    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    The most important window for the supersmash is the last week before Christmas through to the first week after new years day. That's the time of year when people have the free time to sit down and watch a cricket game. By mid-late January most people have gone back to work.

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    Honestly the history of the rules around these decisions is so tedious. For years we had catches that were clearly out being given not out because on one camera angle things looked a touch dubious. At the time commentators clammoured to just hand things over to the umpires. Then when that was...

    Completely missed that Doug Bracewell also picked up a gig at Essex. Thought his numbers looked pretty great until I remembered that this is early season county cricket and anyone averaging north of 20 is basically garbage.

    *Official * Pakistan vs New Zealand 2023

    Yeah, Henry was just an outstanding white ball bowler from the start, with notable performances against India and Australia early in his career. Yeah teams learned to target him at the death, but even at his most vulnerable he was still taking enough new ball wickets to average 25ish. Jamieson...

    *Official * Pakistan vs New Zealand 2023

    Agreed. The guy's only played 8 ODI's, and I've yet to see him display the toolset to suggest he wouldn't be a liability in the death overs.

    The whole idea of being contracted by NZC is that you're available to them first and foremost. Obviously there's a bit of flexibility built in there if a player - for example - wants to skip a tour to spend more time with his family. But it does not extend to just skipping series in order to go...

    That moment when you realise that all these years “Kippax” was actually an experimental LLM attempting to imitate the way a normal person communicates.

    Interesting to see Boult saying he’s keen to play for NZ after the World Cup.

    Has Sodhi bowled himself out of the WC squad with his efforts this series? Could easily see the selectors just sticking with Santner and Macewell.

    *Official * Pakistan vs New Zealand 2023

    I really hope the past month will be the end of the "Ravindra is really a spinner who bats a bit" experiment, but somehow I feel that'll only happen once Stead gets canned.

    Over-rates yawn

    I do tend to agree with the OP that while hardcore cricket fans we don't care or notice when the overrate drags on, casuals or kids are not necessarily going to feel the same way. Having said that, I'm really not sure how much 45 second rule is really going to help, as I think a big part of why...

    Boxing thread

    Maybe he's tired of being a punching bag for mediocre British heavyweights. Dude doesn't have a single notable win since his highly contentious points victory v Ruiz. Suspect there's a part of him that knows he's just not good enough for the top level and is maybe happy to wind down his career...

    *Official * Pakistan vs New Zealand 2023

    Chapman was a complete non-entity in this year's Ford Trophy, so he certainly hasn't helped himself. Also with Mitchell, Latham and Phillips having the middle-order spots pretty-much sewn up (even though I know there remains a lot of uncertainty about Mitchell's capacity to fulfill the number 4...

    Is that right? Shame for NZ cricket, the guy was a wicket taking machine in domestics and made a very decent fist of his 5 test appearances for NZ. If he'd hung around for a couple more years he would've had a very good chance of snapping up one of the spots that were vacated by Bond, Cairns and...

    Does anyone know why Drum retired at such a young age? Injuries or was he just looking for better opportunities than the pre-player-strike domestic structure was able to provide?

    Gee, I wonder who number 2 is.
