    Can a batting or bowling lineup without a worldclass/great level player be considered strong?

    It's tricky since they had probable ATVGs in Wagner and Boult and KJ was bowling to an ATG level during the 18 month WTC charge which really turned that team, briefly, into #1 (along with Conway's intro). KJ's performances against India obv get the most attention, but he dominated everyone he...

    New Zealand odi team of the 90s, should've been world beators?

    Averages look worse than they were due to inflation since 2007 WC, but no they were mid-table. The Bond era side had them comfortably covered and they in turn don't stack up against 2015 - 2019.

    Years or Test - Which is the best way to test longevity?

    Yeah with the ancient era needing ship travel, modern era expecting 3 formats but some teams play a lot more etc then years is fairest. Better to be an option for a long time rather than luck into the right era/team for max tests.

    Was Dan Vettori better than the stats suggest

    After his back injury he definitely became a bowler who needed good bowlers around him to be dangerous in tests because he could combine with Bond or Cairns or whoever to dial up the pressure cooker. Given NZ struggled to keep anyone remotely promising on the park during his career, his...

    Which current players are/will be ATGs?

    Some people are setting the bar pretty bloody high for the modern guys, especially batsmen in this era. 60 seems to be a bit of a cap across eras for people not called Bradman, but Kohli, Root and KW plus a few Tier 2 batsmen like Babar and Mathews would go to absolute pound town if they played...

    Who is the 2nd greatest Kiwi Bowler?

    Cowie 200 odd at 22ish against all the "Australians" and "Englishmen" sides who rocked up with their test bois but didn't want to label the game a test per se because they were so much better than NZ. Bowled to Bradman, got him out cheap, did some cool ****. Pretty confident it's him. The...

    Matt Rowe in for injured Dougeh according to Stags FB. Hope he goes well and is a gun bowler for us to carry the torch for the current gen.

    Sachin Tendulkar vs Richard Hadlee

    Thinking about Tendulkar's bowling makes me nostalgic for the days when every regular batsman in the world bowled something. Perfecting the ODI min-max formula or the uber-motorway era killed this, but I want it back. That and the pinch hitter, even though it hardly ever worked. I suppose the...

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    Yeah the obsession with Young opening (presumably because he looks so compact) is just dire from NZC. I get it - before Conway it was the gap, and Young bar the glorious WTC winning cycle loved to throw knocks away himself - but he has never looked like an opener except in very diluted...

    Yeah this is party time for the spin boys. Good time to see which quicks are going well like pre Xmas is for seeing which spinners still contribute.

    What an incredible game. I feared another 70-10 at half time. My only solace is it will bring pure ecstasy to all Melbourne residents who support the storm. All 4 of them will be dancing on the rooftops tonight.

    Best Fab 4 Subordinate

    Bit unfair to Pujara since The Boss was more important than his results show, yet his results were also why he was so important. I've said it longer elsewhere, but he was the senior batsman in his 6th test and this was the team sheet for that game. He had no right to achieve what he did when...
