    Interesting dilemma if Jamieson is fit. Probably just misses out.

    That would be nice. It's super annoying but that problem pre-dates White's tenure. Just looking at Sri Lanka's schedule they seem to be locked into 2 test series as part of the FTP also.

    And South Africa. Two tests each. https://www.cricschedule.com/ftp/team/new-zealand.html

    Yeah, he specifically mentioned the home test series next year. Would be ace if he's genuinely available, but would probably need some negotiation with Stead and incoming CE given the preference for contracted players.

    Mitchell rested. Would have preferred to see Ravindra or Bowes open and Young move to 3.

    Adding Boult, Conway and Phillips would potentially make quite a difference to this side. As it is there have been a number of good performances from the replacements but Pakistan have played well. Pakistan should be a real threat at the WC. They have a strong team. But for Afridi's injury...

    Given his age I did wonder if his parents got his first name from the great movie Days of Thunder. Stoked he did well, seems a super nice guy whenever he's interviewed.

    Risk dew may have been a factor too, but yeah understandable they want to try something different. Wish I could stay up to watch.

    Super disciplined start from Henry and Milne. A bit harsh on Bowes that he finally gets a fifty and gets replaced with Blundell.

    Speaking of under 19's Benji Culhane who scored a superb ton at the under 19 tournament a couple of years ago as a 17 yr old is debuting for the Black Sticks. https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/04/14/former-all-blacks-son-to-debut-for-black-sticks-men/

    Gary Ballance retires from all cricket after brief Zimbabwe comeback

    In his book Duncan Fletcher said if he'd been coach in the 90's he'd never have dropped them.

    Doubt Stead is a John Lennon fan. More John Farnham.

    That game does have a special place in my heart as I went out to a friend's place so set the VCR to record the second innings. First time I had done that for sport other than WWF. I was 9 and that video became my coaching manual.

    Yeah, Douglas along with Chris Harris was one of the best fielders in the country. Mark Bailey was kind of Hamilton's answer to Mark Waugh. As @Smudge said, a tall elegant player who stroked the ball with exquisite timing. He used a Slazenger bat like Waugh too. Speaking of old catches, I...

    Imran Khan refused to play in the 1990 series when Hadlee, Sweden & Bracewell had retired and Wright and Jones didn't go. David White opened the batting in the tests.

    I didn't realise Joseph Romanos had written a book about him. Apparently John Reid said he was the most underrated player for NZ. I remember Martin Crowe said he would go to Wallace to make sure his technique was in order too...
