    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    I remember somebody posting that they saw an interview with Simon Doull where he said he'd spoken to people at NZC who said they were prepared to "get the checkbook out" for the next NZ coach. Also the results in the last 12 month (apart from the India series - which we all know was entirely my...

    Given the way Blundell reacted when he scored his ton last week, I'd say he definitely felt like his spot in the side was on the line. He had a real moment there after he got to his ton where you could see him feeling just overwhelmed with relief. Whether that pressure was coming from within the...

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    One thing that I think has been very good for the overall standard of cricket in the PS has been the rescheduling from October/November to November/December. Batting averages in general are looking much healthier (unless you're a Wellington fan), innings totals have tended to lamd in the 250-350...

    One thing I will say about Hay, his 100's:50's ratio is starting to look very lopsided.

    New Zealand doom and gloom thread

    I think the dead runs thing is a little harsh, but not totally off the mark. I don't care about the drop. Players get dropped (sometimes 5 times in the same innings) - what matters is what you do after the chance goes down, and Blundell batted well. BUT. Blundell scored the bulk of his runs by...

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Just noting that Mariu's aggregate in domestic cricket is now very similar to KW's when he was given his cap. KW - 1323 with 4 hundreds and 6 50's Mariu - 1279 with 4 hundreds and 6 50's Not trying to say that Mariu is the next Williamson, but I think any arguments that it's too soon and he...

    According to Howsie's inside man, Sam Wells has been trying really hard to push Stead towards accepting new talents into the team/squad and Stead has just been very resistant to it.

    Oh boy, I'll be waking up to the news that Boult got an ice pick to the face overnight, won't I?

    Wagner's still playing domestic cricket and maybe county cricket. Seems to be taking on a mentor role for Northern District's stable of quicks. From the looks of things he's been doing a great job of teaching Matt Fisher the dark arts of Wagnerball. Reckon he could be an amazing coach/mentor for...

    Yeah, southee during this period was on par with Boult and Wagner (at least statistically). Had his ups and downs, but was lethal on his day. He debuted too young and hung around a year too long

    Tbf I think you could get slightly better numbers with less loaded options. Something like "Nah, Southee has been in poor form but he's an NZ great and I back him to have one last good performance."

    Gotta question ND's tactics with this go-slow approach. They're still going to be 30-odd behind when CD get the 2nd new ball.

    Aha, but SteveNZ said last year, not last season! And the Bay oval test was indeed played in early 2023! Egg meet TH's face.

    From what Boult's said in the media, he was told point-blank they were never going to pick him again in tests after he turned down his central contract. I know your pov is that he should've at least called Stead and offered to play if he was needed, but if Boult's recollection of events is...
