    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    If it's in August, then it very well could be. Pakistan are making a short white ball visit to the Caribbean in July/August according to the FTP, but after that WI have no cricket until October.

    "Lol, born in 2001?! This is a cricket game not a ****n' space odyssey. Gimme a bell in 10 years time (when I'll definitely still be coach) and I might give him a second look - if he's prepared to work on his spin bowling." - Gary Stead

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Took 21 @25 last season, very respectable stats, especially given he did the bulk of his bowling in the batter friendly month of March. Seasons best of 6/45. This season before the latest round he took 10 wickets in 2 games at 20, mostly bowling with the old ball. With his spell yesterday that's...

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Yeah I was thinking this yesterday. When Latham played a game for Canterbury earlier this season, Fisher came on with the old ball and induced a mini-collapse that set up an easy ND win in a game that looked likely to drift to a high scoring draw. If Stokes went back to domestics and watched...

    Yeah, rough around the edges but he's got the right attributes as Baz would say.

    Yeah, this is the big problem for NZ. Southee blowing it down at 125 doesn't help, but the entire top 6 has been short of runs for the last 18 months. Even in India we only passed 260 once, and looked in huge danger of being bowled out for 250 in the first test until Southee and Rachin produced...

    I genuinely wonder whether Southee wants to play next week. It can't be fun bowling overs for no reason other than the rest of the attack needs a rest.

    Yeah should've had Southee as 12th man (he's still probably the safest pair of hands in the team anyway), and given him a couple of jam ODI's later in the season. Though having said that, I'd really prefer the likes of Fisher and Sears get some game time with the white ball.

    Legit. Wagner was cooked and deserved to be dropped, but he was still bowling a lot better than Southee is now. And that was Wagner bowling with a torn meniscus. Just goes to show how in a bubble the team management is that Southee's place next week isn't even up for debate. I've spoken to...

    Kelly has been in absurd form this season. Singlehandedly kept Wellington competitive.

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Yeah. I still think Blundell will need a score of some description next week to keep his spot after Stead shuffles off, but it's hard to say he hasn't earned his place for next week.

    Latham basically confirmed Southee will play next week.

    It's a new ball deck. Ball was jagging around pretty nastily during the first 20 overs, but it settled down after that.

    Statistically this is the worst. Largest ever runs defeat at home.

    Stokes first ball: 84kph Not sure the speed cameras are coping that well with the northerly.

    Now if you're the NZ tail do you: a) try to hold up an end to help Smith get to a maiden test 50 b) what? Lol just smash it bro!

    Wow, Blundell looked like he was on the verge of tears there when he was giving Smith a hug.
