    Kind of slipping under the radar - this feels like it should be a bigger deal!

    Not the most naturally talented but I can't think of another player who eked out all he could out of himself like Dan the Man.

    Carried the team on his own for quite a long period of time. Quite literally the best bowler, best batsman as well as being the captain at one stage.

    I always thought it was a shame his career didn't start and end ten years later so he could have been a part of that extraordinary team we had.

    Richly deserved.

          He's a Cantab. Cantabs engrained in the old boys network.
          It's not what you know it's who you know. Look at Henry Nicolls If he were't a Cantab he wouldn't be anywhere near the team.

                There is a merry-go-round with the Otago coaching spot. Former Aussie international Ash Noffke has left to be Mike Hesson's assistant with Pakistan.

                  The schedule for the 25-26 home summer has been released.

                  Facing OZ, England, West Indies and South Africa.
                  Disappointed we aren't playing more T20I's tbh

                  Just 3 tests at home, 3...

                    Frankly, this sucks. Again. We are a total minnow.

                    Our mens cricket season is basically done before Christmas, except for a 5 T20 tour in bloody March.

                    ICC events and IPL have killed our summers. I hate it. All the good players are playing overseas during the good weather, and what we are getting is a shitload of money earning T20 games that I just can't get excited about.

                      Our best summer months of Jan and Feb are cricket-less for the men
                      16 T20I's is fucken ridiculous.

                      Only good point worth mentioning is we do have one of the higher number of tests in the next WTC cycle with 16 in total. Clearly 90% of which must be overseas.

                                'the game' is T20. Everything else is apparently an anachronism.

                                T20 just fades into a blancmange of bland sixes that don't mean anything. It's boring. Tests are where it's at!

                                      We had no home test cricket this year. That was shit. I can't believe it's going to happen again.

                                        Do I want to sit on the grass banks of Bay Oval in the night-time of the first week in October? That's NPC time! We're playing Waikato at the domain the Saturday before!

                                          The time is ripe for a Kerry Packer style "Supertest" rebellion - hiring all the batsmen that would rather bat like Bradman and Boycott, rather than BMac.
