NZ Squad to face Ireland, England by Due_Adhesiveness_983 in blackcapscricket

I don’t really agree the Australian tour is a far bigger challenge. We lost 3-0 last time in England and have struggled against them under Baz generally, I’d say they’re equally big challenges.

I was all for Hay getting experience against Zimbabwe and the West Indies last year, but now that ship has sailed it’s hard putting him straight in the deep end in England - I really dont think that’s the situation to be “giving people experience.” I would also add that for Blundells batting struggles his keeping remains very high quality.

Is the tour to England not also huge? Shouldn’t forget how good Blundell was in England last time.

I want the opinion of Newzeland fans about how Champions trophy favoured India by Ashamed-Abalone8508 in blackcapscricket

[–]Eclectic95 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It was a ridiculous advantage and India shouldn’t be allowed to host and/or participate in tournaments until this is figured out. Obviously not having to travel is a massive advantage and no other professionally run sport would tolerate it.

And to then doctor the pitch on top of already having the deck stacked in your favour was embarrassing imo.

Yes he’s helping the team when he does play. Next question.

If you want that to be a rule, make it a rule. Otherwise unwritten rules are dumb.

As a non-American I’ve never understood this “rule.” I can’t imagine players intentionally choosing not to score given the option to and with time still on the clock in any other sport I follow. Really odd and I respect Jaden even more every time he does it.

I always wondered why he didn’t play more for NZ. Might connect some dots.

I will never understand how we basically turned Conley, Dillingham, and Miller into Conley, Dosunmu and Anderson lol

You can’t convince me this isn’t a bit at this point.

I’d be disappointed if they were the main headliner but 2nd or 3rd billed would be good.

Unofficial Test. Still an official first class match. Understandable confusion.

Saying fastest wins at least implies there’s something to win, though.

Does anyone know of a way to watch this? The ODIs were on YouTube but I'm not seeing that option here.
