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

    Thought of not watching say more than an hour's cricket but then we had Allen, Locke, Phillips and co. Tector entertained, it was fun watching him bat after he got to 80+ I thought we'll get to 100+ for no loss or maybe 1 down by 10 overs and I could go to sleep but not to be. Seeing the size...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Like @Flem274* said above wait up for the series' against the men's sides later this year + t20 WC in Aussie (on bouncy tracks and much bigger grounds) and you will see majority of the junk will be separated out. We will likely be left with a cream of say 6-8 quality players and then the...

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

    Are you kidding? You'll drop the guy that won the previous game for you? Bracewell won't be dropped/rested till he retires :laugh: I do feel he must have a picture of the coach or selector in a compromised position to have played 2 test matches:laugh: Felt the same about his one day cricket...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    I'm with this.... we're definitely not there. We are huffing and puffing into every game no matter whom it's against. Even worse we are relying on the fairly new comers in the side to win us games. I don't think the environment is all that conducive now. Doubt we can afford to terminate coach in...

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

    Lockie bowled well, with pace and swung the ball early. Henry was reasonable at the start, usual stuff bowling back of the length and moving the ball tad away. Last couple of spells from Henry weren't great. Lockie bowled all right in the death but Ireland tail could still find gaps at will...

    In a way quite happy it didn't end in an embarrassment but at the same time now the series' vs Ireland (are they ranked no.11?), dutch etc is starting to become well fought series' That is truly disturbing. No not that they shouldn't play well or show fight but it's us that keep on struggling...

    Fair enough but I was watching live and didn't think Bracewell could have got out for days. Barely missed a ball.. sure edged a couple but generally chanceless. It's still a very long way for the WCs, Ireland played exactly like a first class side in NZ. They responded the way a first class...

    That was tounge in cheek comment.... seriously Latham is pretty useless as a captain. They need to find a backup for Kane soon. I suppose someone like Young can do a better job. Do that and let Latham do what he does best, bat.

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

    Super happy we just about got over the line but this team slowly ending up quite average. How did we let Ireland get to 300 in the first place? Ireland let go about two to three catches, about 3-4 run outs, some club level fieldset and very average bowling. Bracewell as a captain isn't much of...

    Bracewell... hats off. Whatever happened there? Unbelievable stuff. So we found a dhoni for NZ. He can play as a pure batsman much higher. Apart from Bracewell and maybe one or two other players were pretty clueless.

    I'm pretty sure we'll win this. On that ground 300 would be a par score.

    How bad a decision was that from Aleem Dar. He must be bored and wants to head to lunch

    Tickener another one figuring out you can put all the effort you really want on these decks as soon as it hits the deck its no more than 110k and knee high bounce.

    Easy there... given the size of this ground we'll probably get there by the 40th over

    Hope it's Ish or Phillips unless Latham wants Bracewell's figures stuffed and face the ire of Larsen and Gary
