    Cricketers who should have played a certain format in international cricket , but for some reason were never picked ?

    Andre Adams should have played a lot of tests, instead only played one and did pretty well. Colin Munro was averaging 50 in FC cricket but also played a single test. They went with Nicholls to fill McCullum's number 5 spot. Both Adams and Munro got pigeon holed as a white ball players but had...

    Argh, that is heartbreaking for Severin and Wellington. Great game though and cool to see him and Clarke getting maiden tons. Kristian Clarke with a maiden five wicket bag too. Suspect he will be in Black Caps contention in the next year.

    *Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

    What a waste. I remember there was talk in the 90's of adding a North Harbour first class side given Auckland's population. There are probably a number of players in their club competition who would fare well at first class level. A number over the years have obviously made the Black Caps after...

    *Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

    Who was the last young batsmen to burst onto the first class scene like this? My recollection is Kane debuted at 17 and took a little while to adapt and started dominating the following season when he was 18. I guess John Aiken made a century on debut at 19. Ryder or Taylor maybe?

    Not sure that's a realistic expectation if you look beyond the recent golden era.

    Follows a good Super Smash opening. Could potentially partner Finn Allen in future.

    Was looking for a tweet about Williamson's average in run chases and saw this list of centuries in the 4th innings by active players.

    Presumably you think the make-up of the Sri Lankan team is racist too? What a toxic bigoted attitude. Sports teams can only pick who is available. If there is someone you feel is being excluded on the basis of their race that *would* be racist. Don't casually demonise white players by saying...

    You're complaining that Bracewell is white? **** off you racist ****.

    Happy to see Thorn Parkes getting some runs. He was such a stand-out in Gillette Cup and Under19's but just missed the cut-off for the WC. And kudos to Bruce Edgar and Wellington for backing 19yr old Muhammed Abbas. Now with a maiden first class century and half century after two games...

    Some gritty anti-Bazball batting from CD at Bay Oval. Smith out for 4 off 40 balls and the total 19/1 after 17 overs. Another day to survive.

    Ideal conditions for Quinn Sunde to come in to bat with Akl in a strong position. An unbeaten maiden half century to follow his 90 odd against England.

    Guessing this would have been originally scheduled for Eden Park OO before the flooding.

    Gutted the second day has been washed out. Was hoping Tim Robinson would get a hit.

    Martin Crowe using the handle Hogan. I wasn't on the forum at the time, but saw that thread later on. I think it was when he was making his club cricket comeback. It was pretty embarrassing the way some people questioned him tbh. He actually gave quite an interesting account of what happened...

    I hope Quinn Sunde debuts. Looked impressive in his 91 against England.

    I forgot about how shabbily Edgar was treated as selector. I didn't realize he had gone for the CE role when it went to David White. https://i.stuff.co.nz/sport/opinion/68614235/new-zealand-cricket-lose-a-good-one-in-bruce-edgar

    I think Larsen deserves some credit for the de Grandhomme selection? I always assumed that he was behind that. It would be interesting to know how much of a say he gets relative to Stead and the captain. If Edgar is coming back that would be great, although he's currently coaching Wellington...

    Larsen steps down. Moving to a role in the UK. https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/03/03/black-caps-selector-gavin-larsen-steps-down-for-job-in-uk/

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    It is disappointing although I'm struggling to think of players in team sports expressing concerns about the selection of another player? There are a number of reasons why people might not say anything (in addition to just being clueless). The person with the combination of traits most likely to...
