@Chris-B said in NZ cricket 2020:
Craig McMillan had a stint on the Sky commentary team before becoming batting coach and I thought he was good. I think he did a few tests after finishing as batting coach as well. What has he got on his head.
BMac was also with Sky as a newbie - I found him a bit vanilla.
Sonia Gray is the Lotto lady - but, apparently a cricket tragic.
TBH I'm not planning to get Spark Sport this year. Cricket will be on the radio for me again - "Great days of summer....".
I'm assuming Sonia Gray will be presenter rather commentator.
But I'm prepared to be surprised*
*dissapointed.

I like(d) the sky cricket commentary team, only Riggor had started to grate. But only a bit, which is a good effort considering you listen to them for 6 hours a day.
I think they'd become excellent, so I will miss them.
From my POV, shame that Riggor is the only one to move.
Cumming kept abreast of the provincial scene, so wasn't totally blindsided by someone new (like Riggor was). Doull and Styris had great knowledge of other (visiting) world players from their T20 circus gigging. They were a good balanced team. Remember the holy cow days of Martin Crowe ....
But prepared to give them a go.
> Jeets should be interesting. Not often have a spinners POV in the box. Plus his domestic,& county knowledge
.....and with his lack of spin as a player we’re still not getting one

@hydro11 agree, looks good.
I'll miss Waddle though. THat dude's a legend
Waddle is hilariously grumpy when you actually meet him. When I worked in media he threw a classic tanty when the Microwave didn’t work.
But by golly him and Coney made long car rides enjoyable with their chat.

Kiwi at the helm of the ICC that is most definitely not, and never will be a corrupt organisation.
seriously, though, good for him.
Greg Barclay elected ICC chairman after second round of voting
He beat Imran Khwaja after securing CSA's vote to push him to 11 votes and the required two thirds majority

@nzzp I can't recall that I've ever heard of him, but this...."and is a former board member and chairman of the Northern Districts Cricket Association" certainly doesn't surprise me.
Not content with merely taking over every aspect of NZ cricket, these feckers are taking over the world.

nefarious. insidious. brilliant.

@mariner4life The Mako are doing the same in NZ rugby, but it's a bit bigger and more complex to line up the ducks - so we're slipping behind ND.
But, we've nearly got the Auckland domino ready to topple (with Agents Leon and Kieran largely running the show up there) and once that one falls our way the momentum will be irresistible.

sounds like a bit of BCCI 'leaning' on SA and WIndies.
After A Bitter Contest, Greg Barclay Becomes Cricket’s Chairperson As Mighty India Tightens Its Grip
Greg Barclay was elected cricket's new chairperson after a bruising contest as mighty India get their desired candidate.
Still reading the article, but are we a shill for the BCCI now?
Edit: sounds like BCCI didn't like the Singaporean
He’s well respected and liked testament to running unopposed for deputy chairperson twice previously. The BCCI don’t have a personal vendetta against him, according to sources, but wanted a tighter grip on cricket and more bilateral series which suits their financial model. -
