I didn't follow it too closely, but when I did channel surf through the Lankan Premier League the crowds looked very thin. Who is the Lanka Premier League actually for?
While the Sri Lankan economy hasn't been great recently, it'll be interesting to see which T20/The Hundred type leagues survive, and which can still pay the salaries that make it worth turning down international contracts in a few years time...

Ajaz Patel back in the mix along with Michael Bracewell.

Bracewell is the journeyman's journeyman

I'll stand up for Mike. Should never be in the test squad. But, is a lock every day of the week in the pyjama cricket. Which is interesting as a young cricketer he looked a veey good top order four day bat. I just don't see him as a bowling all rounder

four test tour to Australia in a couple of summers. Can we please start preparing for that now so we do not completely embarrass ourselves?
Also CA fire the first shots by not giving Qld a test, and suddenly the pressure is on the Qld Government. You do NOT fuck with the populaces access to cricket.

Lou Vincent finally gets his 100th ODI cap. The occasion even brought Hadlee to tears.
You have to be made of stone not to feel something for Lou
Brassed me off no end his life time ban. He was just a dumb kid easily influenced by the wrong crowd. He should have been rehabilitated. And then you have some blokes from the sub-continent doing it for years without punishment and Australians caught cheating in SA and we're back in 12 months. Sick.

Great guy off the field too was Lou Vincent. Always had time for everyone.

@African-Monkey That was his problem

Replacing Conway and Allen.
Wellington seamer Nathan Smith and power hitting Central Districts allrounder Josh Clarkson have earned their first Black Caps cricket contracts for the coming season.
Nathan Smith is a good option, not convinced Clarkson will be more than a journeyman at international level.

Right decision. Curtains down on a very good career. Certainly one of NZs best ever.
A great combo of longevity AND class.
Sort of a bowling equivalent of Ross Taylor, not QUITE World class maybe but there wouldn’t be a team in his era who wouldn’t have had him in the mix in their squads ( ok maybe except for Australia in recent years )
Thanks Timmy, you’ve been an absolute champ.
