    Spark Sport

    Not a great start for the "new way to watch sport". Did they bite off more than they could chew? I had my doubts about its stability, so decided to steer clear and just watch what they put on free-to-air TV. So the extra games being moved to Duke has been a nice little bonus for me. But my...

    *** Official *** 2018 Commonwealth Games

    Archaic maybe, but I still like 'em. Looking forward to the next 10 days or so, in a much better time zone than Glasgow. Great to see legendary para swimmer Sophie Pascoe named as NZ's flagbearer for the opening ceremony.

    How frequent should the World T20 be?

    Interesting article here: Tim Wigmore: Why the World T20 should be played every two years | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo I originally supported the decision to make it every four years, but now I kind of wish there was another one to look forward to in 2018.

    Nathan McCullum

    Felt like he deserved a thread for his retirement. Always in the shadow of his brother, but he was a really good servant for NZ in limited-overs games, and particularly T20: 63 T20 Internationals 58 wickets Average 22.03 Econ 6.82 Best 4-16 Top stuff.

    Best innings of the tournament?

    Thoughts? It may not have been the absolute best, but I'm going to kick off with an honourable mention for Angelo Mathews' 73* on one leg against England.

    Best ODI tournament finals

    To be honest, most of the World Cup finals I've seen have been disappointing mismatches - Pakistan's collapse in '99, Australia's romp in 2003, the dark fizzer in 2007 and NZ's heartbreaking capitulation this year. So which tournaments have actually had the exciting finishes they deserved...

    Best Test centuries in NZ since 2000

    Inspired by the Aus thread. Why not? There haven't been as many here, but still some good 'uns among them. Off the top of my head, and in no particular order: McCullum 302 v India, Wellington Astle 222 v England, Christchurch Umar Akmal 129 v NZ, Dunedin Sangakkara 203 v NZ, Wellington...

    Crap bowling spells thread

    Fair to have a bowlers' equivalent, isn't it? Chameera's remarkable 2-0-29-0 last night is a worthy inclusion.

    3rd place play-off

    As far as I'm aware these have never been a part of the Cricket World Cup, but they're always a fixture in the football and rugby equivalents. Should there be one?

    Each nation's best & worst World Cup teams

    Just thought this could be an interesting topic to discuss. My thoughts, just with the Test nations... AUSTRALIA Best: They're four-time winners, so we're a bit spoiled for choice. But I thought they had a particular aura of invincibility in 2003 and 2007. Worst: 1983 - they were knocked out in...

    First week thoughts

    Best innings: a few worthy contenders, but I thought Miller was outstanding in his 138* against Zimbabwe Best bowling: Southee v England Best game: Ireland-WI Your thoughts?

    Who's going home without a win?

    My thoughts... I'll start with Pool B and say UAE. The way Ireland and Zimbabwe have played so far makes winning a game look like a big mountain to climb for UAE, and I think they might be out of their depth here. In Pool A I'm going to go with my heart more than my head, and I'm going to...

    Looks like a really good crowd in Christchurch, but I can't say I enjoyed the bagpipes and Irish dancing.
