*Official* New Zealand tour of UAE and England 2023

[Neil Young]

We are just so incredibly second best here.

 

[thundaboult]

Pretty big gap between us and england in all formats of the game.

 

[Neil Young]

This is embarrassing.

I hope Foxcroft, Ashok, and Clarkson play all the T20s this summer.

Yep. We really need to change things up somewhere. There are too many passengers in this side.

 

[Neil Young]

Doull talking about bringing Guptill back. Jesus.

 

[GIMH]

Will NZ be more competitive in the ODI series? Genuinely expected better contests

Madness

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Will NZ be more competitive in the ODI series? Genuinely expected better contests

We've picked Henry Nicholls, so probably not

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Milne was really good, Seifert was pretty decent (kept better than expected), and the rest dreadful.

Too many years of conservative rule coming home to roost...

 

[GIMH]

Too many years of conservative rule coming home to roost...

We’ve played our best white ball cricket under conservative rule

Someone booked dinner at 9.

I don't get the obsession of nz pundits/comms with Guptill. Gups been done for a while now....ffs leave it alone

 

[kevinw]

TBF I'd have been backing away to square leg if I was Lockie facing that.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

That was abject. It was like the 1990s.

 

[trundler]

Genuinely been a wicket every time I've refreshed my feed. Over inside 14 overs twice in a row. Oof.

 

[Neil Young]

We’ve played our best white ball cricket under conservative rule

Yeah, hoping that the inevitable NZ Tory election win in October will change our cricket fortunes.

I'd take a conservative government for that.

 

[thundaboult]

We’ve played our best white ball cricket under conservative rule

Disagree. The most watchable white ball cricket we played was around and inside the 2015 world cup under mcccullum in recent times. That was anything but conservative.

 

[mackembhoy]

Doull talking about bringing Guptill back. Jesus.

He's just hit 100* in the CPL and Allen looks terrible.

 

[trundler]

That was abject. It was like the 1990s.

Hartland > Allen

 

[Neil Young]

That was abject. It was like the 1990s.

We were terribly mismanaged in the 1990s also.
