    *Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand 2016/2017

    Boult and Southee to clean up here surely, Wags will probably bag a dirty 3 wicket bag bashing it in.. Forecast has changed to drizzle mid afternoon. Could be 2 tough sessions for the Bangas today.

    Tim Southee or Andrew Caddick

    Can't comment, not old enough to watch much of Caddick. But watching that video, they do have really similar bowling actions! And international figures. We're still waiting for Southee to come of age.. Hard to judge until he's 32+, fast bowlers hit their top at around late 20's.

    Storm heading to Wellington tomorrow, don't think there will be play. We've had a rubbish start to summer, however the rest of the week is looking dry enough for a result. *May have spoken to soon, it's windy AF, no rain around yet (9am). Could be a session or 2 in terrible conditions for...

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2016/17

    Tymal Mills bowling 147 km, regular mid 140's in the BBL. The NZ super smash had him in the late 130's, why are those guns so slow? It's pretty poor. Just like all domestic coverage I guess.. Wheeler was 125-130 km for the super smash, and in the Blackcaps was 10 clicks quicker.

    I'm a fan of Mills in commentary, has more technical knowledge than the rest. Nathan McCullum is a deadset job for mates selection, awkward to listen too and adds nothing to the coverage. Had to laugh yesterday when those 2 winners of the amateur commentators comp, did 3-4 overs, and to be...

    Should have been... Central Districts v Otago at New Plymouth, Dec 21, 2016 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo Bruce must have played himself into the T20 side. Gotta say, the Macca D's smash has stepped it up this season. Shame the TV/media hasn't.

    At least Logan Van Beek isn't on the list... Pretty much a who's who of Shield players not in the T20 sides.

    What's up with the speed radar on these games? Pretty sure it's about 5-10kms off. Even more in some matches.

    So we have 2 weeks of naf all cricket, then Canterbury and Wellington play each other back to back home and away?? WTF is up with that? Luckily it's only an hour flight, but still, 1 day in between seems like the minimum.

    TBH I don't mind Neil Broom, he's one of domestics most consistent batsman, scores hundy's and can give it a tonk if required. However, as an interim number 4, and presuming he'll be dumped once Ross comes back, it's seems like a missed opportunity to give someone younger a chance. But then...

    Ferguson to take a bunch of wickets if he get's game time. The thought of 150Kms on foreign pitches is enough to get the Banga top order wobbling. I think you are severely under estimating the difference in conditions here. India and Pakistan struggle here, Sri Lanka get demolished. Your...

    The New Zealand Test Team-The Way Forward

    How rubbish were our bowling options back then. Probably the bowling academy back in the early 2000's to blame. Destroyed young pace bowlers for a generation. Our batting is the thing that worries me ATM.. Guys like Young and Bruce need more time.

    Bruce for T20's, can't see Blundell/Seifert jumping Watling and Ronchi this season. I think Ronch's still has something to give, despite his awful record of late.. He still shows domestic cricket is too easy for him. T20 keeper for the next season, if he doesn't score runs, get rid of him. 35...

    ***Official*** Australia vs New Zealand ODIs 2016/17

    Our batting line up doesn't have the ability to chase 330+, especially vs a class Australian bowling line up. We lost the match when we let Smith and Warner do what ever they wanted, and carve a big partnership at a good clip. Then Henry and co bowled length balls at the death which got...

    Does Mark Nicholas give out free handys to all the Aussie players after each game? He does during the game verbally, that's for sure.

    Snicko was really needed there, and funnily enough, wasn't available! You can't say that was 100% conclusive he didn't hit it. He said there was gap between bat and ball, bullshit. depends what frame you looked. Haha hit in the nuts. Always good too see.

    What was the reasoning around bowling first on this road, and dropping our only point of difference bowler? Far out this is hard to watch, looks like batting practise. 350+ surely.

    NZ have shot themselves in the foot here, we have too many bits and pieces players on tour, and clearly are lacking another batsmen. Nicholl's is a lost cause, and to make changes to the batting line, he is the only one who can be brought in. To be honest, I'd play Neesham in front of Nicholl as...

    Henry Walsh would pissed, he'll probably block that middle order/bowl a couple overs role. I think he's moved down south for Lincoln though, which probably pissed off Wellington Cricket. Playing club cricket though, so fair game..
