He looked pretty good in his lone test against Australia, I think he's got a lot of potential.
Henry, O'Rourke and a fit Jamieson will go crazy though.

Yes, Sears has genuine pace as well. The future without Southee, Boult, Wagner isn't nearly as gloomy as it looked previously. And as much as I loved those three, having that genuine pace bowler that can bowl a hostile spell for us is awesome

Massive win but somehow still feels quite hollow.

Santner man of the match and deservedly so. That forth innings tap he was getting was what I was expecting but all credit to him, it was his batting and 2nd innings spell that made a huge difference. Add in Will Young and his record while playing for us over the last little while looks very good. Hard to leave him out now, surely? Our bowling has been largely fairly good this season but it has been our top order batting that has been the issue.

Future looks pretty bright with our bowling stocks. Need a new coach that is positive, has high standards and is in control. Time to bring in some changes for the next test matches which are so far away. What has happened here NZC? Disappointing stuff. Time to look at Mariu and Hay I think. No better time than the next series IMO

Bring on Zimbabwe! 🥳

Agree with this one.
Was just wondering about the worth of statistics in the context of sports.
Santner took 4 2nd innings wickets which will forever be in his stats and I applaud that but 3 of those were just the batsmen throwing his wicket away.
Just pointing out that statistics are often misleading.
However great way to finish an underwhelming series 👏
 
Series win for ebgland, but that 3rd test thrashing brings up some serious issues with the bazball principle. Test cricket, especially top order batters is about time occupying the crease as much as scoring. That attitude in Aussie will see them smashed.
 
So a healthy diet of white ball cricket coming up has got me thinking....

I would like the black caps to build towards the champions trophy playing the best possible team.

And experimenting a little bit with the T20 Team in the interim.

My ODI Team to build towards the cup.
1 R Ravindra
2 T Lathem wk
3 K Williamson
4 W Young
5 D Mitchell
6 G Phillips
7 L Gregorson
8 M Santner c
9 L Furguson
10 M Henry
11 W O'Rourke

12 M Hay wk
13 J Clarkson
14 Z Foulkes
15 H Nicholls

My T20 is murky because of contract status and t20 in general, would love this team though.

1 F Allen
2 T Robinson
3 R Ravindra
4 G Phillips
5 B Jacobs
6 T Seifert wk
7 M Bracewell
8 M Santner
9 Z Foulkes
10 A Milne
11 L Furguson

12 I Sodhi
13 J Clarkson
14 D Foxcroft
15 S Keane

Thoughts?
 

‘Genuine possibility’ Kyle Jamieson could play for the Black Caps this summer​

Gary Stead believes there is 'a genuine possibility' Kyle Jamieson could play for the Black Caps before the end of the summer.
The 29-year-old seam bowler has been sidelined from top-level cricket since mid-February, when he suffered a recurrence of a stress fracture in his back after the first test against South Africa.
But he made a welcome return to the bowling crease on Wednesday, when he completed four overs and took 1-15 for Canterbury A in a Twenty20 against a New Zealand Development XI in Rangiora.
He remains on track to step up to domestic level at some stage during the T20 Super Smash, which starts on Boxing Day and runs until February 2.

Jamieson first suffered a back injury during the Black Caps' test tour of England in June 2022, in the second match at Trent Bridge, and was sidelined for the rest of that year.

He was poised to make his return to international cricket in February 2023, but suffered a setback that required surgery, and ultimately returned to the Black Caps for the first time in August that year, playing for the next six months before being sidelined again.
“Kyle's been through some incredibly tough periods of time, with the recurrence of the stress fracture in his back," Stead said this week.
“It's pretty rare for that to happen, so the way he's knuckled down into into a rehab plan and gone about his work (has been good).

“I know from having a quick text message with him (on Wednesday night) – he said it nice to bowl without a net around him.
“He'll be hugely excited to get back, and we're excited to see how he goes in the Super Smash that's coming up."
Jamieson won't be in contention for the Champions Trophy one-day international tournament in Pakistan in February and March, but Stead hasn't ruled him out of the T20 and ODI series against Pakistan in late March and in early April that close out the home summer.
Kyle Jamieson’s latest return to the Black Caps will likely come in coloured clothing, in ODIs or T20s.

"I think that's a genuine possibility, but it's just game by game at the moment, and we'll keep assessing how he goes and how he's feeling."


In Jamieson's absence this year, the Black Caps have been fortunate to have Will O'Rourke make an impressive start to life as a test cricketer, taking 36 wickets in his first 10 matches.
While they are both tall – O'Rourke 1.97m, Jamieson 2.03m – they are different types of bowlers, with 23-year-old O'Rourke mainly looking to bang the ball into the pitch and Jamieson largely looking to pitch it up.
At the same time, the prospect of them bowling in tandem – and alongside new-ball specialist Matt Henry, fresh from the best year of his career at age 32 – when the Black Caps return to test action in the second half of next year is a mouthwatering one for New Zealand cricket fans.
“When you look at the programme over the next three or four years, it would be great to have Kyle fit and going strong, together with the likes of Will – and Ben Sears," Stead said.
“That makes for exciting times ahead.”

That comment about Sam Wells was pretty bitchy.

You're not wrong, I've got no opinion on Wells as a selector, anything I've heard has been about Larsen having his favourites and you might as well look overseas straight away when it was clear you wernt one of them, but that comment from Doull makes it look like there's some history between the two.

Pretty sure Allen turned down a full time contract.
Looks like he’s going to become a T20 mercenary and make bank.

he has had a great start to the BBL. 6 and out. 4 and out. if he stopped trying to hit every single ball for six and was a little bit more selective with which deliveries to have a go at he could be such a good player. As it is, if there is any movement then he tends to struggle.

Yup that’s my team the Scorchers.
First runs in the comp was an amazing 6 then bowled next ball lol.
Totally agree, needs to be way more selective.
I’m glad NZ Cricket denied him a Casual contract, you have to do a lot more in the Black Caps uniform before you deserve that.

The fact is that the shorter version of cricket has been a detriment to Test cricket as we know it.
Now we hear calls for 4 day Tests
