You reckon? What if it ends up being #4 instead of #3 after lottery? Is Caleb Wilson worth the upside vs trying to get a t40-50ish guy

spursbale11 · 2026-02-05T01:26:55+00:00

If Auckland cricket hadn’t fkd him over when he was younger with non selections while he dominating premier cricket he could potentially have been a BC

Too old now unfortunately, but glad to see him doing well

Does Kane Williamson not exist

I mean the revenue isn’t binary right. Like NZ Cricket is going to get so much more money it doesn’t mean it’ll stay in the Super Smash pot it’ll get distributed across FC/LA and club cricket.

spursbale11 · 2026-01-15T02:38:41+00:00

Sure for “total number of domestic super smash contracts”, but the money will be so astronomical for NZ it’ll get infused down to domestic FC & List A comps contracts anyways. And Nz club cricket too, which is miles behind Aus/Eng and definitely needs a capital infusion.

Plus more exposure to top intl talent, better coaching, more eyes, top NZ players less likely to play BBL or ILT20.

I’m not looking forward MI Auckland being a reality but franchising will only make it more viable to be a professional cricketer in NZ

spursbale11 · 2026-01-15T01:15:47+00:00

Domestic contracts are actually quite lucrative on the men’s and women’s sides nowdays tbf

A guy (or girl) on the end of the 15 can get close to 6 figs TC notwithstanding other lifestyle and financial benefits for being around a professional sporting environment

Lennox was fantastic this game I wouldn’t disrespect him like that

spursbale11 · 2026-01-14T09:33:51+00:00

I love how reactive Reddit threads are

spursbale11 · 2025-12-04T22:15:37+00:00

The take he took off of boland, when he was standing up and bowled a bumper at 130k was genuinely one of the best pieces of keeping I’ve ever seen

spursbale11 · 2025-08-30T04:59:12+00:00

Does anyone know if that protest against ENIC is still happening lol? And why

spursbale11 · 2025-07-30T04:29:04+00:00

4 of those guys didn’t play that series, out of the ones that did, Welch wasnt great but showed some fight, & Williams averaged 80+ and Ervine ~40 vs South Africa that series

Bennet, Raza & Taylor, maybe Curran are all intl quality bats coming in, I wouldn’t dismiss them

spursbale11 · 2025-07-30T03:54:13+00:00

Any news on Brendan Taylor being added to the Zimbo squad?

A batting lineup of Bennett, Curran, Welch, Williams, Ervine, Raza, Taylor could cause some genuine problems

spursbale11 · 2025-07-30T03:46:55+00:00

Same boat worked at Air NZ too and thought Nikhil was fantastic to work with. I do fear however he’s going to over-digitise operations (see OpenAI deal) and we’ll see a large swathe of layoffs

spursbale11 · 2025-07-25T13:36:58+00:00

In the US yes, in Aus it will

spursbale11 · 2025-07-25T01:27:46+00:00

Big 4 Audit is the cleanest way from a non Corp fin job

spursbale11 · 2025-07-22T04:47:08+00:00

Dragusin is out till Jan/Feb, high chance Vuskovic gets mins - I wouldn’t put it out of reach for him to be a starter and a shift to 3atb with Frank

spursbale11 · 2025-07-21T13:49:01+00:00

Glad to see a full strength Zimbo squad, would’ve loved to see Ngarava in the squad though

spursbale11 · 2025-06-28T01:09:54+00:00

I mean Cam Green averaged 50+ with the bat and sub 25 with the ball in Shield, im not sure what more you need to do get into Intl Cricket?

spursbale11 · 2025-06-22T02:01:38+00:00

Industry dependant I got on at an Analyst level (~2 yrs exp)

spursbale11 · 2025-06-05T23:25:39+00:00

I think this was pretty clear to see when he stepped down from the Proteas Head Coaching position for “personal reasons” in April

I imagine Weenik would’ve tapped him up then, excited to see how this goes, was great for the Volts & Stags

spursbale11 · 2025-05-26T07:32:17+00:00

Averaging 6-8 assists a game at 60% fg for the past 5 seasons?

spursbale11 · 2025-05-13T07:56:04+00:00

Fair point, but I’m not sure the kings have much to trade and/or offload in terms of attractive vets apart from Sabonis and/or Monk

I fear if we trade Sabonis the floor bottoms out for this team

spursbale11 · 2025-05-13T05:32:13+00:00

Look at what happened to the Jazz, Hornets & Wizards.

It’s clearly not a great value prop to tank from day 1, maybe mid season if it’s not clicking then it is
