Now that I think about it, does this mean if you bowl a full toss and the batsman misses it should be a no-ball?

Yeah it's on Duke as well. Santner not bowling great, but Mitchell and McConchie did a great job with the chase ... thought they were no chance on a difficult pitch to bat on.

VPN should fix that I'm guessing... I have signed up for Spark but for some reason it refused to work today.

Nowhere close. If you're talking about test cricket there is Young and Devon waiting in the wings. Then followed by Glenn Phillips, Tim Seifert etc Once they have all been tried and by chance they don't succeed they may think about it. If they don't succeed then the wait time is like 2 more years. If they do then 4-5 years.
No chance in one day cricket, he's played like half a dozen domestic list A games in the last three years I think. Besides Santner is set for the next 7 years easily so the wait time is likely 5 years if he has to be picked as an all rounder.
As for T20s he's a very handy player both with bat and ball but again there's a bee line of batters and Santner has another at least 7-8 years in him. Todd Astle was picked recently so I'm guessing he's in the make up for t20 wc.
Unfortunately for Ravindra I think he's going to be like William Young. Will have a bit of a late debut but should still have like 6-8 years career. Just bad time to be a left arm spinner and a top order batter at the moment.
There are lot of good talented players that deserve to play for black caps but there's enough number of players already in the fringe. Black caps selection is also quite conservative at the moment. They rely on experienced players rather than potential like the selections of Henry, Astle, Santner for tests show.
He may get a game here and there still like Tickener, Duffy etc but don't think he'll be selected consistently.
The only other chance is if we start losing real bad both overseas and at home but I think we're peaking at the moment and will be real good for the next 4-5 years I think.

Close but depends on Covid19. NZ are planned to tour Pakistan (in UAE and perhaps some games in Pakistan) in Sep-Oct, ODI + T20I, wouldn't be a surprise if Ravindra made the team as an all-rounder (3rd spinner alongside Santner + Sodhi).
Ravindra (and Finn Allen and Ben Sears) are players with very high potential, after a couple of seasons playing for NZ A I suspect the selectors will squeeze them into a Black Caps squad.

Just realized there's a super smash game in an hour. Canterbury taking on firebirds. That's a quick turnaround. Must be tough for both teams. Firebirds traveling from Dunedin and playing the game the next day. Canterbury playing back to back games second time in the last one week. That's a bit harsh I'd think. Hope this doesn't lead to injuries.

I don't know why they've just used the same pitch throughout all these games ... hasn't let the batsmen or bowlers show their true skill, and hasn't led to very entertaining cricket imo ... unless you like watching batsmen struggling to hit slower ball after slower ball ...
