Yes. My second ever live (international) match.

I had an e-mail from NZC today asking me for my feedback on the Test match I'd seen at the Basin this summer. Obviously gave it high marks, but they left an "other comments" field at the end with which I provided feedback on their selection of Scott Kuggeleijn. It looks like a unique link that they provide (though maybe you can resubmit) but for those who received a similar e-mail from NZC, I heartily encourage providing them with constructive feedback!

Speaking of under 19's Benji Culhane who scored a superb ton at the under 19 tournament a couple of years ago as a 17 yr old is debuting for the Black Sticks.

When they play Australia and Great Britain in their upcoming international series it'll mark a major milestone for the Culhane family.

It's alright, none of those Wellington players will play FC cricket until they're 32. I hear Luke Woodcock and Stewart Rhodes are planning their comebacks.

Stead to call up Tom Jones because he's at that mature age.

Not many, if any, of those selected statistically stood out that played in the U19s tournament this year, but some dominant players statistically from the U17s.
Selection will be based on a mix of players from the U19s and U17s, depending on their ages at time of next U19 world cup, I assume.
Rowe and Clarke were the 2 bowlers who stood out to me in the matches that were streamed (in the U17 tournament).
One of the Wellington opening bats also stood out to me as a guy who could attack from ball 1. Think it was Will Julian actually.
Interesting that all are in reserves, only.
This probably shows my interest is limited to seeing the opening bowlers (and therefore the opening batsmen by default ... and switch off as soon as the middle overs yawn begins. And tbf, at that age grade level you'd expect the quality to start dropping significantly once you get into the change bowlers etc)

Is this World Cup actually happening? Under five months to go and we don't even have a schedule. I'm surprised there isn't more concern about this in the media that I can see, usually World Cup draws are announced years in advance - this seems extremely amateur.
Actually was thinking of going to a few games but I'd say that's impossible now.

I guess it’s another sign of the IPL’s pre-eminence (and the decline of 50-over cricket), they don’t want World Cup announcements overshadowing the main event of the year.
I don’t usually indulge in BCCI bashing for the sake of it, but unfortunately one area where they continue to let the cricketing public down is the stadium experience and practically everything to do with it, which includes zero concern for travelling fans. The recent India Australia test which got moved from Dharamsala to Indore was a case in point, a bunch of fans who planned their itinerary around Dharamsala lost a lot of money as a result and there was not so much as a public apology from the board.
EDIT: I see the ODI Super league itself is not done, and the qualifiers for the last 2 spots will be held in Zimbabwe in June-July! Still stand by the above paragraph, but yeah incredibly amateurish from the ICC.

I was vaguely thinking of going to India to watch some of the World Cup, but in a very rich white tourist who doesn’t care about ‘authenticity’ and just wants to have a cruisey time kinda way. These last few posts are not encouraging.

bcci should be blamed for this incompetence, they still don’t have any fixtures released

That kind of owns actually, nobody knows who they're playing, you just rock up to the ground on the day and find out.
