    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Agree with pretty much all of this. We keep hearing that the players have to "take care of their families". Well, Kane Williamson and Trent Boult have accumulated IPL contracts north of NZD$10m each so far. Now I understand that's pro rata, and NZC takes a little, and their agents take more...

    *Official* South Africa in New Zealand 2022

    Thanks man. Only came back to see what folks were saying about this utterly insipid performance by NZ. Couldn't resist biting on the revenue thing; it's been grinding my gears for as long as they've been saying it.

    *Official* South Africa in New Zealand 2022

    My theory is that when NZC says that hosting a test loses them x number of dollars, they are totaling the associated costs in their budget for that test, e.g. venue hire, staffing, advertising, corporate entertainment, etc. *before* it has taken place. I think that they are not counting...

    I'm so very tired of watching Southee get taken apart.

    *Official* Bangladesh Tour of New Zealand 2019

    I agree Bennett's been shafted but if you look at Henry's performances this season he's been pretty decent. He's been hammered a couple of times - once when everyone was - but has otherwise been pretty economical and takes wickets too. Edit: Basically I think he's a good bowler who started...

    I think he's improving the more games he gets. At any rate there's no obligation to bowl him at the death, there's plenty of other options.

    I mean I want him to do well but jeez he makes it hard to like him. He's still leaked 53 runs off 8 today and bowled too many damn wides.

    Not personally a huge fan of CdG as a first choice player. Would like to see Sodhi more often than not. Third seamer for me is Henry, every day of the week.

    This is Southee's first 4+ wicket haul since his famous 7-fer at the World Cup, exactly 4 years ago. This should be enough to keep him in the team for another 4 years *sigh*

    Yeah, I just don't understand it. He must have filthy pictures of someone.

    I'd be happy if Southee never wore the silver fern again, but sadly I can't your scenario happening.

    ***Official*** Trans-Tasman Twenty20 Tri-Series

    Did some digging. Usually in a case like Chapman's, he would have to wait 3 years regardless of his father. However according to the ICC's eligibility rules, the stand down period "will not apply in the case of a male player who has represented an Associate Member and is seeking to represent a...

    How come Chapman can play for NZ when he played for another country less than two years ago?
