    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    I've seen the argument from English fans about "wouldn't you rather see 78 overs of exciting cricket than 90 overs of dull cricket?" which I think is extremely flawed. Given how England are playing I'd rather see 90 overs of exciting cricket haha

    Gower calling Tom Latham Rod twice. Haha.

    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    See I don't buy into the whole "must have played cricket to be a good commentator" thing. Think Sumo does a much better job at presenting rather than commentating - would prefer he did that only for sure.

    Still don't get the hate for Sumo, he's not THAT bad. Macca made an absolute meal this morning, calling the Crowe-Thorpe trophy the Crowe-Hadlee trophy at the toss. :blink:

    Saw BJ Jacobs a lot last season for Sydenham in Chch, couldn't believe the power - if anyone is familiar with Sydenham Park he was hitting 6's that were going over Brougham Street. Might be most powerful hitter I've seen since CdG.

    *Official* New Zealand vs Sri Lanka- White Ball Tour of SL- November, 2024

    I think it's more a byproduct of Blundell being more average at 6, and too often GP has ended up batting with the tail - and most think he's a far better batsman than having to do that regularly rather getting opportunities to build an innings. Eventually I think he should be our number 5...

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    You'd have been put in a padded room if you'd said Santner would get 13 in a test match.

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    I assume U19 World Cups?

    New Zealand doom and gloom thread

    Bracewell was absolutely horrible that tour, what are you talking about? Admittedly the pitches in the first two tests were roads.

    Wouldn't mind seeing GP in charge of the white ball sides to start with perhaps - especially T20.

    Are the England tests the last tests before Stead's contract expires? I'm not opposed to GP being captain but I think he's such an x-factor player we should just let him do his thing for a couple more years.

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

    Does NZ have a warm up game before the India series? Two weeks before the first test starts on the 16th.

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

    I'm actually enjoying Mitch's commentary eh. Maybe correlation with the fact I enjoyed him as a bowler too haha.

    Afghanistan v New Zealand - Only Test

    Conspiracy speculation: Just classic BCCI sabotaging any potential upset from NZ in the India series

    I'd be very surprised if Latham was made ODI captain, Santner seemingly the go-to in T20 when KW/Southee not available and surely those 2 aren't around next ODI WC (maybe KW), would much prefer Santner.

    Match #26- West Indies vs New Zealand (N)- Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Tarouba, T&T- June 12th-- Group C

    Deserved to be knocked out of the tournament, definitely should be considering the split coaching model as well.

    Group C - West Indies, Afghanistan, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Uganda

    I think the lack of warm up games is an over-used excuse, while I agree that it's useful to have good prep - we had no warm up games in 2022 in Australia (they were both rained off) and we still thrashed Australia in Sydney in the opening pool game. Admittedly we at least had been playing...

    Group C - West Indies, Afghanistan, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Uganda

    So basically NZ have to thrash WI, PNG and Uganda and hope that Afghanistan beat WI to have a chance...
