    O'Rouke just needs some luck with the injury gods. Surely a Black Cap pace bowler is due some?

    The thought of him, the ever improving Henry and a fit Jamieson fills me with all sorts of hope.

    That trio might be an upgrade on Southee/Boult/Wags

    What, you backing a Canterbury pace bowling trio. 😁

    And Cam Paul, looks very handy.

    Need to send Jamieson and O’Rourke back to Auckland...

    I don’t follow NZ cricket enough to know where any of them actually come from

    You’re right though.
    It’s cricket, not rugby. Who gives a fuck where they come from for the BC’s.

    Technically out but that is a rough one. That barely clipped the varnish.

    Was it missing?

    Who would know? The technology is not accurate enough to make a call like that.

    Who gives a flying fuck where they come from for Rugby then.

    Jamieson went back for a year then came back last season obviously realised his mistake.

    If the NZC base was in Dunedin I assume Mitchell and Sodhi would be playing for Otago now. 🙂

    No as both their wives are from Christchurch so they both moved there to be near the wives families.
    That was the reason not a national cricket base.

    @Chris That was my point as I'm sure they met their now wifes while being at Lincoln.

    Not sure that is pure speculation.
    And may not have a bearing at all.
    Once Moose had kids they moved from Hamilton to Christchurch so they had family support for their kids.

    North Island winter training base is also at Bay Oval. Handy for seeing Black Caps and White Ferns around Blake Park, and nearby. My impression is that the White Ferns are there slightly more often, just with fewer T20 circuit opportunities over winter, but I could be wrong.

    well played NZ, a good series of some mixed quality cricket, some sharp bowling, some big innings by some genuinely excellent, generational, players along with some terrible fielding, some shocking shots and some questionable commitment from England. England as inspiring and frustrating as ever, New Zealand with some very good players and some gaps to fill, so too England really.

    Pleased to see Southee go out with a win, always liked watching him play and seems like a good fella off the field. Lovely to see him hit a few sixes too.

    Watching England play Test Cricket in New Zealand is always a treat, beautiful grounds, full banks, great atmosphere, green grass, blue skies and a bit of movement off the pitch. If only you could work out how to play it at a time where it doesn't entirely destroy my sleep patterns.

    Equals our biggest win which was against Sri Lanka in 2018

    Not sure we had the choice ...

    Can you just stop it ?

    Rival sports fans aren’t supposed to be so nice 😉
