    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    This article could have been written by one of the regulars here. Maybe it was. Nicholls and Blundell under the microscope. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/360774185/where-black-caps-big-zimbabwe-wins-leave-them-ahead-their-next-world-test-championship-campaign

    *Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe 2025 (Tests)

    Stop the presses: first time in test history that 3 left handers have made scores of 150+ in a test innings.

    In the runs and in the money, DC pockets a cool $300 as Player of the Match. 👍

    Mundane sightings of high-profile cricketers

    Mundane sightings of test cricketers around Mt Maunganui is so commonplace it’s truly mundane. Trent Boult at New World and Mixture, Dean Brownlie at Eddie & Elspeths, Neil Wagner at Bayfair, Kane Williamson driving his vehicle, Kane Williamson on crutches outside Bayfair, Kane Williamson...

    Forgot about Chapman and Bracewell for my alternate side. Maybe Chapman gets Kelly’s spot, he’s a year younger.

    This tour has been a good one for the anti-Blundell brigade, he didn’t get amongst the runs and didn’t set the world on fire behind the stumps. Looking forward to the NZ A tour of South Africa. The fairytale debut of Foulkes should provide ample motivation to the up and comers.

    Biggest victory by margin in NZ test cricket history. Here’s an alternate 11 of current NZ cricketers who didn’t play in this historic match. 1/ Tom Latham (C) 2/ Rhys Mariu 3/ Kane Williamson 4/ Nick Kelly 5/ Glenn Phillips 6/ Mitch Hay 7/ Kyle Jamieson 8/ Nathan Smith 9/ Ajaz Patel 10/ Will...

    Just the 3rd time in history 3 batsmen scored over 150 in a test innings.

    Maybe those matches shouldn’t have had test status.

    *Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe 2025 (Tests)

    It’s ok for South Africa to be thrashing Zimbabwe a short while ago, but NZ should have sent a development team. Seems like a double standard. The point of the tour is to get the test outfit together under Walter and keep the muscle memory ticking along in this period we have to get through...

    People are outraged Nicholls won’t be getting a triple century.

    *Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe 2025 (Tests)

    The constant angst around Henry Nicholls is wearying. Go back to before the first test and there were fears that his presence would weaken the batting order….and also that he would score heaps of runs. The bloke is seemingly despised, which is a bit unfortunate. Personally I think Walter will be...

    *Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe 2025 (Tests)

    I still think Nicholls is being used as a placeholder while the selectors wait for someone to seize a spot in the squad. People have a bunch of names they think could / should be that player, but there is no consensus on who it should be. If you lobbed Kelly, for example, into these tests...

    Both Smith and Foulkes looked almost unplayable angling the ball in towards the left hander Ervine. He seems to have a major technical flaw when subjected to that line of attack.

    The click-bait media only know bald stats and headlines, therefore expect howls of outrage if Foulkes isn't right there in the test mix going forward. JD looked a little bit pedestrian.

    Fisher, Duffy, Foulkes all debuting. Zim batting first.

    From a Cricinfo article on 4 August - 'Mark Chapman and Farhan Ahmed have replaced Rachin Ravindra (international duty, four games) and Marchant de Lange (injury, full tournament) at Manchester Originals.'

    ICC Test Rankings: 'From the two-Test series going on in Zimbabwe, Daryl Mitchell went up four places to ninth among batters while his team-mate Matt Henry went up to fourth spot among bowlers.'

    Chapman might be playing The Hundred because he wasn't selected for this test series, rather than the other way around.
