We should have brought DMac on way earlier.

Honestly,I'll be missing Ian Smith. I know some don't like his commentary style but his level of passion when commenting the Black Caps is next level!

You guys need a marriage counselor or something!

18 years since a NZ spinner has taken a 5for in NZ.

Micheal Bracewell just played one of the most amazing innings I have ever seen.
Firebirds were chasing 227 and were 43 for 5 at one stage and somehow he pulled off a miraculous innings of 141 off 65 balls. Apparently the highest T20 score ever in NZ.
-
Boult is surely the premier 11 in the country!

@No-Quarter said in Black Caps v India - Semi Final:
Have to say, despite the comms waxing lyrical about him, Dhoni fucked that chase.
Yeah, they keep putting up that stat about how many games India wins when chasing and Dhoni is not out. But all the ones they lose would have been like tonight were he leaves it too late and then ends up getting out.
-
He should be done in tests as it is. Unless he can bat in the top six he is not a good enough bowler to be in the test team.
-
Even on attack, Argentina making stupid decision. Pass the ball out and then you won't get held up.

So the biggest city in NZ with by far and away the largest Indian population doesn't get a ODI. Do these guys not like making money?
NZC had a falling out with Eden Park I believe. Lots of issues, including people that live in the area being absolute fucking killjoys and making it difficult to have events that go past a certain time. But also that it's not a cricket ground. I'm sure other posters can elaborate further but the situation is an absolute farce.
Actually it comes done to the fact the Eden Park games need to finish by 10PM but Star Sports want the games to start at 3PM. I guess NZC must make more from the broadcasting rights than they do from ticket sales:

Kane is the man!!!

and Vettori still knows how to bowl, he should bowl every over he can from here.
-
Far too early to tell but Adithya Ashok is probably our best chance of finding an international quality spinner in the coming years:
He has already played a T20 for NZ and is only 21. I think he will be at least as good as Sodhi and Patel but not sure yet if he will be able to reach Vettori's level.
-
Best game of the World Cup so far, shame were on the wrong side, Hopefully that means they're copying the All Blacks and keeping the powder dry for the finals.
-
Volavola should have just waited for him to land, would have been an easy tackle.
-
@Mokey I think both are a liability. Neesh has to be the number one all rounder now (as long as he is fit).
Now we need to find a new opener or move Latham back to opening and find another keeper who can average 30 batting at 7.
-
While I am a big Tanaka fan, they need to leave Negare on as long as possible next weekend.

Here is an option that would potentially keep everyone happy, borrowing from crickets idea of the super sixes (someone earlier also mentioned a plate competition).
NZ 5 teams - each play each other twice.
Aussie 5 teams - each play each other twice.Top 3 enter the super six and play the teams from other conference home and away. Total of 14 round robin games, best teams play the best.
Bottom 2 enter plate competition and play each other home and away. Conferences could potentially expand to 6 teams each to allow for pacific/japanese teams but that would increase total games to 16 in the round robin.
-
Interesting stat they just showed. Australia's bowling attack has 1013 test wickets, India's 13 test wickets.

It makes zero sense that Sommerville is not there though, even Rippon was probably worth taking over one the 6/7 seamers.
Somerville was who I was thinking of
Ah, I thought you mean Santner.
Hell no
He is actually our best white ball spinner so if he could have him there that would have been much better.
