    Yeah, I guess this also confirms they have moved on from Kuggleleijn.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Will O'Rourke gives Brendon Donkers a lot of praise for his development since coming down from Akl. One I was slightly surprised by was when Kyle Jamieson rated Heinrich Malan as making a big difference to his bowling.

    Yep, Golightly might mention Burt Sutcliffe going out to bat head bandaged to face Neil Adcock with Bob Blair who's fiancé had died in the Tangiwai disaster (I first learned of that amazing story from his night show). Ron Snowden was superb on the domestic commentary (as were all those guys...

    I can imagine Mark Watson, Doug Golightly or Murray Deaker getting stuck into Allen over it then opening up the lines. Brendon Telfer would be quite good too.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    He ultimately seems to realise he can't have that at this stage. One thing I wish they had asked was when he said his dream growing up was to play for the Black Caps did that include test cricket? That has generally been seen as the pinacle. Allen has a century against England in red ball...

    I was hoping Heinrich Malan might take over but see he has extended his contract with Ireland to 2027.

    Worst case scenario he gets ~A$400,000 from the BBL alone. If it doesn't work out he can always return to play domestic cricket in NZ and make his case again for a future NZ contract.

    Martin Crowe was apparently mentoring Allen before he got sick, as he did with Taylor and Guptill. If he was still around I wonder if Allen might have made more of a go of first class cricket. A real shame he's gone down this route and as you say he probably won't be the last as these T20...

    I wonder how much money Allen could expect to make. I guess he could get picked up in the Big Bash, maybe the UAE or SA leagues. He doesn't seem to have attracted a large IPL deal to date.

    Good news for Tim Robinson I guess.

    Graham Thorpe dies aged 55

    He seemed to be really well balanced at the crease (just reading he made the England schoolboys football side too). Speaking of his bats, 12 yr old Kane Williamson inherited one Thorpe left to someone following the 2002 tour and made a truckload of runs with it. I first saw Thorpe when he...
