Damn, Daryl Mitchell rich now. He can probably buy all of Huntly with that money.
Saw that, and at a rough conversion that's $2.7M NZD, almost enough for a 10% deposit on a house in Auckland.Damn, Daryl Mitchell rich now. He can probably buy all of Huntly with that money.
That's one player free for the Tom Latham's All-Stars tour of Pakistan in AprilMeanwhile Lockie goes unsold & hardly a surprise following his recent jitters.
Yep, it makes sense as he's a big moments player. And I like it as an NZ fan because he still cares in all formats for us. I won't watch it because I abhor the IPL but I hope he goes well.Saw that, and at a rough conversion that's $2.7M NZD, almost enough for a 10% deposit on a house in Auckland.
Joking aside fair play. Dude's been a champion for a good 2-3 years now.
It's because he started performing I thinkGuessing NZC has moved on from Tickner? From making all sides last summer (or so) he hasn't been included in a squad, let alone a playing XI, in how long?
Has he shaved off his moustache? Maybe he looks too young to be in the national side any more?It's because he started performing I think
In those 2 squads, I guess 2 younger guys are doing his role. O'Rourke in the ODIs and Sears in T20s.Guessing NZC has moved on from Tickner? From making all sides last summer (or so) he hasn't been included in a squad, let alone a playing XI, in how long?
Proteas Test squad for New Zealand tour:
Neil Brand (captain, Titans), David Bedingham (Western Province), Ruan de Swardt (North West Dragons), Clyde Fortuin (Rocks), Zubayr Hamza (Lions), Tshepo Moreki (Lions), Mihlali Mpongwana (Western Province), Duanne Olivier (Lions), Dane Paterson (Western Province), Keegan Petersen (Rocks), Dane Piedt (Knights), Raynard van Tonder (North West Dragons), Shaun von Berg (Rocks) and Khaya Zondo (Dolphins)
The bowling looks kind of good honestlyI wonder how we'll conspire to lose against this off-Brand team
That's what worries me. Half competent seam attack on NZ pitches, we're basically relying on KaneThe bowling looks kind of good honestly
Same. But tbh I've only heard of / seen Zondo (especially) and perhaps Hamza due to quotas.It's a lot better than we were lead to believe imo.
Bedingham, Hamza, Oliver, Paterson, Petersen, Piedt and Zondo are all names I recognise.
I thought they were sending the equivalent of what we would send if Super Smash took precedence. The classic NZ XI.
Hamza is/was a legit pick. Looked really promising at one stage.Same. But tbh I've only heard of / seen Zondo (especially) and perhaps Hamza due to quotas.
