Just read this. Likely the end of the Boult-Southee test combo.

NZC agrees to release Trent Boult from central contract

The fast bowler's international career will be reduced, as he opts for family time and T20 leagues

I guess it had to happen at some stage, part of a fantastic era

ARHS

Top guy. He shouted the opposition after the match when he played a club fixture earlier this year.

@ARHS that is awesome to hear. He really is lovely Boulty isn't he. Sad to see him starting to wind things down a bit. What a player and a vital contributor to so much of our success in recent years.

100%. Not a bad bowler either

Thanks for the contribution. Like Ross Taylor probably just short of absolute elite status on a world scale but definitely firmly on the next rung down as a very fine player indeed. A fine record and part of the best test team NZ has ever fielded.The combo with Southee and Wags was sooooooooo good.

anyone know the T20 against WI is on right now? WI need 43 off 12 to win ... very late in the piece.

The Neesh just saved a 6 on the second to last ball. Need 15 off 1 now... and we win.

TIghter finish than we'd like - we win by 13 runs.

@KiwiMurph I don't do Twitter ... but would have liked to ahve seen the whole thing

19-3 off Santner's 4 overs.

are we on the world pointless T20 tour?

Also Ross Taylor's book might be good

Yes, yes we are. Ireland, Netherlands, West Indies. We are the ultimate generator of meaningless content for overseas TV networks; kinda dull, not too bad, but unthreatening and likely to sign up for any tour anywhere.

Rosco's book looks bloody interesting. The excerpts online are consistent with racism dressed up as banter typical of a lot of sports team, that clearly affected him deeply. As well as the shitfight with Hesson and NZC.

Should be way more interesting than most Autobiographies!

Don't forget the tour of the mighty Scotland. This is the strongest team selected so far with Williamson, Conway etc back.

Picked up a copy of Ross Taylor’s book at lunchtime today, am looking forward to starting on it tonight.

In terms of sports stars, yes. Most are boring as fuck.
