    *Official* World Test Championship Final 2021

    Jamieson or Williamson for MOTM?

    That is one of the great grabs under pressure!

    2020/21 New Zealand Domestic Season

    I know what you mean. I've had a decent amount of exposure to both guys and I'll say this: skill-wise, him and Ish at the same age are comparable - Adi is much more accurate though. The big difference for me is the mental side of Adi's game. He's incredibly resilient and self-assured.

    2020/21 New Zealand Domestic Season

    Adi Ashok called up to Auckland squad for the next 4-day game. Somerville and Delport also in the squad so he might end up running drinks. I can't believe someone like Delport (33 years old) is keeping Ashok out of the side. I feel like NZC should have the ability to step-in and sort that ****...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Dane Watson is one of the guys I really liked the look of when he was being talked up a few years ago, I have followed him closely over the last few years. He is always there or thereabouts in the Auckland/Auckland A setup, but has been a bit of a victim of Auckland's preference to recruit...

    Ashok plays for Suburbs New Lynn (one of the Blackcap factories of Auckland Cricket). Here is the link to the scorecard: https://www.crichq.com/matches/873625/1st_innings

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    I'll just touch on what I saw - to give you guys an insight as to how he operated. He bowls a really good pace for a kid. 80-85km/h, and he does spin it, and has a good wrongun (which I think a lot of you guys were already aware off), but what got me really excited was the flight he operated...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Watched 18-year old Aditya Ashok make his premier club debut in Auckland cricket today. 14 wickets in the day. As an 18 year old in your first game. Simply unplayable. The incumbent Auckland A spinner Dane Watson bowled from the other end too and the difference in ability was unreal. Start...

    2020/21 New Zealand Domestic Season

    You're probably right. Conway and Young will definitely be ahead - and they do look to be a class above. Speaking of a class above, Jamieson's picked up his third 5fa in as many games this season. He's a beast.

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    I'm not too concerned about the spin issue tbh. We shouldn't really play spinners at home, if you look at the last 4/5 seasons of home tests, how many hauls have spinners taken (both home and visiting)? I'd suggest sticking with the Ajaz/Sommerville and maybe Ravindra options away from home...

    2020/21 New Zealand Domestic Season

    I'm always surprised at the lack of chat/hype about Chapman on this thread. He hasn't done too well at the next level, but of all the next crop of batters, he's the one that's had the most chances for the BC's. I rate him, and I remember reading a really interesting article on him a few months...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Gonna chip in on the topic of Finn Allen. I've seen a lot of him in Auckland Club Cricket. The kid is unbelievably good. Played some of the most memorable knocks I've seen last season. Tough start to his career, but he'll come good. I've just seen that he's been dropped from the side for the...

    Ah I had both Massie and Hirwani in mind. I am just a sucker for the drama of it all I guess!

    *Official* Pakistan v New Zealand in the UAE 2018

    I might be getting ahead of myself here, but I'll ask the question anyway. Where does Ajaz Patel's debut rank in the ATG test debuts? Certainly in terms of drama, it has got to be up there for me. Five wickets in the 4th innings to bowl your country to victory from the jaws of defeat. Have...

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2015/16

    Mark Chapman is in for an injured Tarun Nethula in tomorrows Plunket Shield game. I have not seen much of him, how did he get a run as a spinner over Vishi Jeet (who had a good 4 day debut last season) and Dane Watson (the u19 spinner a few years ago)?

    New Zealand Off Season 2014

    Haha no I feel like you are probably right. I am not sure what they will do with O'Donnell. It would be strange if he were stripped of a contract assuming it was based on potential. However I feel like they are having a bit of a re-vamp.

    New Zealand Off Season 2014

    Rumour has it Auckland are setting up a development contract scheme. Guys like Brett Randall and Rob O'Donnell (who has not really justified selection other than his 2012 U19 world cup) would fall under that category. Dean Bartlett would fill up a position in their contract list, however I am...
