    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    Went down with the Mrs for post lunch watch, mainly to see Adi live, saw keeper standing up to stumps, realised what was going on and was like oh here we go. CD looked in absolutely no trouble throughout the innings, only time there was any semblance of difference was Adi bowling, but Outer...

    Rank Mahela Jayawardene, Inzy, Chanderpaul and Mo-Yo

    He's not even better than the likes of Kanhai IMO. Shiv was my other WI guy for a long time (thin frame, other end when Lara got his 375, left handed), but I remember Shivs entire career. Maybe I'm too caught up in the Lara aura (which I clearly am aha), I dunno something about Shiv seemed...

    *Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

    I said it earlier in this thread, NZ team is officially run like club side with the undroppables (on current performance (Mitchell/Blundell OR past) and yes men. This. They went after both of them knowing that that ideally this put NZ a bowler down cause of the retreat first / lack of trust...

    What like a real life actual spinner? Bracewell is the some sort of bizarre real life example of off spin as an NFT, along with the Beast nickname and all. 6 and out type behaviour. You're describing what they tell 14 year old spinners in academies all over the land, only problem is, Bracewell...

    For those confused about Stokes approach, us NZ fans have already seen 1.0 version of this mayhem. #earntheright

    For the sake of a big middle faaaaaang to the selectors, I'm stoked for Wagner. This has been EXACTLY whats been missing

    Wagner doing the Henry role! WTF was that from Stokes, Bhacks innings again

    *Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

    I said this when Henry was doing the "Wager role", what on gods green earth are these "tactics". Rachin scoring a double is also memey, especially because of the timing, not saying its proof he should be opening or in the team right now, but I'm not surprised at him excelling at the role he...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    EXACTLY this. Im 100% with him learning his trade. He's been building up an accumulation of experience batting, rather than trying to become a different profile player to what his game has been constructed around, and learn that in the most difficult environment.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    I'm not comparing him, you told us this. Also not quite sure what the internet discussion comment means... in an internet discussion, but tbh it doesn't really matter :) I think what Kippax (and I cant speak on behalf of him tbh) was getting at that very idea that because Ravindra has been...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Agree with this. We've been told he's the next one before he even had the chops or records to even say such things. I remember you distinctly putting him in the Kane Williamson category of talent, and as someone whose seen Kane at close quarters and followed him trajectory as a peer, this was...

    Shane Warne dead at 52

    can't believe it... First came across the man at my first ever live Test at Kingsmead in 1994, standing by that brick wall and was greeted by him. Fast forward to 2005 and I'm a net bowler to THAT Aussie Test side. Spoke with every player for an extended period of time for that week, but with...
