    ICC solution to maintaining both T20Is & ODIs within the cricketing calendar

    I'd probably prefer either T20s or ODIs to be scrapped entirely outside of ICC events, but assuming the ICC persist on both forms being maintained on the international calendar, what about the idea of exclusive 12 month cycles/periods for each? Example: Once the CT is finished the ICC sanction...

    Consecutive Year of Birth Test Draft:

    Been a long time between drafts for me but it is that time of year. Hopefully this exact concept hasn't been done already. Ideally requiring 10-11 drafters. Concept/Rules: Drafters need to end up with a consecutive 11 year period e.g 1980-1990 (inclusive) & will need to select 11 players...

    NZ's road to their 4-Test Tour of Australia 2026-27

    So 7 years following the feeble & underwhelming showing in 2019/20 NZ get another chance to gain some form of Test credibility in Australia. Could come a year or two late for the core group in the current squad who will be in their mid-to-late 30s in 3 years time assuming they haven't already...

    When NZ defeat India & go on to lose to Aus ......?

    Once New Zealand defeat India & go on to lose to Australia in the final, should they be labelled as chokers?

    I see your Stokes & raise you a Conway - Poll for Kiwi fans

    Question for NZ fans.....apart from almost single-handedly costing NZ the 2019 WC final, would you rather have maintained Stokes in NZ (had his old man not moved across to the UK when Stokes was 13) without us gaining Devon Conway from SA? Thinking about it, & apart from the pain of the WC...

    ****Official****NZ condolences thread

    As much as I tell myself it's only sport and that nobody died, it's incredibly tough to stomach. Would have been so much easier had England scored 350, and rolled NZ by 150 runs, which is a crazy thing to say. Anyway a place for fellow Kiwis to sob, rant, whatever.

    Would Jonny like some cheese and crackers with that Whine?

    Apologies if this is mentioned in one of the match threads, https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/48794213 Jonny Bairstow says people are waiting for England to fail at the World Cup so they "can jump on your throat". Former captains Kevin Pietersen and Michael Vaughan have criticised the hosts...

    Greatest World Cup opening game

    Haven't had a good look through historic first-game scorecards, but off the top of my head, Aust vs. NZ 1992, when the underdogs came through with the upset. Patel famously opening the bowling.

    Appropriate Punishment for Smith from CA

    So what should the punishment be according to CW. To me, reading speculation of life bans for Smith (and Warner) seems ridiculously over the top, regardless of how premeditated it was. At the same time I think he should be stripped of the captaincy for life, if nothing else for the reason that...

    The 'real' Steven Smith question...

    I'm possibly getting ahead of myself, but humour me & assume the following hypothetical; Let's assume he's currently half-way through his career, & doubles his number of matches played to another 60 Tests in the next 6-7 years. Like most ATG bats, he does deteriorate slightly in the 2nd...

    Who is each Test nation's marquee Test opposition?

    To get the obvious out the way, I'm doubting many will argue with England and Australia being each others. Of the rest I'm guessing; India - one of Australia, England or Pakistan (Indians to clarify) Pakistan - India possibly England? Not sure New Zealand - Probably Australia, some may argue...

    Do Bangladesh still deserve their minnows tag?

    Figured my following post from the NZ/Bangers thread should be a thread of it's own... Following that series, I'm reflecting on that pre-series debate about whether Bangers should still deserve the minnows tag or not. There's no doubt they've improved from previous tours here & they were...
