    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    IPL auction story about Jabobs putting himself up as a long shot in the auction. Gist of it appears that decision is mainly based on doing well in the Brisbane T20 competition in August. But, maybe the most interesting factoid to take from that article is that Kyle Jamieson is also in the...

    Huh? Troy Johnson was in sri lanka? Are you getting names ending with "son" mixed up?

    He's 13 years younger than the youngest member of the ND starting XI last week. Will have to wait his turn.

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    They did call it off during tea. But, should withhold 1/12th of their match fees IMO. That is $3500 for 12 players for a session of cricket. Getting paid like they're in a subsidized trickle-down professional pyramid. But captains acting like it is amateur 1980s. Knocking off for early...

    Wasted opportunity not to give Toby Hart a game in this England warm-up 2-dayer. If Otago coach is cautious about a young quick in a 4-dayer PS natch, then fair enough. But if he is 12th man for 3rd consecutive time next week, yet missed that 2-day opportunity in his home town, then yuck.

    Cataloguing the best innings of X runs in test history

    Reminds me a bit of Andrew Jones's 4 on the first morning of Brisbane test in 87/88. Archive says it was 4 off 53 balls in 89 minutes. Batting at number 3. Jones was mincemeated in the following morning's Australian (Brisbane) newspapers . Which was quite widely reported back to NZ by the...

    I assume, with NZ being a kookaburra nation, that we use this 'new kooka' in Plunket Shield and home tests? Anyone know for sure, and if so, since when?

    It's interesting talking of how Phillips is always left to bat with the tail. England replaced their perfectly good wicket keeper because they wanted to replace him with someone who was good at batting with the tail. I don't have a strong opinion on this, but it is interesting where someone...

    I reckon J McKay myst have about 75% of his career wickets from bouncers. Therefore I enthusiastically clicked on CR McLachlan b McKay for a rare occurrence of what must obviously be a 'pitch it up' wicket.

    Kirsten quit as Pakistan white-ball coach, Gillespie still employed (at this stage) as test coach. But in 6 months time ... probably not.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    On Sky Sport (UK) podcast. Simon Doull was on as the guest, and he mentioned that he had 'first hand knowledge' that for the next blackcaps coach (when Stead's contract expires in 6 months) that the NZC cheque book will be out and they are prepared to pay significantly more, and are wanting a...

    He was left out of the Canterbury 11 last week. With Latham available (opening with Bowes).

    Probably mistake online by the scorers . I did notice the order of the 12 at bottom of the scorecard didn't match what the online scoring started with. Or absent injured. Another thing I have got in a huff about this morning, probably has a sensible explanation.

    He does have an extremely efficient looking bowling action.

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    On the missing blackcaps. Giving it more thought. I've worked out that they are missing each an away round. So, not a 'too much cricket' reason. But a 'too much time away from home" reason. I'm actually sympathetic to that. E.g. 5 nights in a Nelson or Dunedin motel is probably not required...

    There's something in the water in Canterbury Country. Hopefully that something is more mystical than just the march of Christchurch westwards into non earthquake-prone Canterbury Country satellite suburbs. I want it to be something like Peter Fulton super-coaching in Oxford (Or Darfield or...
