    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    As this aging NZ test squad starts (continues) retiring. Of the the great players of this Era. I'd actually have Ajaz as the 3rd hardest to replace. 1. Kane 2. Wagner 3. Ajaz Where on earth are we going to find an experienced spinner , with the toughness to be in and out. Only play when...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Strongly disagree with this post. Players only selected when conditions are in their favor are not badly treated. Only area I'd agree is the one year Ajaz dropped off a central contract list. Need to treat someone who fits into the horses for courses policy with better respect (and medium-term...

    Was this player fundamentally ignored because of pace?

    I'm not English, nor ever saw any 1990s county cricket. But, I'm surprised the original premise of the OP hasn't been shot down (more strongly)by someone who is. The premise that Bicknell lacked pace. I recall Bicknell from the 1990/91 summer on his first tour and he didn't lack oace. England...

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    I think ND re-branding both the men's and women's teams with the same name is woke. I don't mind, I never used the nicknames. Although I'm more likely to use the name the Bravemen, but as a sarcastic pejorative , than I would ever have used the old one.

    Meaningless and stupid cricket statistics

    So, Hazelwood has now exited this chat.

    In terms of just watching enjoyment, how would you rank the various aspects of the game?

    Everything except A and B. Give them a toothpick and a Brian Lara backlift and A and B might be exciting again.

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    6 if over the fence, 5 if over the rope. Would be my suggestion.

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

    I think the more you refine the selection criteria, the more a small population becomes a hinderance. But, we are usually still way worse even than that explanation. I mean Windies are next smallest and they have won this comp. NZC don't spend money on it. They don't arrange bilaterals...

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

    Watching the YouTube highlights. Some delicious wickets by Rowe in his 5-fer, but most of the rest of them were by braindead batting by the Afghans.( Not that I can see if /what lead up to the crap shots) While in the second innings. I'd have to say the kiwis were bamboozled for about 7 of the...

    It would be handy way to get Ravindra in the 11. Ready to take over from he who we kid ourself "is just tired". Because we will need him sooner than Stead/Wells think. Conway is shot. Won't be in the 11 by end of season.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    His comments 2 years ago, when as WTC champions, after we lost our first home test v Bangladesh - sealed it for me that he is just an empty tracksuit. Something about NZ cricket fans being arrogant to expect to win test matches, like they are rugby fans. He's had his contract extended since...
