That is such a load of crap, someone needs to stand the fearsome tweak up to these bigger boards and forfeit some short terms monetary gains for the long term good of the game. The only tours most people care about here are Australia, England, and India, and we're now going to pretty much get fed the shit...

fearsome tweak that's annoying, had a reasonably sized post written out and the thing stops responding. Anyway the essence of it was: NZ is never going to get any better at playing spin if we only play two Tests in the subcontinent/WI a year, so we're never going to demand more than two Tests. If...

I do find it quite funny how one Melbourne and one Sydney team are so strong, and the other ones are both so weak.

The thing is there are already tiers, when was the last time NZ played an away Test series that wasn't only two Tests? Last time in England 2, Australia 2, India 2, SL 2, SA 2, I think WI was 3 because they're about the same level as us, can't remember Pakistan. This India tour was meant to be...

Fulton, Gambhir, and Sehwag all still play cricket properly though, so in terms of playing a match tomorrow I'd probably give them the edge, taking into account that Ponting was pretty rubbish for the last year or so of his career - and he'll probably be worse now that he's commentating...

He played for another team during the season, so if anything wouldn't it be unsporting having to drop one of my guys who won me the title to play him? I guess it depends on how he's going to be rated as well, because if he was playing a game tomorrow in real life he'd be shit. :p I don't want...

Also do I have to play Ponting, looking at my squad I have plenty of batsmen who are better than him now. :p

Do you still have my stats? It's been so long that I have no idea who performed during the season etc.

Imo I think it'll be best to keep this to just real life players.

I hope they don't rush Milne into the Test team, he's averaging 42 with an ER of 3.5 this FC season and 4 over T20 and 10 over OD spells aren't going to prepare him for having to bowl for up to five sessions straight. I'd hate to see him breakdown and miss the T20 WC.

Yeah, I'd rather we play our four best bowlers because McCullum being one of them is more than good enough to bat at eight. Tbh I'd probably drop Anderson and move Ronchi and Neesham up one because Neesham has a more runs, a higher average, and a higher SR in less T20s than Anderson. Plus I'd...

150 "mph" is effectively impossible. :p

Jager Bombers, what a team!

Carisbrook no longer exists, Dunedin now uses the University Oval for all cricket and Forsyth Barr Stadium for all football codes.

We kind of blew that, 4.67 runs an over for 15 overs with seven wickets in hand should be a walk in the park.

Growing up I used to mainly go to the upper West stand and spend most of the day playing on the number two, now I think I've only gone to the East and South stands. I watched most of the England Test and ODI last year from the East stand and I really liked it, there's a good atmosphere there...

Tbh I'd almost say that the quality of the leagues is at an all-time high. Just having a look through them all now and the effort that some people are putting in far exceeds what I would've done with my NZPL. Very few leagues are double-ups as well, unlike in the past where we've had like five...

Finally the security guards weren't dickheads and threw the beach balls back into the crowd instead of popping them like they did last summer.

Yeah, I ended up having a look using that. The one problem with it is that I don't think you can properly specify 50 overs matches (e.g excluding the NZ - WI 21 over game on New Years Day which was technically an ODI), because if you do it excludes when teams are bowled in less than 50 overs.

My older brother's been doing our street for like 10 years, haha.
