    2023 FIFA Women's World Cup

    I feel like this probably deserves a thread? Would never say football is one of my favourite sports, but there seems to be a fair bit of excitement leading into Australia and NZ hosting this massive event. It all kicks off late next week, with NZ hosting Norway at Eden Park. I'm looking...

    Heath Davis

    This has already come up in the Black Caps thread, but probably warrants a thread of its own IMO: https://thespinoff.co.nz/society/02-08-2022/finding-heath-davis?utm_source=spinoff-homepage-layouts&utm_medium=sponsored-1

    * Official * 2022 Commonwealth Games Women's T20

    Brutal Cricinfo bios

    So I noticed that one of the umpires for today's Women's World Cup game was Alex Wharf, and I clicked on his profile to remind myself of what he did as a player. I was greeted with this. Whoa. Any other hard-hitting profiles people can find?

    *** Official *** Tokyo 2020 Summer Paralympics

    12-plus hours a day of live TV coverage has been a godsend in lockdown. Fairly quiet first few days for NZ so far, but our ATG Paralympic swimmer Sophie Pascoe just had a good first heat.

    Spark Sport

    Not a great start for the "new way to watch sport". Did they bite off more than they could chew? I had my doubts about its stability, so decided to steer clear and just watch what they put on free-to-air TV. So the extra games being moved to Duke has been a nice little bonus for me. But my...

    *** Official *** 2018 Commonwealth Games

    Archaic maybe, but I still like 'em. Looking forward to the next 10 days or so, in a much better time zone than Glasgow. Great to see legendary para swimmer Sophie Pascoe named as NZ's flagbearer for the opening ceremony.

    How frequent should the World T20 be?

    Interesting article here: Tim Wigmore: Why the World T20 should be played every two years | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo I originally supported the decision to make it every four years, but now I kind of wish there was another one to look forward to in 2018.

    Nathan McCullum

    Felt like he deserved a thread for his retirement. Always in the shadow of his brother, but he was a really good servant for NZ in limited-overs games, and particularly T20: 63 T20 Internationals 58 wickets Average 22.03 Econ 6.82 Best 4-16 Top stuff.

    Best innings of the tournament?

    Thoughts? It may not have been the absolute best, but I'm going to kick off with an honourable mention for Angelo Mathews' 73* on one leg against England.

    Best ODI tournament finals

    To be honest, most of the World Cup finals I've seen have been disappointing mismatches - Pakistan's collapse in '99, Australia's romp in 2003, the dark fizzer in 2007 and NZ's heartbreaking capitulation this year. So which tournaments have actually had the exciting finishes they deserved...

    Best Test centuries in NZ since 2000

    Inspired by the Aus thread. Why not? There haven't been as many here, but still some good 'uns among them. Off the top of my head, and in no particular order: McCullum 302 v India, Wellington Astle 222 v England, Christchurch Umar Akmal 129 v NZ, Dunedin Sangakkara 203 v NZ, Wellington...

    Crap bowling spells thread

    Fair to have a bowlers' equivalent, isn't it? Chameera's remarkable 2-0-29-0 last night is a worthy inclusion.
