    ***Official*** Trans-Tasman Twenty20 Tri-Series

    I see Henry Nicholls has been brought in to cover KW. The selectors really have no idea. He barely featured in the domestic T20 comp, but is next of the rank. At least they wouldn't play Kitchen up the order again :laugh: I'd like to see, Munerz Guppy Taylor Chapman GDG Seifert/Bruce I think...

    ***Official*** Trans-Tasman Twenty20 Tri-Series

    Tom Bruce and Blundell dropped for the NZ squad against England. Chapman and Seifert in. These 2 were pretty much the top bats in the T20 comp, which finished 2 weeks ago, most of us thought (knew) the selectors missed a trick when they were introduced against Windies and Pakistan. Egg on the...

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2017/18

    Chapman has 2 wickets, he's winning the battle!! Also Neesham captain, eeehhhh? When's Bracewell going to start scoring runs.. He's been bad this year, should be dropped for a T Johnson like young talent..

    Ha! They'll probably put Van Beek or someone in front of him anyway.

    ***Official*** Trans-Tasman Twenty20 Tri-Series

    Ugh, shocking from the Blackcaps. The batting performance was worse than that of the commentators, which is just bad.. KW, yeah, na. We clearly struggled with the slow pitch, but he couldn't hit it off the pitch for 4 overs! Not good enough. Taylor did a job, he did well considering he didn't...

    ***Official*** Trans-Tasman Twenty20 Tri-Series

    Black Caps Twenty20 squad for Australia: Kane Williamson (captain), Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Tom Bruce, Ross Taylor, Anaru Kitchen, Tom Blundell, Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Seth Rance, Ben Wheeler, Trent Boult, Ish Sodhi. :laugh: Too late for them to change now, NZ...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in New Zealand 2017/18

    Congrats Pakistan, showed us how to play the last couple matches for sure. I too am bemused by the selections. Blundell was opening in the Supersmash. Seifert is in better form, and surely with Munro out, we could have put Seifert, Phillips or Blundell to open (I don't think Blundell should be...

    He'll still be picked for the Tri series, no doubt.

    ***Official*** Pakistan in New Zealand 2017/18

    Pakistan win the toss, batting first. That NZ batting line up is so wrong.. I don't mind KW opening, but Kitchen batting 3? Taylor 5? I'm hoping that's an error. Kitchen barley makes the top 5 for Otago, but Hess thinks he's a number 3? Hope he proves me wrong, but I just can't see the point...

    ***Official*** Under 19 World Cup 2018

    On Afghan's, now they are a test nation, where will they host test matches against top tier nations? Is it deemed the same as Pakistan, and be played in UAE? Or not so. And, if that is not the case, what are the grounds like, and will they get decent crowds you reckon? I have no idea on the...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in New Zealand 2017/18

    What is it with Hesson and his bits and bobs players. Chapman being held off by Bruce and Taylor, but they tell him to work on his bowling? WTF, are the media not picking up on this blatantly wrong dribble? Devcich is twice the player of Kitchen, and younger, but doesn't get a sniff. Rance and...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in New Zealand 2017/18

    God these commentators are hard to take. Add in Hockley and Rutherford and it's just shocking. Will be good to see how the middle/lower order goes, Nicholl's, CDG and Santner need to show some spine.

    ***Official*** Under 19 World Cup 2018

    Watson runs in sooo slow. Crazy. Ravindra reminds me of Vettori, he obviously has studied the action! Can't believe he isn't in the Firebirds squad already. Fisher has good pace.

    England Team for New Zealand Series

    I hope England keep picking 4 right arm medium pace bowlers for this tour, Australia made it look like fun. Seriously though, I think this will be an interesting series. England have a point to prove, and will not be intimidated like they have been in Australia. A lot of their failures were...

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2017/18

    Totally. Nuttall looking legit quick too. Devcich must be spewing more than us that Kitchen has the BC's role as part time spinner/batsman. I'm no fan but his form has been crazy good. Bruce will be feeling pressure from Chapman too, has played the role of 'bench Blackcap/if playing domestic not...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in New Zealand 2017/18

    I sort of hope Latham is injured for the next few games, we lack fire power at 5/6. Would bring in Phillips or Seifert easy. Still not convinced he's a ODI starter.

    ***Official*** Pakistan in New Zealand 2017/18

    In Welly, the clouds from the storm look to have gone, but the cold southerly wind remains! Gonna be jersey weather, but we should get a full day in so that's good. Sun's coming out.

    ***Official*** West Indies in New Zealand 2017

    Should be a security thing. If there was no ball flying into the crowd, and someone did what those un coordinated tards were doing to families last night (jumping into/onto them), they would be thrown out. Same should apply. pretty easy to police right, security needs to watch where the ball...

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2017/18

    It's still bloody weird, when you have an old T20 numpty who has barely scored a run this season in all forms (TBF he has 1 hundred), in Brad Wilson down the order. Neesham or Rutherford would added to that line up no doubt. Otago have been going down a Wellington road the past few seasons, not...

    ***Official*** West Indies in New Zealand 2017

    I sort of feel like Larsen saw that he got Stokes out a few weeks ago, so now thinks he's a world class spinner or something. Bit of a Neil Broom selection, wasting chances to blood talent. Chapman offers the exact same skill set really. Fantastic hundred by him today, well done!
