Yeah, if you just leave it to stream, it seems to work fine (or at least it did last night), but if you try to pause it or jump back or forward in the action, that’s when the gremlins come out.

It's a very slow day. In search of answers to our pressing issues, I have embraced our Matrix future and asked ChatGPT to save NZ cricket. It still thinks we're the best thing since sliced bread since it's knowledge cut off is September 2021 so I had to be like "assume x happened" for events since then like David White resigning but here's the results, and some are the universe I want to live in. All hail ChatGPT.

Assume Gary Stead will quit. Who should be the new coach?
  1. Shane Bond: Bond is a former New Zealand fast bowler who has gained coaching experience with various teams, including the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League. He has a good understanding of the game and has worked closely with New Zealand players during his time as a bowling coach.
  2. Mike Hesson: Hesson has previously served as the head coach of the New Zealand men's cricket team from 2012 to 2018. He is known for his strategic approach and has a strong track record with the team, including guiding them to the final of the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup.
  3. Brendon McCullum: McCullum is a former New Zealand captain and one of the most successful players in New Zealand cricket history. While he does not have extensive coaching experience, his leadership skills, knowledge of the game, and ability to inspire players could make him an interesting choice.
  4. Daniel Vettori: Vettori is a former New Zealand captain and one of the most respected spinners in the game. He has coaching experience, having served as the head coach of the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League. His deep understanding of the game and his ability to strategize could make him a strong candidate.

Assume David White will quit. Who should be the new CEO?
  1. Tim Murdoch: Tim Murdoch is currently the Deputy CEO of NZC and has been with the organization for several years. He has a deep understanding of the operations and management of NZC and could provide a smooth transition as the new CEO.
  2. Justin Vaughan: Justin Vaughan is a former New Zealand cricketer and has previously served as the CEO of NZC from 2007 to 2011. He has experience in managing the organization and could bring valuable insights from his previous tenure.
  3. Michelle Hooper: Michelle Hooper is currently the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of NZC. With her experience in the organization and her knowledge of the cricket landscape in New Zealand, she could be a strong candidate for the CEO position.
  4. Ross Taylor: Ross Taylor is a highly respected cricketer who has served as the captain of the New Zealand team. While he may not have direct experience in cricket administration, his leadership qualities, cricketing knowledge, and reputation within the cricketing community could make him an interesting choice for the CEO role.
Pick your test team (took a bit of outlining including the contracts list, retirements, captaincy change, and telling it recent domestics players form).
  1. Tom Latham
  2. Devon Conway
  3. Kane Williamson
  4. Henry Nicholls
  5. Will Young
  6. Tom Blundell (wicketkeeper)
  7. Daryl Mitchell
  8. Kyle Jamieson
  9. Tim Southee (captain)
  10. Neil Wagner
  11. Matt Henry
  12. Mitchell Santner
  13. Doug Bracewell
  14. Ish Sodhi
  15. Blair Tickner

It's all time eleven is a trip
  1. Glenn Turner (Opening Batsman)
  2. Martin Crowe (Middle-Order Batsman)
  3. Kane Williamson (Middle-Order Batsman, Captain)
  4. Ross Taylor (Middle-Order Batsman)
  5. Richard Hadlee (All-Rounder)
  6. Brendon McCullum (Wicketkeeper, Middle-Order Batsman)
  7. Daniel Vettori (All-Rounder)
  8. Chris Cairns (All-Rounder)
  9. Tim Southee (Pace Bowler)
  10. Shane Bond (Pace Bowler)
  11. Trent Boult (Pace Bowler)
12th Man: Stephen Fleming

This lineup consists of some of the finest cricketers to have represented New Zealand. Glenn Turner and Martin Crowe were outstanding opening batsmen, while Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor are modern-day legends. Richard Hadlee is widely regarded as one of the greatest all-rounders in cricket history, and Brendon McCullum brings explosive batting skills to the middle order while taking up wicketkeeping duties.

The all-rounder trio of Daniel Vettori, Chris Cairns, and Richard Hadlee provides a perfect balance of batting and bowling prowess. Tim Southee, Shane Bond, and Trent Boult form a formidable pace bowling attack with their ability to swing and seam the ball.

Stephen Fleming, one of New Zealand's most successful captains, serves as the 12th man in this lineup. His leadership and batting abilities make him an ideal backup.

That rules him out of the race to succeed Stead.

For some reason I have the vibe that it's potentially Fulton vs Aldridge.

Auckland's coach Doug Watson seems to be doing a heck of a job with Scotland at the moment - wonder if he could be a candidate.

Hey, he's only on a short-term contract with Scotland anyway!
