    2023-2024 New Zealand First-Class Draft

    Imagine dropping into a thread in the games section to announce you won't be entering that draft. What a narcissistic diva.

    2023-2024 New Zealand First-Class Draft

    I think this is my optimal squad, if I were to completely keep my mitts off all NZ-born players. I'm fairly keen to just enter this squad and not draft at all in the coming weeks tbh, if there aren't any fierce objections. I get the feeling the big and bold pull shot game of Phillips may well...

    2023-2024 New Zealand First-Class Draft

    I'll invite @straw man or @Prince EWS to write a sensible final rule on that, or ditch it entirely. The factors to consider are missed chances, byes, fatigue having a deleterious effect on the guy's batting performance.

    Yeah I am open to ditching that new rule, or someone reconfiguring it and softening the edges on it in some way.

    2023-2024 New Zealand First-Class Draft

    Yeah that one is for people like me who tend to make Conway or Latham my wicketkeeper, even though they never do any first-class wicketkeeping. Hopefully it rewards those who select someone like Horne or Chu.

    2023-2024 New Zealand First-Class Draft

    If you get a few hours to turn this into code anytime between now and the end of the year for us, I'd really appreciate it @HeathDavisSpeed. A couple of players (CdG and Phillips) had to become Class C after I examined their recent stats and found they didn't quite cut it for Class B. I also...

    2022-2023 New Zealand First-Class Draft

    About a month away now from NZA playing a couple of first-class four-dayers in Australia. Drafting for the 2023/24 edition can start on Friday 11 August. Seven teams or fewer, co-drafting a team will be allowed if you've arranged it via PMs. Winners from previous seasons who've entered before...

    *Official* Australia A in New Zealand 2022/23

    Yeah the Aussies felt like they owed that new kid Abbas nothing and were quite keen to board a plane for Australia at the earliest opportunity. It was a Kiwi regular posters on CricketWeb thing to do.

    Athlai did sacrifice a lot aesthetically to get this victory (Macewell batting at 3, Hampton at 4), but he didn't sacrifice his loyalty to Wellington players which was nice.

    Looking great for Athlai now. 57 more points needed to take the win.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Yeah not sure my dream of 100% braai guy purity in my draft teams will ever come to pass though tbh. Perhaps the only one in the frame for cracking that team right now who we all don't know too much about yet would be Severin. If only Elon Musk would take advantage of a porous southern border...

    *Official* Australia A in New Zealand 2022/23

    Yes but bowlers of the Sean Davey ilk are taking 7/25 in a Shield innings these days. In the same way you should be able to tell an early 2020s Daryl Mitchell or Tom Blundell just had so much more going for them than the early 2010s Kruger van Wyk ever did, the same is true when mulling over...

    You've remained Podium Chewie by the looks of it. Four out of the last five seasons you've been third or better.

    2022-2023 New Zealand First-Class Draft

    Every van Beek point gains ground for Athlai on Straw Man, whose team has finished the season on 7952.4. 164 needed for Athlai to win the title, van Beek has 71 of them just after tea on day 1. Solia contributes from his 79th point of the game.

    Still looks pretty gentle through the crease, Kristian Clarke. Probably needs to not be into a walk before the ball is down the other end. Otherwise they'll just opt for Solia and get some opening batting thrown into the bargain.

    *Official* Australia A in New Zealand 2022/23

    Don't tell me it's now up to 7 (next best 1) on the wickets chart. Once again, it seems only those who are quite close to being a cop, or quite close to being a crim, are handling their encounter with 'Agro the puppet' very well.

    Yes McConchie made the T20 touring squad, didn't he. Those players are on a plane to Pakistan tomorrow.
