    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    That squad is pretty depressing, it’s pretty much just a team of domestic stalwarts. I’ve made my views on this current selection panel quite obvious over the years but they’re really going to put New Zealand cricket in a hole if they don’t up there game and get a little creative when it comes...

    *Official* New Zealand in West Indies, AUG 10 to 21, 2022

    Look, I obviously absolutely love the guy but I’m starting to get a little bit over the whole Kane Williamson always injured thing. What’s going on here, is he just insanely injury prone, not putting in the fitness work etc. You can already start to see some of the cricketing public here in NZ...

    I don’t think most of you lot realise how money is actually made and split amongst most sporting organisations/leagues ?

    If they paid Boult more he would’ve stuck around, no doubt about it. We’ll see more players around New Zealand do the same. What’s the saying, go woke go broke. Well NZC might not go broke but they’re about to lose a host of players

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    There were plenty of Black Caps not happy with that deal. You’re paying Trent Boult 2500 per 20/20 game, the same as some no name women’s cricketer who again, don’t bring in the same attendance nor tv numbers as someone like Boult. All you fellas cheering for the equal pay, I hope you don’t...

    First causality after the equal pay deal. Will be more to come just like I said.

    *Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

    Look no further than his ODI debut in South Africa. I’m pretty sure Neesham made his debut in the same game but all game long we heard how McClenaghan was this enforcer type with pace, he averaged between 130 and 135 the entire game. Neesham on the other hand just strolled in and was bowling 140...

    It’s probably almost a decade ago now but he was a absolute gym rat back then. It was around the time he made a NZ squad as a opening bat with John Wright coaching but he was benching 150 plus etc which for anyone especially a cricketer is up there. Who knows if he’s still into the same...

    Yeah I get where you are coming from. My view is that of a current men’s cricketer I guess. Where I’m looking at it as that’s ‘my money’ you’re giving away. And trust me there is definitely one that thinks like that ?

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Y Of course it will don’t be ridiculous. Under the collective bargaining agreement signed by NZC and the players association they obviously came to what they thought was a fair amount per player per game in regards to what NZ cricket is making off each game. Seeing as the women don’t bring in...

    Placing our bets on "Test Cricket's Young Fab Four"

    It feels like Williamson misses more tests than he plays.

    If that last comment was directed at me I think it’s pretty uncalled for and to be perfectly honest pretty childish. It’s why I absolutely hate talking about this subject, it just turns into a **** fight. But you’re definitely someone whose posts I always enjoy reading so I really want to reply...

    It’s stupid. It goes against the simple economics of why sports “people” are paid what they are paid. This isn’t a Men vs Women thing at all. The best example I heard this morning was a comparison between the NBA and the NBL (two different basketball leagues for people that might not know) The...

    Picking Bracewell as a bowler (hell if he was picked as a batsman) you deserve to lose your job on the spot. Honestly this is embarrassing at this point.

    Yeah, I mean we all loved BJ but it’s was quite obvious during those last 12 months he was done at this level. Blundell has played some excellent innings during his short career so far.He could be a level a live Watling if he’s that type of guy normally
