    NZ U19's v Ind U19's

    U19 third test. NZ well in control after Day One: Tim Southee again in a destroying mood too. India: 124 all out. Rahane 56, Srivastava 22, Mahesh 15, Southee 4/48, Bartlett 3/33, Morgan 3/23 (look out for those 3 quicks, Bartlett particularly fast) Morgan's 3 wickets was also a hat-trick...

    How would you rank the teams? 07 version

    Well considering in recent times that NZ have beaten Pakistan, South Africa AND India..I find it difficult to see them being way down ranked #7 or #8. Not to mention a 4-1 result against the West Indies. The problem is that sometimes we capitulate quite badly to Australia and that makes things...

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    Well the England win certainly means that the last 2 games have extra spice. While im disappointed Australia dropped a game to England, I think overall for the competition it is great because at least the last 2 games won't be dead rubbers. New Zealand will now be desperate to beat Australia so...

    The Best Young Bowlers in the World

    Jeetan Patel looks a pretty good ODI bowler.

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    Im not so sure that means they're running scared. Ponting pretty much turns it on every game, he probably would prefer not to rest right now. If anything it shows Australia are confident to give their other batsmen a go.

    NZ U19's v Ind U19's

    Represented Western Australia at youth level I heard. This is his first season playing back in Auckland club cricket and he's already shot straight into the Auckland side. Looks a very solid player and plays aggressively too.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Selecting Michael Parlane would be a backwards step now I believe. He was only mentioned before as a band-aid solution to NZ's top order for the 2 test against Sri Lanka. Neil Broom is a player who could well make the step up for NZ in the next 2 or 3 years as he has been very consistent for...

    NZ U19's v Ind U19's

    Roneel Hira has been the other player to step up to First class cricket for Auckland.

    Yeah he took a 5 for before christmas for his club side Howick/Pakuranga. I'm absolutely certain Auckland cricket will be keeping an eye on him.

    ***Official*** Zimbabwe in Bangladesh

    De Grandhomme hit a century for Auckland 'A' not so long ago. I have heard he is aiming for citizenship here, I think he has at least another 2 years to go but he is young so it's no big problem. I think Auckland may look to groom him into their first class side next season if he is 100%...

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    Results don't mean much for me recently as we've been chopping and changing. In Melbourne we should be picking our first choice World Cup side, so from here on in we need to be getting serious.

    NZ U19's v Ind U19's

    Admittedly I forgot about Todd Astle. He made a quick progression into the Canterbury side, but I have noticed he hasn't been playing in the last 2 or 3 months.

    NZ U19's v Ind U19's

    NZ pulled off a huge result if you ask me. None of our U19's are anywhere near first class cricket yet Piyush Chawla has played international cricket and a guy like Ishant Sharma has also been talked about recently as an international player. The fact that we bounced back from the 1st test...

    ***Official*** Zimbabwe in Bangladesh

    Speaking of Zimbabwe, I saw the other day that Paul Strang now coaches Auckland 'A' and the side also features Colin de Grandhomme who has been a batting revelation in Auckland club cricket.

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    The big disaster for NZ has been the fall from grace of Hamish Marshall. For 2 seasons he was making the #3 spot his own and right now if he was playing well, our lineup would pretty much be complete. I think he's gotta forget about the World Cup now because he won't get there. He just needs...

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    I think NZ should start playing their first choice side, so in my mind Mills absolutely has to replace Franklin and then it comes down to whether the team thinks they need to play the extra spin of patel or the pace of Gillespie. Our next match is at the MCG so Im guessing Patel will drop out of...

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    Fulton has at least been consistently getting starts. But he will need to convert one of these starts into a decent score sometime soon. Styris has a much cooler head on him than McMillan does and is more likely to battle out a tough period of play. Plus for the balance of the side it makes...

    The Best Young Batsmen in the world?

    Taylor definately likes to dominate and I think sometimes he struggles to build an innings in first class cricket BUT he did score 212 off 214 balls late last year. So he might be learning from his time with the NZ team.

    ***Official*** ICC World Cricket League

    Englefield would be a good addition to the Dutch line up for sure. For years he was touted as being a very promising batsman for NZ but he never really got going. He was part of the NZ U19 team that had the likes of Vincent, Mills, Franklin and the Marshall brothers.
