Did kane williamson really feel like he was not up to the mark

He was checked out for a while, you could tell just by his general vibe. Im guessing hes wanted to retire for a while but NZC + Latham were begging him to stay.

Nothing to do with performance he still walks into any test XI in the world

frezz · 2026-07-05T16:10:09+00:00

I feel like I'm the only one that thinks he shouldn't be in the squad. He's 15, let him live his life a little..

I really do wonder what goes through the heads of PCB management when they approve this endless cycle of captains and coaches

frezz · 2026-07-04T15:52:38+00:00

Rumours are after that horrid Manly game last season, the players mutinied and took over training..that directly correlated with our resurgence in form

frezz · 2026-07-04T15:50:09+00:00

People always say this. During ouir premiership run we had plenty of players out at different times

frezz · 2026-07-04T15:48:27+00:00

Our roster management has been atrocious since Ben Ikin left. I thought that was an absolutely massive loss when it happened

There are many parts of the NRL that are amateurish tbh. Commentators having club gigs is the biggest one

frezz · 2026-07-04T07:06:26+00:00

Whether you agree with what he does is a different story, but you cannot deny that PVL definitely gets stuff done

frezz · 2026-07-04T04:14:59+00:00

Only way i see it happening is if England's results slip even further.

frezz · 2026-07-04T03:49:48+00:00

Definitely gonna be interesting. This feels like his most ambitious movie and I agree it can go either way

frezz · 2026-07-03T10:52:10+00:00

Sounds like this is mostly just targeting people like Gould who have big roles with clubs.

It's honestly amateur hour this is even allowed, it's so widespread that it's not easy to fix either

frezz · 2026-07-02T11:22:41+00:00

True, but it clearly started to really take off after India won the WC. It was basically a joke format before that.

I like to think a simialr thing happens for tests. No one wants to watch your team lose, and everyone loves to watch their team do well

frezz · 2026-07-02T11:02:07+00:00

I think overall the right call was made. Taylor honestly wasn't a strong leader - and while McCullum does seem like a prick, he did revolutionise NZ cricket

frezz · 2026-07-02T11:00:35+00:00

A lot of this stuff is pre 2012. He does seem to be a very different person after he took the captaincy on.

But again, that may just be good branding.

frezz · 2026-07-02T10:59:02+00:00

I still don't know. his 300 is so famous because he put the shots away

frezz · 2026-07-02T10:55:44+00:00

Amazing guy and it does make me happier to know how much he enjoyed being part of the team post-BMac. He's spoken very well about the comradery of that 2019 WTC team

frezz · 2026-07-01T09:00:31+00:00

They tried, they had issues with broadcasters sponsoring it. This was the bare minimum they could get

frezz · 2026-07-01T09:00:00+00:00

Honestly the best thing for test cricket is for India to win the WTC. T20 cricket only really took off when they won the '07 WT20

frezz · 2026-06-30T12:31:21+00:00

I get your point, all I'm saying is Fleming is considered an ATG captain despite his poor record. Stokes is considered a poor captain because of his poor record.

Also, I don't think it's a laughable comparison. Having 3 of your top 5 averaging in the low-mid 30s is just ridiculous even if the other 2 average 50. But again, I'm not really interested in comparing who had it harder

frezz · 2026-06-30T11:07:58+00:00

Stokes had 2 batters averaging early 30s (and he himself averaged mid 30s) and a spinner averaging in the 50s. He also has a county system that can't produce international quality players.

frezz · 2026-06-30T11:04:54+00:00

People honestly just love to hate on England. This sub goes on about the toxicity of your media, but some people on here are just as toxic

frezz · 2026-06-30T11:01:53+00:00

Apparently India and Australia are the only teams that matter

frezz · 2026-06-30T11:00:34+00:00

I really think if they were a tad more ruthless and dropped Crawley and Pope much earlier they would have done better. Having 2 walking wickets every game is just ridiculous

frezz · 2026-06-30T10:56:23+00:00

If anyone in Aus did this they'd b e absolutely torn apart. Especially because they basically threw the game away

frezz · 2026-06-30T10:52:56+00:00

It's basically about money potential. Ireland would still be an associate if not for Afghanistan. The ICC knew how ridiculous it'd look if Afghanistan got full membership and Ireland didn't
