    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Yeah but they're not going to pick anyone from the NZ XI game. That's just academic only.

    This Friday, on the 3rd I think.

    Yeah totally forgot Pakistan series will be on too then. If I were Finn Allen I'd give the IPL a skip. You never know somebody may bang a lot of runs and in no time Finn would be out of the squad. As much as Gary and Larsen back him there are high chances somebody may end up being more...

    And he looked pretty out of it in the warm up game too. The comeback came at a rather not so good time for him. A series vs SL will do him good.

    Nah I wouldn't change the team right now. I'd have Young batting at no.4. Conway and Latham still opening. Would definitely bring in Ajaz even if it is at the cost of some runs. In any case the no.7 we are picking aren't really contributing runs.

    And produce pitches that can aid games that can go to the 5th day. We are guilty of not producing pitches that make for good viewing just to get results our way. It worked in the past but it has come at a cost.

    That'll be so cruel, the man has had one test match as a comeback and when he was not at his best. He's way too good to be lost in the domestic circuit where batting can be a bit of a lottery given the kind of decks that's on display for the last couple of years in some centers. It's almost draw...

    No it's towards the end of the summer. After the Aussies finish their season I think. More like in April.

    *Official* England in NZ 2023

    I get what you say, that is my opinion too but the economics just doesn't allow I think. Australia, India and England have good following of cricket in general. They will always play at least 3 test matches against each other. In my opinion there should be 3 test matches at least, that should be...

    It's coming up in April 1st or 2nd week, that at least is what one of the bloke in the set up said.

    My team vs Aus A would be Ravindra Cooper Foxcroft Cleaver Tom Bruce (C) N Smith Shipley Chu KDC Clarke Ben Sears Ashok WP O'Rourke - 12th Rob O'Donnell - 13th Give Rob and O'Rourke a game each as well. Carter is out with injury and GP, Seifert, Allen etc are not going to be available due...

    As much as we talk up test cricket which is my favorite format it can't compete with the t20s and no one should even try to make it as such. Test cricket followers are niche and that'll stay that way. T20s fund test cricket in a way. This was one of the greatest ever test match no doubt but look...

    Don't think he's too far off but not too near either. He was picked for NZ A to travel to India but then got injured. He has played for NZ A in the last couple of years. Anyone that appears for NZ A would have a chance to make the BCs I'd think with some serious performances.

    On that, I'd be very disappointed if they don't pick young players vs Aus A at least half the team or more. The last NZ A to India was full of players nearing or over 30 whom they will not play in the immediate future for black caps.

    Foxcroft is going to be a gun player when he gets to play for black caps. From what I have seen so far, he's quite enterprising both with the bat and the ball. Sure people will point to his lack of hundreds in first class cricket particularly the management but now with one under his belt in...

    *Official* England in NZ 2023

    He's not a bad bat but you're right, he doesn't give himself time because he came through his performances in t20s, went really well with that approach in one dayers and tried to carry it to test cricket. To be fair to him he came up against in form bowlers, tough conditions here. Scored some...

    The good thing is we won. No one will the remember the misses unless of course we had lost it. There'll be massive noise tonight as bracewell will get home and it'll be heard through out the town. That'll be Bracewell's sigh of relief.

    Now for few months of away from watching ball by ball cricket I guess, much needed. After a high profile series like this thanks to England and bazzball for the excitement no disrespect to Sri Lanka but don't think I'll be up for the Sri Lanka series and the second XI games in Pakistan. Unless...

    That petered out to a tame draw. Well played Muller and duffy. Wish there were no run outs it would have been a good game. There was enough in it for the spinners and should have had spinners bowl from both ends. If they did otago would have gone for it too I think.
