    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    I realise Henry Cooper's T20 record was discussed probably a few pages back. But just to put some numbers around it, and highlight the problems of 16 man domestic squads (IMO) and coaches too close to former team mates. Before this season started. Cooper was 30 years old and had a T20 record...

    What is the cause for a lack of quality batsmen from the 92-99 generation?

    NZ s best from that period are a 27 year old and a 24 year old who have played 3 tests each. Phillips and Ravindra. The theory holds true for NZ.

    *Official* 2024 South Africa tour of New Zealand: 2 tests

    Replace the work "keen" with "worried" and it would be my exact thoughts. But if I posted that I'd be told to put in the gambhiring thread .... NZ as ripe for the picking as ever they have been for a decade. No red ball cricket. Batsmen are all in terrible form, or no games, or hobbling on 1...

    *Official* 2024 South Africa tour of New Zealand: 2 tests

    Mt Maunganui usually the best spinning pitch in NZ. And the forecast for the next week in the lead-up is unusually hot and windy for the upper North Island. The pitch will potentially be quite dry.

    ***Official*** Under-19 World Cup- South Africa 2024

    Asfand from Pak. HIs action reminds me of a Peter Taylor in the mirror (with a bit of Paul Adams at actual release). An interpretive dance run up and then a frog in a blender release.

    ***Official*** Under-19 World Cup- South Africa 2024

    I'm surprised to see / be reminded -that the NZ team made semis last time they played this comp in 2020. Because they didn't look a good team then and with 4 years hindsight to see how they have progressed, they still don't seem to have been a particularly talented cycle. IIRC they progressed...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    The last time NZ played 2 consecutive tests with the same lineup - was 2 years ago in the last time South Africa toured for a 2 test series. In that series NZ were missing their best batsman and bolwer (Kane and Boult) for the entire sequence series. The image below, (if it is big enough to...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    I'm jealous of South Africa playing some red ball cricket. Our entire top 7 are screaming out for a low-pressure hit. Assuming 2 of the 7 are even fit enough to walk.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    We've just had our best decade ever in our test match history. During this time we've had 2 to 3 145k+ bowlers available to us, with good-to-excellent ODI records, and refused to select them. This shows that they aren't essential to win test cricket. Although they make it a lot more fun. With...

    Sounds like a description of Foulkes, there. (except omitting mentioning the best inswinger around at the moment)

    thanks for posting. Other interesting part, at the end of the interview - the host monologues on the viewing numbers. Referencing Dylan Cleaver's e-mailer. On Sky - a good rating was considered 250k On Spark - that number dropped to 180k On TVNZ they are getting up to 800k He didn't mention...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    I can buy this argument pre-Jamieson. When we had CdG/Santner. CdG at 7 with a 4 man tail is in the realms of possibility. I wouldn't have agreed with it though. But, by 'being bitten at The Mount', I assume you mean v Bangladesh. Who were you dropping to give Ajaz a more consistent run...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    This bit is why I have Ajaz as the 3rd hardest player to replace from our great era. Such a perfect fit for that team and their horses for courses policy. He didn't always hit the ground running in the first test (but even then he sometimes did), but gee he was pretty unfazed about being...

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    Strange to see Jarrod McKay, who is with Otago, still playing for Nelson in Hawke Cup cricket today. I recall something similar with Felix Murray a few years ago (although he was still club level rather than Rep level for the province he moved to). So, obviously rules are pretty loose. With CD...
