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

    NZ's chances of beating Australia in the VB Series will improve dramatically if McGrath isnt there. I can't count the number of times now that McGrath has destroyed the NZ team when they've been in a position to win.

    Retirement of McGrath/Warne: Good for cricket?

    As was mentioned, it's just evolution. Everybody knows this was going to happen at some point in the near future. Players only have a certain number of years in them. Losing Warne and McGrath will be a huge blow for Australia no doubt as they pretty much guarantee you wickets every match.

    The Future of English Cricket

    England aren't the first to lose to Australia. But the current series shows just how big the gulf is between 1st and then the rest. I think the current England squad would beat pretty much every other side right now. Cook, Bell, Collingwood, Pietersen in particular could form a very strong...

    Martin Snedden to quit NZC

    I was reading an interview with Anthony Stuart who is coaching the Firebirds. He said one of the biggest differences is the gap between Club and FC cricket in this country. Sounds a bit like what Australia are experiencing with their rugby huh? He also said that Aussie state sides play...

    Geraint's run out and the spirit of the game

    This might have been mentioned elsewhere but during the Perth test Ian Chappell raised the point that if Brendon McCullum had not taken the stumping then Stephen Fleming should have given him a kick. The test arena is not a charity, I agree with him.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    James Marshall is a bit of a joke selection considering he looked woefully out of his depth last time he played international cricket. I have no idea why they aren't giving Ryder a crack. There must be something holding him back...perhaps his fitness?

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Although it's disappointing that Canning threw in the towel, I think it might be a blessing in disguise. Let's face it, he was never going to make the BC's again and he was taking up an opening bowlers slot for Auckland with his medium pace. I hope Auckland looks to try and blood in a new...

    Martin Snedden to quit NZC

    It's no wonder they allocated more ODI games, just look at how many people turn up to test matches here!

    ***Official** Sri Lanka in New Zealand

    McMillan will be thanking you, but I think he's got no chance of making the team at least until after the World Cup. It's a real shame about Macca, he was probably one of the most naturally talented players NZ have produced but he's too often reckless and arrogant. Whoops, then I read it was...

    ***Official** Sri Lanka in New Zealand

    NZC should have known from the previous summer that Malinga's action was going to be a problem at the Basin, they did nothing about it..so the players and management can only blame themselves for not sorting the problem out.

    ***Official** Sri Lanka in New Zealand

    Yeah I agree that Oram looked stupid against Murali, he obviously has a weakness against spin which is not particularly good considering he could get a huge stride in. I just get the feeling with Oram sometimes that he doesn't play completely to his potential. I mean with his height and power...

    Martin Snedden to quit NZC

    Snedden has been offered and has accepeted the position of Rugby New Zealand 2011 CEO for the World Cup. I'd like to thank Martin Snedden because I think NZC has progressed under his guidance and from the outside he's never really seemed to try and spark any trouble with media or players. His...

    ***Official*** India in South Africa

    oh so it's a 3 match series. Wish NZ and Sri Lankan fans had been given the same.

    ***Official*** India in South Africa

    I think it will be a reverse of the NZ/S.L series. South Africa to win the next test.

    ***Official** Sri Lanka in New Zealand

    Let's not forget that Oram scored a century in South Africa not so long ago. He was pretty ordinary in this series but the injury didn't help his cause. Im sure Oram, McCullum and Vettori are getting sick of coming in at 90/5 all the time..the finger should be pointed at Cumming, How...

    ***Official** Sri Lanka in New Zealand

    NZ have lost this test, I think that is almost certain.

    ***Official** Sri Lanka in New Zealand

    Yeah, Jamie How is the runner. Im not sure how long Oram will last as you really need to move your feet against Malinga right now and because the wind is so strong, Murali is bowling into the wind and you need to use your feet to be able to reach the ball because it is barely getting down the...

    Oram has a leg-strain...not particularly good news. The Black Caps are currently doing nothing to convince the media that they deserve better right now!

    ***Official** Sri Lanka in New Zealand

    New Zealand are undone by a genuine quick time and time again. I cannot believe why this happens when they have Shane Bond bowling to them in the nets. Another failure for Sinclair, he's got one last chance to put up a score or else he'll be gone again. Malinga is bowling unbelievably...

    My mistake, it's Wellington who are 45/8 against Otago. Otago have really been on fire this season.
