    England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    I’m happy to give GP some credit in the bank. He should be batting ahead of Blundell for sure and probably always should have been. I just suspect that every so often he’s going to be dismissed in a frustrating way - either due to mode of dismissal or the position of the match. Regardless, I...

    England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    Might be able to give you my ticket for one of the days at the Basin. Probs not the weekend though, though might be willing/able to sub you in on Sunday afternoon when I've had enough. If you're still around Wellington around the match, keep in touch and I'm sure we can sort something out.

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    5 wicket haul for Paul! The slow play from CD hasn't worked. Or it's a dastardly deck.

    Not sure what the go is with Nick Greenwood. He was down to bat 4, but now coming in below van Beek. Wellington have a long tail, so it's odd to pick a batsman to do this. Seems a straight swap of Younghusband and Greenwood in the batting order... Unless the scorecard's wrong.

    You just have to find the balance mate. I think most players are in a similar boat - understandable when you're starting work that you need to get that bedded in before taking on other ****, but most of us have had to find that balance to make it work. And have to accept that sometimes the...

    Phosphates too. Don't forget the phosphate.

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Some odd selections. Younghusband to open? No Lennox for CD, but going with Angus Schaw as spinner (I presume). Siddhesh Dixit making a debut for Auckland (not even heard of this chap). Dunno much about Janett either though from what I've seen and heard, Cam Paul should be good. I was going to...

    It's quite slow going, and I won't be convinced I've got the balance right until towards the end. Shame you didn't play!

    Right Arm Offspin - Can't get any overspin

    There is something to be said for knowing your own brand of ROS and the pitch you're playing on and being able to set a decent field accordingly. In the Hutt Valley, for example, where there's no bounce in the decks and the chances of even a long hop being smoked square, having someone 3/4 of...

    Needs more Russel Arnold.

    Official Rugby Thread

    Reading the commentary, England got pinged for a dummy line out throw when they were on attack with a Saffer in the sin-bin. That seems more than a little poor.

    England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    That Test was fantastic in the way it allowed me to get back behind him for at least 5 minutes. He came out and batted with purpose before unleashing his usual method. I just wonder how many more runs he'd have scored in his career if he'd taken that approach more often. Do you think he'll play...

    That’s dick batting in the circumstances. Time to invoke the infamous no dickheads policy.

    Think I would have picked Cam Paul if I had another round to go. Reckon he could get a run at some point and go reasonably well.

    I see Ollie White is now playing for ND A. How's that gone down locally, I wonder.

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Great shot from Travis Muller, the Nightwatchman, to be dismissed before the close of play. The having to open the bowling with spinners due to bad light didn't turn out so badly for CD, aye.

    Jayden Lennox. I don't think he's been picked.
