    Is that 6 runs in half an hour since lunch? Good pressure by SA.

    He announced he was standing down, and then got re-appointed without anyone else applying as far as I know. (we don't have a cricket media anymore, so who knows). I'm not sure it was an attractive position. A team of eleven 30+ year olds with only one direction to go.

    The difference between being frustrated with Latham/Conway and being frustrated with Southee/Wagner - is that there aren't any quality or promising alternatives for the opening batsmen. We are talking either Solia or Cooper. And Cooper's been a discussion of bemusement in the domestic thread...

    In the spirit of Captain Hindsight. Here's a quirky stat. Santner has taken 44 of his 113 FC wickets at the 2 grounds being used in this test series.

    Run-out on Test Debut

    Not sure of the circumstances. Didn't get televised cricket out of the West Indies back then. I have in my mind the unlucky deflection, but don't know how that has formed in my mind.

    A point wiht the current Canterbury bowling depth. Is that Canterbury Country is currently very strong. And Foulkes, Sheat, Shipley have played quite a lot of Hawke Cup cricket on their ways up. Which is a bit of an advantage (over Auckland and Wellington) now that 'A' cricket has dried up to an...

    He's looking good, actually, in domestics this season. Overtaken by O'Rourke, quite rightly. But he is on a level way above current-Wagner. Should be in the frame for a next few years given the fragility of tall seamers. I'm not saying he's 'world class'. But 3rd 4th seamer is one of the...

    The website shows they have 4 international-quality football fields. So, there is space. https://www.nzcis.co.nz/training-recovery/world-class-turf

    Hadn't heard of it. But looking at the website doesn't look to have any cricket specific facilities. But would be an obvious place. But need turf wicket wickets with the Foryth-Barr type material marquee.

    Run-out on Test Debut

    Ken Rutherford got a pair on test debut as a 19 year old opening batsman away v mid-80s Windies. The second duck was a run out without facing a ball. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/new-zealand-tour-of-west-indies-1984-85-62106/west-indies-vs-new-zealand-1st-test-63399/full-scorecard

    Although in a more serious post than just "move to Canterbury". I mean Canterbury have a seam bowling depth chart of Henry Jamieson O'Rourke Shipley Foulkes Rae Sheat How do we get that good coaching spread around? Is it just a freak/coincidence for this concentration at Canterbury at the...

    Good smarts by O'Rourke to move to uni in Canterbury and get access to that good coaching (like Jamieson's path). IIRC, I'm pretty sure I have heard or read O'Rourke crediting Dayle Hadlee (if I'm not mixing him up with Big Kyle, who I know also did this). Toby Hart, Jarrod McKay. move north.

    The Thommo method of Bowling

    Was watching some footage on YouTube last night and he was starting his run from the edge of the 30m circle. Tiny little shuffle steps. The 12-14 pace run up has its own mini run up?

    Ok, lets give my reverse powers another outing. ..... Phillips will go wicketless. At huge RPO.

    No quandary for me. Can't believe they picked Wagner tbh. Although he bowled well tbf, but he was bowling a CdGish role rather than a Wagner role. Don't think we need a non-batting CdG.

    BTW. Phillips injured shoulder first innings and won't/can't bowl this test. Don't think I've seen post about that yet.

    Complaceny klaxon, Complacency klaxon !!!! But, yeah I agree. (But I also think NZ are capable of not moving up any gears, coz they're in the decline)

    I started watching the sport as a kid the last 3 years of Howarth's career. He just seemed part of the pack at that time (all our batters seemed about even), It wasn't until his last season in 84/85 that it became painful or apparent (e.g. the commentators started mentioning it or feeling his...
