    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    I hope I get proven wrong but this has been one of the worst captaincy efforts in an innings I've seen in a while

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    And not reviewing an Lbw that was always worth a look. Latham was indicating by the looks that he thought Pant hit it. Massive error to not find out. You're never going to burn 3 reviews in 90 runs

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    Latham putting every single egg in the basket of these two guys is looking worse as they tire and become less effective

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    Some real formulaic, risk averse captaincy going on here. GP not threatening, id be going to Sodhi or Henry for a quick burst

    If only Southee was still captain..

    **** that always looked a close shout. Why not with 90 odd to win???

    :laugh: That's something our lower order would do. Great take and effect of the dismissal by Blundell. Game on

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    NZ posters will tell you it's Kyle Mills at 3 in 2006 chasing 249 to win in SA, with peak speed Ntini and Steyn taking the new ball...although he wasn't even a nightwatchman, we were 80-7 at stumps.

    I agree. But I don't think you mean after review, or do you?

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    My argument always has been that you're replacing uncertainty with irrefutably more certainty. I've never seen a sufficient argument to sway me and I've never felt that cricketers couldn't handle it that if the ball was showing to be clipping at X% (less than 50% for loose argument's sake) and...

    Can't agree with this, though. I love the idea of floating batting orders and think more sides should be more adaptable to it, in all formats. I remain surprised that teams don't have multiple players padded up and do it more

    See I don't disagree with this at all. I remember being told the benefit of the doubt part of the law has gone, but it's really marginal with how much that turned and the relative distance it has to the stumps as to giving it out. I wouldn't say it's a poor decision, but I feel like it's one...

    I was going to say we've got to 2-0 through taking the majority of our chances, but is that true?

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    I'm not doing this to be a dick (although I am one) but I've never felt like there was a dead rubber in Tests. Every single Test to me feels like a worthy event. I know I'm not alone, nor am I fully representative of the cricket masses

    Unpopular Cricket Opinions

    And hey that's cool, I probably find it hard to rate anyone I didn't see...but I'm not a historian of the game like a lot of people on here are. Obviously you have the contexts of uncovered wickets, lack of protective gear, long tours, only playing certain opponents etc. Like when best NZ XIs...

    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    That was the series of the worst dropped catch of all time, Denly shelling Kane at mid wicket, which let us coast to the series-winning draw.

    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    The only issue I see with Smith/Southee, and actually it's a Duffy issue, too, is those guys are pitch it up swing/seam bowlers. As I said before, Sears is a massive loss. Interestingly, to bring @thierry henry into the mix, Google says Duffy is 6 foot flat. That surprises me

    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    Wow, that's a stat. Mark Craig, 2014 v Sri Lanka? Took him 38 2nd innings overs to get it, too.

    Isn't the Mount the most spin friendly in NZ? Has the Basin changed in that respect?
