*Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

[Days of Grace]

What are the (legal) options for watching the England vs. New Zealand in other countries, i.e. Japan? Is it Kayo or bust?

NZC won't have this for free on their YouTube channel will they?

Maybe a VPN connection to New Zealand, then creating a Spark Sport login in your dad's name and address, charging your dad's card.

Cheers. I was thinking of using Kayo sports if NZC won’t be broadcasting it on YouTube. I think Kayo is showing both the England series and the world test championship final.

if he doesn't play the WTC final because of no game time and we go for the spinner, we all know that means he's

i hope everything is all good for him at home. ballsy career call to risk his spot in the wtc final.

 

[thundaboult]

yea boult is under serious risk of coming in undercooked

 

[Days of Grace]

That’s unacceptable, for me.

It’s the biggest match of his career ffs and he’s half arsing it.

Glenn Phillips 2 for 73 off 18 overs for Gloucestershire.

Finn Allen scored 29 off 13 and Neesham with a quick fire 50 in the vitality blast last night.

Good from Neesham. What county? the England people here have stopped pretending they even follow theirs

For Essex and Finn Allen for Lancs

Calvin Harrison did all right too, the Wellington lad.

Finn Allen carried the bat for Lance, 71 off 51. Checked twice to see if it was 171 or 71. It's 71 with 5 fours and a six. Very unlike Finn. Man of the match effort. Looks like he has it in him to play according to the conditions. He'll make the black caps one day team later this year.

Any highlights around of these games? I found a YT link but seems the ECB nabbed it which seems odd.

I've been searching everywhere but none. Over the last 3 days there's been one game a day live but not lancs one.

Ah - I went on a little adventure after making my comment and found this.

Fans miss action as T20 Blast streams are sabotaged from India

An act of sabotage by an Indian-based YouTube account meant that fans were unable to watch the opening night of T20 Blast online.The Indian account, titled “The

Looks like an impostor account is the reason why they have been taken off Youtube. Most counties stream their games if they aren't the main broadcasted match.

 

[nzfan]

Bugger... I did see they were going to show all games live on YouTube.

 

[nzfan]

Phillips (42 off 21), Ferguson (4-0-31-2) in vitality blast. Good outing so far for all kiwi lads.

 

[straw man]

Didn't know Ferguson was in the UK playing, that's good news. Sorely hope his fitness holds up.

Yup 100% generally our cricketers are doing really well at the moment. Munro has been among runs too in PSL. Just goes on to show the overall health of cricket right now. Our players in overseas league/county etc are pulling their weight like never before. Black Caps are consistently producing results and conquering challenges. Hope this lasts long. Still have a little concern we are doing all this with 30 year olds and definitely needs a bit of youth for progressing in future.
