    *Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

    Don't mind getting it wrong but I'll give him one series, max two. Having watched west indies carve up off spinners I shudder at the thought. Imagine Pollard or Pooran or anyone from that side for that matter. Dhananjaya a reasonable bowler with tricks up his sleeve was smashed for 6 sixes only...

    Nicholls got to be the most ugliest batter going around surely. I can't think of anyone that's as bad aesthatically. Reasonable knock though but I'm glad to forget this series in a jiffy. Why do we have to play so many one day games vs Dutch, Ireland etc back to back with such frequency. Don't...

    The straight boundaries look like 45 meters.

    They're hell bent on proving their pick is decent. They'll keep giving a go till he comes good.

    Why would you have Allen playing one day but not t20s? T20s is his best suit. In fact he had the worse numbers even at domestic list A. I'd rather think he's a shoo in for t20s.

    Hugely disappointed Cleaver didn't get to play. No better opportunity than this series to have given him a go. It's a dead rubber as well. We'll get to watch Nicholls get to 50 and play for next 10 years maybe.

    What's happened to all our batters of late? Now Latham goes after like nicking off many times. Even Guptill has been squared up and beaten so many times. He's played some gun shots in between. We're such battlers. Starting to think if Kane, Conway and Mitchell don't show good form after this...

    Have to say it's so boring to watch Latham and Guptill batting vs Ireland. Rather watch Sears and Rippon bat. Helps them shore up their averages for the year though.

    How's he in bad form? Only recently scored couple of hundreds vs Dutch. Had couple of fifties vs England as well. Looked very tentative today and that was a very bad call for an non existent run.

    What's with Lanham of late? Little the bowler has barely done little in the series and Latham nicks the first ball through 3rd slip, then they move first to third and Latham duly obliges by edging him to vacant first slip and them missed a straight one resulting in lbw review. He's looking...

    If Sears can stay on the park he can be all format player for us in the long run. I can't see anyone else in the horizon that can be classified as fast medium or over (other than Lockie of course). Kyle could play 50 overs and be good at it but then the jury is still out on his t20 skills...

    Milne is out of the tour without having played a game. Lockie has only had one game to show. They pull up Duffy as Milne's replacement. The story of our faster bowlers, they are barely ever available for more than a game at a stretch. Hope Sears gets a consistent go now.

    True Henry still is probably the 5th best bowler for one day format but he has to be bowled out prior 40 overs like you said. He can play if there is sideways movement otherwise no point either. Bowled a very good first spell but to be honest vs Ireland it is very hard to judge. In fact all...

    You could say the same about Matt Henry. For him to have a great day, you will have to provide him with dirty green track that moves half a mile sideways. As soon as that stops it's just cannon fodder. Tickener was real bad. They would have probably picked him for the test side citing the bounce...

    Tbf he was run out but would have been out anyways at some point in time. Latham's was also not chance less, was dropped by the keeper once.

    Finn Allen was very good today, no ugly hoicks, no slogging (maybe barring couple of balls or three ?). Took his time, mostly played merit of the ball and when he got in he really cashed in. Oh left a lot of balls too which is quite unusual for him. Showing good signs

    So yet again we barely got there. Watched fair bit of our bowling. Got to say Ireland cannot bat. They're so out of sorts with the bat. Can't say we're any better but Irish batting just looks so out of it. Still lucky we won the toss both times otherwise we'll have lost both games. Looking at...

    Is Lockie injured? If not I'm absolutely pissed. Don't mind Duffy but they could have dropped Henry, he's been bowling lot of ****. I think some of our batters got lucky again. The deck looks very green and high chance we would have lost 5 for nothing.

    I don't hate him. I want him to do well and like I've said before he's definitely got future in t20s. I don't hate any players but do have favorites like everyone does. I have a fetish for class batting and super quick bowlers. Both are hard to come by. Have to confess it does irk me how...
