    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    This current commentary team is probably the worst we've ever had, at least from what I can remember.

    Actually a good question, when did that **** start? I'm sure it's been a long time now but I wish they'd stop.

    Not that I disagree with you, but it is funny that, in the last few years, only Maxwell, Head, and Klaasen have scored noticeably quicker in ODI cricket than Rachin. He just can't seem to hang around in T20s.

    2025-26 New Zealand domestic season

    Not sure Josh Clarkson being the leading wicket taker with 14 wickets at an average of 8 and an ER of 3.2 is a good thing lmao.

    I'm surprised Phillips isn't back, he's been sprinting around tracks and benching 140kg on his instagram lol.

    Greg Hay is a good call.

    Probably Tom Bruce. Rhys Mariu is unironically up there, not many people can match an opener averaging 63, even if it's like 20 games.

    I would assume Will Young is the preferred pick because he played over Conway in the first 2 games of the England series. He did so poorly with scores of 5, 0, and 1 that Conway's 34 was actually a big improvement in the third game though.

    "Good evasion from Jimmy Neesham" lol. Legit didn't have time to move and would've been ****ed if it was going to hit him.

    That caught behind just looked like it hit his body.

    It was out but I don't think he could give it based on that one replay lol.

    Selfishly, I wouldn't mind him retiring from ODI cricket as well tbh. I just don't think his body can handle the workload of Test cricket + ODI cricket + T20 leagues.

    Latham's technique there was a lot closer to what you'd want compared to the Conway run out. Conway was just lazy.

    Tbh based on ODI records leaving Conway out for Young was egregious in the first place.

    Who is the 5th greatest one day batsman?

    Bevan's first innings SR is actually 80, which is very good for a career starting in '94. He just had to chase a lot of smaller totals in the second innings because Australia's bowlers were OP.

    *Official* England in New Zealand 2025

    Henry, Jamieson, O'Rourke, Sears, Fisher (?), Shipley. Even for us this injury list to the bowlers is getting ridiculous lol.

    *Official* England in New Zealand 2025

    Especially since the bulk of his ODIs have been in away/neutral conditions. And he had a great 2023 World Cup.

    I love Wagner but some people just aren't suited to commentary.
