Anyone have any idea of idea of what sort of pitch/team selection to expect for tomorrow?
Away series?
Nope (although it's been too long since we've played Tests there). Home series, the marquee event of the '25-6 home summer.

Brett Randell with a short term contract for Somerset in the County Championship. Should take the field against Slurrey today/tomorrow.

LBW 6-fer (for Toole) is something of a rarity.

NZ Domestic Selector 24/25
Better get this one moving so we can battle it out once again for the coveted NZ Domestic Selector Shield. Housekeeping All NZ FC, NZ official tour games and NZ Test matches in the 24/25 season will be counted (I believe it's just NZ vs India and NZ vs Eng) We will be using the scoring system...

Ironically. The one season our 'normally spastic ' domestic scheduling would have been less spastic - is probably this season.
As mentioned on the doom and gloomy thread, there are 2 rounds of Plunket before the England test series. In any other year that would have been 4 rounds.
I spend almost every season complaining about the braindead way the domestic season is scheduled. So, I'm not going to launch into any broadside. This structure is 'better' for producing rounded cricketers. So, yay. But the same old problem of domestic and international calenders not aligning to produce the best prepared cricketers to the blackcaps - for each format - looks like it hasn't been given much thought.

Never understood why they chopped 2 games from the Plunkett Shield, you dont learn to build an innings in T20 and ODIs, the domestic calendar imo is wrong in every way,

Southee steps down as captain.
Had a feeling this was coming before the tour. Southee sounded pretty down on his performances after the Australia series and these last 2 tests will not have helped. While it obviously should've happened back in March, good on him for seeing the writing on the wall.

Should be easier to drop him now, Sears and O Rourke are the future, along with Henry and Jamieson when fit.
