    *Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

    It's so good to see youngsters given a go by every domestic team. There are lot of young ones and they're doing quite well too. Gareth Severin is debuting for firebirds. Another good positive cricketer. Not sure if it's the right thing to do Troy Johnson for Devan V. Troy is one of the better...

    *Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

    Good on him for giving the four day game a go so close to ipl. Most players wouldn't risk an injury. There are no tests coming up after the SL series four like 6-8 months.

    Larsen moving on was definitely on cards but he wasn't a problem, it has been Stead. Can't wait for the new selector to not agree with the veto power Stead has. At the moment no matter what names are suggested by Larsen and the captain Stead can veto it. Technically Stead is the ultimate the...

    He's definitely not coached on what to say to the media. He has a chuckle at people knocking the door, disdain and likely saying **** em I don't care :laugh: His wanting to support through ebbs and flows which is great but what about Guptill, Ajaz, Young, Phillips, Ravindra etc.? He's best not...

    That guy is an Indian domestic cricketer from the past and a gun coach. He has helped a lot of New Zealand cricketers over the years like Raval, Sodhi, Ajaz Patel and a lot more. Shame he missed out playing for Aces. I don't think they understand you can be quite wristy and score runs in NZ...

    Don't think I'm going to be tuning in for the SL series. Can't be bothered. Did I hear Stead say the wtc points are important so sticking to the same team. That's us the one above Bangladesh. 3 overseas series and 3 at home discounting the one vs England that had no wtc points. Meanwhile...

    The least contracted player in any domestic side with 3 appearances in each format would have earned 38k including match fees. That's still a reasonable money for someone that is juggling studies and cricket, living with parents but not for someone that's trying to set up a home unless your...

    You do make a valid point but it is not easy for anyone to just go elsewhere and play. There are eligibility criteria to play in UK now. I think there is a bare minimum of 3 fist class games you need to have played in the last one year to play club cricket in UK. Besides the max a very good...

    *Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

    Wait till you watch him bowl at Basin. He will grab lot of wickets. He can swing the ball that's for sure. On basin decks early in the season he will grab a lot of wickets with that bowling that is if he pitches it up.

    His boss David White is happy though, that's all it matters to keep the job.

    *Official* England in NZ 2023

    I don't think Stead should give any interviews, he's best to be in the background and say nothing. Consistently he keeps saying we are punching above our ability but then we haven't won a home series 3 times in a row. He's setting a ceiling we can only be this good which is not true. Last series...

    Not very surprising, knew that all along anyways. There is no way Stead would cut Nicholls. There is no chance he's going to change the outlook of the team. He wants to sign off with a victory in test cricket. I'm sure he has already selected the world cup team and teams already for the rest of...

    *Official* England in NZ 2023

    Told you lot Wagner will play at least couple more years before he will think of retirement and obviously no changes coming any time soon. Stead will not last for the next series anyways so it doesn't matter. Although Larsen will last another 10 years :cool...

    *Official* England in NZ 2023

    Yup I think so too... He will get a standard call from Gary or Larsen asking to go back to domestic cricket and put some numbers which he will but by then someone else will take his place as it has happened before.

    I wouldn't call Young's selection was dodgy. He is the next cab of the rank. It didn't help in the end but it could have. It's all timing really.

    Here's our latest round of surviving batsmen in first-class cricket. Take a pick whom you want to pick as openers and middle order for the future from the list. The current bunch most of them will disappear within 3-4 years. How many batsmen from this list make 100% cut in the test team in...

    I'd think most of his runs have come opening the batting on tough decks. I think he may have done well in the middle order as well for NZ A. Can't be sure. If he's bowling it's got to be in the middle order. I can't see how he can bat at the top of the order and bowl fair number of overs. If...

    Sears is not even playing for Firebirds right now so don't expect him to be picked. By the time he gets through bowling loads in training to become test ready it will be at least 2 months. So park that right there. In any case this management has decided he is white ball only bowler in specific...
