    I listened it to it last night and had the exact same reaction as you did. I do recall back in the 90s as a youngster trying to get a signature in my signature book from the majority of NZ cricketers was difficult and that arrogance that Parore alluded to was certainly there along with the...

    Player Comparisons - New Subforum

    Due to volume of player comparison threads and the crowding-out effect it's having on other discussions, we have created a Player Comparisons subforum off Cricket Chat. Moving forward, please ensure all threads of this type are created there.

    *Official* Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2022/23

    7 Tests in 2022 with an average of 26.6 - not exactly knocking the door down to take Nicholls place who averaged 27.9 in the same period. If anything you'd say, have a look at the options @Fuller Pilch suggests.

    *Official* Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2022/23

    Weren't the selectors looking for a batting/holding spinner for NZ conditions in a similar way to how Santner was used previously? Santner is more of a bowler compared to Bracewell, but no doubt they feel Bracewell offers more in NZ conditions compared to Sodhi, Ajaz and his batting is needed...

    *Official* Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2022/23

    No one banging down the door to put them under pressure at the moment really is there. Both Young and Ravindra haven't exactly set the world alight with the opportunities they've had to date at international level. And neither of them are doing a Sinclair at domestic level. I think the...

    *Official* Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2022/23

    Can't help but ask, but is it really sensible given what Wellington weather is like to hold a Test here this late in the season? 2012 was the last time they hosted a Test at the Basin this late, and that ended in a draw as well.

    Feel for Wagner with all the hate he's getting. He's one of our greatest ever bowlers (top 5? - Hadlee, Bond, Southee, Boult, Wagner) and deserves to go out on his own terms in my opinion.

    The old saying now, you don't change a winning team.

    YESSSSSS!!! WOW!

    *Official* England in NZ 2023

    41 overs left in the day - 320 lead at the close seems doable providing these two hang in there. Bat for an hour tomorrow morning and hopefully set England 380 and see if they want to try for a Bazball win. Exciting finish regardless from here now I think.

    That is some record.... wonder how many more years he has left.

    Why is this only a 4 Test series? :(

    *Official* England in NZ 2023

    I'll get back in my box - looks like I was the only one that isn't surprised by what is happening. It's a shame we didn't have the Sri Lanka series first, might have helped get our batsmen in form. As others have said, hope to see Phillips in the next Test as well.

    *Official* England in NZ 2023

    To be fair, did any NZ fan expect a different result with the team we have against a red-hot England?

    Tough call, thought it was bat personally.

    *Official* England in NZ 2023

    Pretty sure the first three days of the 2nd Test at the Basin are a sell-out as well.

    Totally agree, seems like playing Test cricket against England now, you need to set ODI/T20 fields and bowl accordingly.
