*Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

Yeah, and 4 of the 6 wickets were from slogs to the boundary. Milne in particular got pumped pretty badly (went for 26 runs over 6 balls at one point).

Canterbury fast bowler Andrew Hazeldine overcomes cancer to earn domestic contract

At his lowest point, Andrew Hazeldine couldn't climb the stairs by himself or hold a cup of tea. Now the 26-year-old has a cricket contract.

Incredible fighter. Back playing inside a year of detecting. Very much like Wagner, short in stature but not short on effort.

I still pine for Milne tbh.

Legite swings the ball at pace. Yeah Ferguson has his slower balls and yorkers etc but he's pretty straight up and down.

 

[Bahnz]

Ferguson seems to get steeper bounce from his natural length, which makes him more awkward to face. Batsmen just seem to pick up Milne’s length and get on top of the bounce so easily. Just feels like he’s somehow bowling 10kmh slower than he actually is.

the only time i've seen milne get wickets for nz is when he goes for loads of runs, its never a good looking figure

economical tho, but then gets no wickets

Ferguson moves the ball around in shield cricket too, mostly off the deck.

He's a far superior bowler to Adam Milne right now in all formats.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

I thought Ferguson was more of the swing bowler of the pair, tbh. Based on their Plunket Shield red ball exploits.

 

[Bahnz]

Nah, Ferguson’s definitely more the into the deck bowler of the pair. Can generate some inswing with the new ball, but Milne definitely does it more consistently.

Yes, I agree with you.

Decent inswing with red ball for Lachie.

Milne doesnt seem to swing it for about 7 or 8 years now, action tinkering etc since early days. But he's also played extremely little red ball in those years.

Nice highlight package here of Conway's 88 for Somerset in the County Championship.

Looks like KJ went off injured, anyone know more details? I had looked forward to a Matt Henry-esque county performance from him

CdG going well in that game, 48* currently.

Milne was swinging it just fine in the big bash league earlier this year - albeit only for the first couple overs of the innings.

Can't find any news, though the BBC is saying that the extent of his injury is likely to be known tomorrow.

Surrey are ****ing cursed, Abbo and now KJ Injured very short time into there stay.

Brutal innings from Lord Colin. It's a pity he can't stay in England longer to get a few more first class games under his belt.

Where is he going?

Couldn't find any update on Jamieson's muscle injury other than that he was having a scan.
