    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    Should New Zealand try a horses for courses approach? I think we make Latham Keep, that way we can drop the keeper and play 3 seamers and 3 spinners, maybe bring in Santner for the WK? edit, without Williamson its a risk playing 1 less batter, but we need to be creative to try win.

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    No Williams is crucial for NZ especially if we bat first! such a shame. Bumrah vs Williamson would be great. I really hope he is fit for the 3rd Test.

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    Also why does Glen Phillips seem a better bowler than Patel? even Ravindra got more spin than Patel

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    Think India will do fine in Aussie, after the 3rd new ball its started hooping around and Henry is deadly with his wicket to wicket bowling with some nip, and O'rourke was really troubling the Aussies earlier this year with his pace and movement, which is suprising as he only bowls about 140kph...

    New Zealand doom and gloom thread

    He literally wanted to focus on Tests, he was selected for the ODI team and told the coach Bracewell that he wants to focus on Test Cricket. (bracewell focused more on one day cricket) So he was never selected because of a gripe from bracewell. Its a shame, I thought he would of been a good Test...

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

    Ravindra has to farm the strike 2mrw, cant expose number 10 to the first 4 balls, Nz still a chance, but he is gunna have to play excelent and probably hit some 6s.

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

    Henry should definatly played for Santner, also GP should bat at 6, I wasnt a fan of GP at first thinking he's a 20/20 hack but his 87 he scored against Aussie was class, I know he's at 7 to hit big with the tail but feel he is slightly wasted, I'd have him at 6. He has that X factor about him...

    its pretty flat? probably gunna be flatter on day 4 after being covered for the rest day

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

    Dont think there are many Demons in this pitch. 2mrw on the rest day the pitch will be kept covered, which will probably flatten the wicket even more (if I was Sri Lanka i'd be wanting the pitch exposed to the sun to deteriorate it) Think NZ can chase 300, Williamson is due with a big 100 and a...

    Rank these bowlers on flat pitches

    Cant believe NZ cricket forced Wagner to retire. Even the touring Aussies where suprised as they had prepared training camp for dealing with his bouncers

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

    If Southee gets dropped id like Phillips to be our captain, he seems in the Mcullem mold. He is in the team for his batting and to bat with the tail and be aggressive, but his bowling is really coming on good. He also got a 5fer vs Aussie earlier this year turning it big.

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

    No he averages 24, he's more a spinner who can bat a bit. Can never bat higher than 8, struggles with short and full balls in Tests

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

    Suprised how effective O'rourke was his first time bowling on Asian pitches, he looks so dangerous, its rare for a young fast bowler like him to have mainly played first class cricket (and it shows) hopefully he will turn out like how NZ hoped KJ would of turned out (tho KJ is still young)...

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

    I'd have O'rourke instead of Henry, we might need his extra pace and bounce. Obviously if Southee wasn't the skipper i'd have Henry and O'rourke, Actually I forgot about Ajaz,e would be the 4th spinner, think my team is Conway Latham Williamson Rachin Mitchell Blundell Philips Southee Henry...

    Afghanistan v New Zealand - Only Test

    They will probably want batting and bowling practice. Plus declaring on our first match of a tour on turning pitches............ risky

    Afghanistan v New Zealand - Only Test

    Hopefullly Nz gets to bat 2mrw, and Williamson get another 100 to make his haters salty. This match is important as its getting us ready for Sri Lanka and India. where do we tour first?

    Shane Bond vs Trent Boult

    Lol in watching cricket for almost 30 years,despite his injuries, Bond was one of the most awesome bowler to watch, his aggressive run up, his beautiful action, he could touch 150kph+ and bowl nasty in swingers, plus he would bowl full. I remember a Indian commentator saying the reason Bond is...
