    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2014/15

    Yeah what a crock of ****, I've been all over Welly today and didn't see a spot of rain.. Pretty sure it only rained on Friday night? Even my flatmates 2B side had a full game no worries yesterday.

    ***Official*** India and England in Australia ODI Tri-Series 2015

    Finn looks like he's developed a bent arm. When did that happen?!? Also was the speed gun slow? I remember him being around 140-145

    ***Official**** Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2014/2015

    It's a bit arrogant imo to play 5 specialist bowlers, when our batting is our weak point. Surely it would be more beneficial to play a Neesham/Brownlie/Munroe, a batting WC squad back up option? Odd.. At least we should have a tight bowling unit. Big pressure on the top 5 to score.

    Big shame, our pace attack has become our strength since he came on board. Be interested to hear why he's leaving, wonder if he still doesnt see eye to eye with Hess? (after the Taylor fiasco).

    The thing with Santner is that he still very fresh, ideally needs another season to make his mark and learn his trade. But really, no different from Sodhi and Craig. Awesome that we have 3 very promising all rounders, all with different bowling styles.

    Elliott... Far out, I thought NZ cricket was past that. I put my money on him not making the next squad after the world cup. I can understand the reasoning of wanting more a batting allrounder over Neesh. But I would have preferred Munro, Mitchell or even Santner over him! Ah well good on...

    Good, we need some young batters in the domestic scene. Anyone know if Small is back bowling full tilt?

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    That's what happens when you play 3 bowlers. You go for 350+. ****ing stupid idea, especially when they've played the all rounders as specialist batsman for the past 6 months.

    Potential International Trades

    Anderson for Jadeja. Guptil for a test opener, cant think of many decent ones though atm.

    Hira gone for a duck opening the batting, good to see. Canterbury's line up is very zzzz.. Not alot of real talent there.

    Mitch McClenaghan - NZ's most underrated player?

    Love his fire, but he doesn't swing it much, and doesn't bowl fast enough to be a top bowler (goes for runs).. He does get some bounce and carry though. Will be interesting to see if he can get 100 wickets @ under 30 a piece.

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    Why is that generous? He has been clocked faster than that many times in his short career, and consistently bowls in the late 140's.

    Ajmal Action Reported

    A bent arm is either poor technique, or used as an illegal advantage over batsmen. Thankfully the ICC are finally clamping down on it, it's out of control in the sub continent. Hafeez is next in line. The rules are the rules, either everyone can throw or no one can. I know what I would prefer!

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    Far out... I don't like that we've weakened our batting, while carrying a bowler (Craig). If we cant take 20 wickets with 2 spinners, why would adding another change anything? Get rid of our weakest bowler, not batter.

    **Official** Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2014

    Yip, Dan in for Craig. And possibly Ronchi in for Anderson/Neesham.

    Who's this trundler Fletcher Wellington have flown in!!! Man.. What's wrong with Wellington Cricket when someone of his talents are called on a star international import??!

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2014/15

    Milne ****s on Mitch and Kugs in talent. He's only 22, Mitch barely strung 2 games together before he was in his mid twenties. As already said, his injuries have been more "niggly" than career threatening. Although I'd prefer NZ cricket to leave Milne off the international/A radar until new...
