    DoG's ODI Batting and Bowling Performances

    Lol. Any non-Sri Lankans?

    Best number 3 of all time?

    Here’s a question: Do you put your best batsman at number 3 or number 4 and Willy your answer be the same for both tests and ODIs?

    Steve Waugh

    Definitely top 50 test batsman of all time. His average slightly flatters him because of all the not outs but he faced the highest quality of bowling in the 90s when he was at his peak.

    Adam Parore

    I agree with you about the interviewer. Towards the end it got a bit cringy. First he noted that Parore was Women’s Weekly fodder in the 1990s before proceeding to ask him questions about his relationships with his ex partners and partner. I didn’t give a **** about that and would have preferred...

    DoG's ODI Batting and Bowling Performances

    Good call. His world cup knock made top 100 but the fastest hundred didn't.

    Adam Parore

    I think he was just so into the technical side of keeping. He said that one of his ultimate goals was to get a "clean sheet", which means no blemishes at all with the gloves during a whole day in the field, which he achieved only 2 or 3 times.

    Adam Parore

    Adam Parore interview on Runner’s Only! Podcast There’s a very candid recent interview with Adam Parore available on YouTube. He talks about his cricket career in the first 45 minutes, then he shares his experiences climbing Everest in the second half. The last part is him discussing the Tall...

    Macca thinks it’s gone so it will probably be in. Lol no battery. This is how NZ will lose the next World Cup final.

    *Official* Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2022/23

    Shipley with a brilliant 4-fer at the top gets taken out of the attack for establishment choices Tickner and Mitchell who are stealing the Ship’s chance for 5,6, or 7.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    To be fair, I distinctly remember being at Eden Park for an ODI against Australia in 2000 and Steve Waugh walking out to Better Man.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    I think you answered your question about Neesham with your next paragraph. I sometimes meet another Kiwi in a British pub in Tokyo and we often make fun of the All Blacks or rugby players in general for having no personality, lower intellects and much less humor compared to the average...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Great suggestions. I put Sutcliffe and Reid in the Steady XI as they were the pillars of early NZ sides that were entirely amateur and were just happy to get 3 day matches against England but those circumstances were out of their control. It's more about personality. Those who toe the line and...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Good point re: Turner's time as a player. I was thinking more about his time as a coach for one season in 1995/96 when he installed Germon as a puppet captain in an attempt to turn the side into a discliplined unit after the shenanigans of the centenary year.

    DoG's ODI Batting and Bowling Performances

    I'll get onto those. Of course, more requests for batting performances are welcome, especially those pre-1995.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    All this talk recently of Steady-as-she-goes and risk aversion has got me thinking of two New Zealand XIs from our history. One is in the mold of Gary Stead: A team that screams "We're little old New Zealand. We're just happy to compete and wish to offend no-one." The other is a team of...

    DoG's ODI Batting and Bowling Performances

    Update. I have rated the all the innings that were suggested and I have made some further adjustments to points awarded to 2nd innings chases. Rather than awarding points based on the set number of runs, I now award points based on the required run-rate. Thus, Graham Gooch's knock against the...

    The "Please fire Gary Stead and Gavin Larsen" thread

    Mate, one could argue you have never offered anything to the team. You inherited the best crop of talent we have ever assembled. Yes, you won the world test championship and almost the entire world cup with them but the foundation had already been set. The true test was always how you would...
