    *Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe 2025 (Tests)

    Predicting future performance, I'd rate Young a little higher with Conway, And I think Rachin competes with Mitchell.

    *Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe 2025 (Tests)

    I ag Yeah Rachin doesnt have the same Aura as ealy Williamson, but he DOES have that stats so far. Seems a bg game player, which is a plus, and has a bi of spin bowling. Who is our seccond best batsman? Young or Martin?

    *Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe 2025 (Tests)

    I looked it up. Kane Williamson averaged 33 from his first 33 innings (18 tests), Ravi averages 36.51 from 31 innings, 16 tests. Williamson was younger I guess? I don't think Rachin is better, but I dont think stats are the place too look to demonstrate that fact.

    *Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe 2025 (Tests)

    Without looking it up this feels like an unfair comparison - I remember Williamson looking good without scoring big in his first 20 tests, with the exception of a big score in Sri Lanka with Ross Taylor? Might have been Taylors last test as captain.

    *Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe 2025 (Tests)

    Yeah pretty much this. I think Blundell and Nicholls are the oddest decisions becuase it seems likly it could/should be their last tests if developing players performed, but developing players (outside of pace bowling which is exciting) havent really been given chances And just to add on, the...

    *Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe 2025 (Tests)

    Hes younger, but with more obvious limitations and less upside. In an aging batting line up something should give way to development, and honestly I thought he had allready and I was surprised to see him in this serries. Williamson is an ATG who will pick his games until he retires, Conway is...

    *Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe 2025 (Tests)

    I agree Nicholls is a great player for NZ, did an excellent job securing home test victories. I still think persisting with him now is a mistake on the part of the selectors, not because he cant perform, but because someone needs to perform in 18 months time.

    Seems harsh. Blundels always been top notch keeper to my casual eye

    *Official * Pakistan vs New Zealand 2023

    Is it fair to say Henry feels like a new Kyle Mills? Or am I just being nostalgic.

    2nd June - Group A - Australia v New Zealand

    on a flat pitch it is for sure. A seamer tougth batting consituons increase the realativw effectiveness of the kiwi top order.

    ***Official*** Pakistan in New Zealand 2016/17

    I'm a tad excited about Astle ftr. Always thought he was a tad hard done by to play one test - Which I think NZ won - and then effectively got replaced as second spinner/leg spinner by Ish Sodhi. he went back to domestics and has been consistently the best performing spinner since but was always...

    'No toss' option rule at Test level..

    I prefer the idea that if you win the toss of the first match of the series you get the option of choosing to bat/bowl and your opponent choosing for the 2nd test, or giving that choice to your opponent so you can decide for the second. Its not home advantage or a toss advantage that bothers...

    ***Official*** New Zealand in India 2016

    Team wise that really convenient. Can play 3 spinners and the two top performing pacers without droping the supposed 'attack leader' hope they bring in a deserving bat to replace him.

    Yeah doesn't seem smart at the moment. Did he give any explanation for the decision?

    Ha, I just made that same comparison to a mate earlier.

    ***Official*** New Zealand tour of Zimbabwe and South Africa 2016

    Been waiting for this game! My South African work college told me weather delays are unlikely, so given that both team batting is probably gonna be a bit flimsy (SA due to inexperience & form, NZ due to being in South Africa and Dale Steyn) I think its safe to expect two result matches. I'm...

    **Official** New Zealand in Australia 2015

    Yep, 31/01/1991 Jones Averaged 49.32 and Crowe 48.25. Crowes highest average at any point in his Career, so I'm guessing thats the best baring any pair who have just had good debut's.
