    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Half the overs were bowled by Sulieman Benn, Marlon Samuels, and Darren Sammy. Respectively their averages were like 39, 45, 47. And I said in my initial post that there were exceptions. Guptill was capable of brilliance and he had like a 14 year career. I don't think it's wrong (if you have a...

    I said high pressure. NZ weren't losing at home to a team with three players in their top 6 averaging in the low-mid 20s like Johnson Charles, Jonathan Carter and Denesh Ramdin.

    Obviously there's exceptions because he had a long career but Guptill just wasn't a high pressure player, basically any limited overs tournament he had a crap record.

    Martin Crowe vs Younis Khan

    '85 - '94 Crowe was definitely right up there. https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=1;spanmax2=31+Dec+1994;spanmin2=01+Jan+1985;spanval2=span;template=results;type=batting

    Rachin should almost make himself unavailable for selection at this point. Playing at 7-8 in T20 internationals is doing him more harm than good.

    2023 FIFA Women's World Cup

    The difference in quality between Australia and the New Zealand side is wild.

    On the bright side, genuinely don't think I've seen such a strong group of fast bowlers for us. Boult, Henry, Ferguson, Milne, Jamieson, Southee. Obviously not all of them are in the best of form but you can't complain about that group.

    I'd swap Ravindra and Nicholls for Foxcroft and Clarkson.

    Anyone else only watching Collision from the AEW television options? Week to week it seems the most consistent, and although I find Dax harwood to be a whiny little bitch - FTR, Jay White, and CM Punk's style of storytelling seems a lot more my style. Also I was excited about the Wembley show...

    Would it be the worst idea in the world to put someone like Finn Allen at 7 and ask him to replicate what Bracewell did? Like either of Latham/Mitchell would be competent opening. 1. Devon Conway 2. Tom Latham 3. Kane Williamson 4. Daryl Mitchell 5. Dean Foxcroft 6. Glenn Phillips 7. Finn...

    Foxcroft's got to be in the ODI squad for the World Cup right? Especially with Bracewell injured, it's genuinely huge that he's eligible now.

    They could leave him as back up and just wait for an injury or something. There's like 40 days in between our first game and the finals if they get there.

    Do the Crusaders win literally every year. Seems incredibly boring, no wonder people have stopped watching.

    Is he eligible now?

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    It seems like a no-brainer in terms of skill, but if you start blocking talent like Shipley from making the side to accommodate 34-35 year old part-timers, you risk losing them altogether. Not everyone is going to hang around like Will Young did until he's 30 odd.

    *Official * Pakistan vs New Zealand 2023

    I think they are angling for something like this atm: 1. Devon Conway 2. Will Young/Finn Allen 3. Daryl Mitchell 4. Tom Latham 5. Glenn Phillips 6. James Neesham/McConchie 7. Michael Bracewell 8. Mitchell Santner 9. Lockie Ferguson/Tim Southee/Adam Milne 10. Matt Henry 11. Trent Boult

    I do find it slightly amusing that carnies like William Regal have to work under the guy who originally fired him again. Dude was a focal point of the main AEW storyline for no reason but still lied to Khan so he could go back to WWE.

    What was crickets best decade?

    Late '90s. Before Youtube, Facebook, Twitch, Tik Tok. Limitless entertainment options meant sport in general isn't as important to people these days. Better TV/radio coverage, better commentary, more star power because there were less shows to watch. And tbh while the average sportsmen of today...

    *Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

    Why are we playing Ravindra in ODIs when the dude averages 31 with the bat and 60 with the ball in List A. Maybe he performs initially, maybe he doesn't. But ffs pick him in his best format or not at all.
