*Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

[jcas0167]

It's definitely worth a thread, but I'm at an airport right now and cbf.

Going to the game with some mates tonight in a hastily arranged stop on my way down to Wellington for work. Anyone else going? I'll be in the obscure late '90s tri-series kit (black, turquoise and white vertical stripes).

Santner out with COVID...

The comment sections suitably rational on this

Disgraceful that he's skipping it for that reason when Shane Warne played a whole series with a broken toenail.

I just found it hilarious that the NZC release specifically named it as COVID. Generally we don't get informed with the strain of virus that a sportsperson has gone down with, and certainly it invites the Chinese 5G crowd out of their bunkers to comment

I just wanted to make a toenail joke.

I just wanted to make a toenail joke.

And you did.

Never mind it might've been funnier losing a toenail

Honestly, if you gave me this set of players as a captain I'd probably make Southee open the batting.

Send it one of the bowlers as a pinch hitter after the 1st wicket falls.

Where am I supposed to moan about this series? Can't find a tour thread.

Make one.

Make one.

No, I raised the issue. Solving it is now everyone else's problem.

This is the series thread until PEWS can be arsed to split it off.

Mediocre start by nzu19s in warm up game.
(I think we have afghan u25s in our group, who beat Eng in their warm up)

Will we see players popping up in lame chicken ads on TV, like the various Olympians in the beef and lamb ones over the years?

Santner to miss the next game because of bird flu.

Another win for agribusiness.

 

[ataraxia]

Speaking of, uh, agribusiness, here's the first mention of what is now our favourite word:

"If John Wright was still coach, "Macewell" would be in your stupid CW parlance by now, believe me"

 

[straw man]

Heh, I remember that photo - up there with Daryl Mitchell's as great past cricinfo profile photos.

Pretty sure @Hurricane was randomly championing Macewell for the NZ team not long after that too.
