    A comparison of Test bowlers with 300 wickets

    For the small sample size guys. (If I have understood the maths correctly) Kyle Jamieson: 19.74, Others 31.86. 38% better.

    On the subject of support crew. Does anyone else find it bizarre that 2 of the Big 3, with all their resources, currently have NZers as their spin bowling coaches. I mean, spin bowling?!! , from NZ!, of all things?

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    Stead actually was the right guy at the right time. He was the right guy for the 2 or 3 year steady as she goes, keep it in the background, team can run it self - phase. (although even that phase almost went of the rails with Aus tour of 2019/20) He absolutely wouldn't have been the right guy...

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    3 years is pretty standard term (hint, hint Steady). So, probably not much in it. But, I've not been a fan at all since the tone-deaf Ave selection. Might be a bit awkward for Cumming snr with 2 of his sons coming through.

    Why didn't Sears play Plunket Shield round? The first chance to play red-ball for 3 months. Because he isn't robust enough to last 4 days? While I had 100% confidence in O'Rourke being a test bowler, I don't have that for Sears, because I don't see the control of any sideways movement. (but I...

    No incentive for a draw (bit of a whole in the points awards structure). Both at the bottom of table. https://archive.nzc.nz/Events/Tables/Plunket_Shield_2023-24.html

    Very good all-round game for Smith after a dodgy start to the match with the ball in the first innings.

    Putting on an amateur psyhologists coat. But I think Jesse was always going to self-sabotage, not matter what NZC or the team did. Destruct before you are rejected, etc.

    The team is cooked tbh. On the precipice of a huge fall that will become more apparent in hindsight. A terribly coached, selected, and captained team that have aged in unison and will be spending the next 2 years playing whack-a-mole trying to patch the holes that keep springing up when your...

    Isn't he an opener at club level? Stop with this babying of batsmen. If players need to be 'protected' from opening even at A level, then they'll never make it at PS level. Whether opening or middle order. Do we want to raise a generation of Tom Bruce's?

    I assume Parkes has gotten injured? Not seen at the batting crease yet this innings.

    In terms of the Donnelly/Cowie sides. NZ didn't play anyone other than England (plus 1 v Aus) for their first 22 tests and first 21 years except for 2 tests v South Africa. Including an 8 years gap of zero tests around WW2. Took us 22 years to first start playing our peers (those given test...

    Davey, like Kelly. Spent too long in the ND Bs before moving.

    No. Probably thinking of the Aucklander, forgot his name. Edit. Simon Keene.

    flem's point about the young domestic openers is not a good one at all, IMO. Apart from the Wellington openers (who are a bit shoe horned), his theory holds zero credence. Otherwise, all the young openers are proper young openers or top order. It's just a coincidence in timing, IMO, that...
