    Help Iain O’Brien get home

    Iain O’Brien was down visiting his parents in New Zealand when the Covid-19 outbreak started hitting hard. He’s already spent thousands of dollars on flight tickets that have been cancelled and now doesn’t have the resources to get back to his family in the UK. I know many of us will be in a...

    Does the RWC have too many teams?

    This may well be an unpopular opinion to have, but especially after watching the fantastically competitive and exciting CWC earlier this year, I can't help but think the group phase of this World Cup suffers badly in comparison. Yeah, we had Uruguay's fantastic win over Fiji, but even that was...

    Final - England v New Zealand

    I think it's only fair that we let Triple H have the final word. Yes, this is real.

    Rank the World Cups from best to worst

    Plenty of great memories over the years, but reading cricinfo's series on great WC matches, it made me think about where the world cup's rank with respect to one another. For me it's (from best to worst): 1992 - the Tournament that made me a cricket fan. Good format, plenty of exciting close...

    Who is the more talented bowler: Southee or Boult

    Thought it better to respond to this in a new thread. I think Southee has the highest ceiling out of the two. At their best, both bowlers bowl at very similar speeds (low 140's), both get hoola-hoop swing and both utilise well disguised variations. But I think Southee at his peak showed greater...

    Jacob Oram v Shane Watson

    For the record - this is just debating their test careers. While they played similar roles in the longest form, their roles as ODI cricketers were very different (Watson opening bat and handy 5th bowler, Oram as 1st change seamer and lower-order slogger). Oram scored more test hundreds than...

    Should teams be allowed to replace players injured in-game?

    Thinking back to the daynight test at Adelaide, I'm still struck by how utterly unfair it was that Australia had to play through the majority of that match with only 2 specialist quicks after Mitchell Starc broke down on day 1. Things were nearly as bad for them in the 2nd test when they were...

    Brendon McCullum to retire after upcoming Australia series

    To the surprise of absolutely no-one, Brendon McCullum is about to announce that the upcoming test series against Australia will be his last. He also won't be going to the world T20 later in the year. Brendon McCullum to quit Black Caps, last match will be in February - Sport - NZ Herald News...

    The RWC has the dumbest system for awarding match points

    I'm not really a rugby follower, so can anyone tell me how the bonus point system for the world cup makes any sense? Ok, I can kinda at least understand the bonus point for scoring tries. Rugby can be a pretty turgid sport to watch, especially in world cups when teams tend to be ultra...

    2014 New Zealand Election thread

    Couldn't find the old NZ politics thread, and given that no one has posted in it since 2011, I thought we might as well start a new one. The election date has been announced as September 20th. PM reveals 2014 election date - National - NZ Herald News National obviously looking to capitalise...

    2015 World cup ticket prices (NZ) announced

    Cricket World Cup ticket prices revealed | Stuff.co.nz Some information has been released on the ticket prices for the world cup. The prices for the pool matches sound fairly reasonable, but I have a very hard time believing that anyone is going to pay $150 - $200 for a QF ticket. Of course...

    Whole of the World XI

    This has probably been done to death already, but nonetheless: If you had to compile a team of current players, with one representative from each of the 10 test playing nations, and 1 associate player to round it out, what would it be? To start the ball rolling: Tamim (BAN) Cook (ENG) Pujara...

    **Official** New Zealand Domestic Season 2013/2014

    Heh, was just about to comment on this. Looks like Dougeh might have some competition next season for the title of biggest drunken **** up in the CD ranks. Though they've both still got a long way to go before they catch the king.

    McCullum to take legal action over Parker report

    India's 2014 tour of NZ gutted

    Cricket: Indian TV riches could be lost to NZ in... | Stuff.co.nz So not sure if people have already commented on this elsewhere, but I figured it probably deserves it's own thread. From 3 tests and 6 lo matches to 2 games in each format. Over the last few years I've become kinda numb towards...
