Sodhi has been bad.. I'd be tempted to get Sommerville in there. Spins away from the lefty so offer something different. Do you bring Southee in? Southee in for Wagner if the pitch is more seam friendly than the last...

    Cole is your classic bits and bobs all rounder.. He's a classic Anaru Kitchen Larsen selection 8-) Maybe he's an amazing fielder

    Haha far out, pretty hard to miss a ball by that much Nicholls and get cleaned bowled at the same time.. Taylor bat was coming from backward point..

    Sodhi is spray canning it. Agree with the commentators, bring on Boult. Need to build pressure, far too much milking going on.
