    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.

    Fines to be issued for excessive runrates....

      Rahul Dravid could get a recall......I remember falling asleep watching on the couch when he came out to bat then waking up about half an hour later and he was still on 0.......

        Might be a diet of Ashes, Super Smash, and Big Bash in January. That first flurry of games v Oz might be good for Junior cricket recruitment locally.

          @MN5 Hashim Amla was particularly adept at putting up the wall as well, e.g. https://www.cricket.com.au/news/3309826/amlas-record-breaking-go-slow-staves-off-defeat

            Unfortunately I can’t see it getting better anytime soon - this isn’t just a one off bad summer. Most of them are like this now or similar.

            And trying to hype up the village level Super Smash for Jan/Feb? Please.

              We haven't played a test since December last year......we're not due to play another til December THIS year.

              Windies are touring, should be a good chance for a number of our guys to pad their averages ( although the Windies have unearthed a few good pace bowlers of late ) but according to this we only have a total of THREE tests this summer ?

              What am I missing ?

                I think you've nailed it unfortunately...

                Arguably when NZC looks good as an organisation, it's helped by NZ Rugby being the main domestic comparison...

                  Windies have just rolled Australia for 180.
                  But yeah, we aren’t a viable commodity globally despite our results - and the ICC is a toothless tiger in dealing with T20 leagues. There should be international windows carved out (or franchise windows depending on your POV) Ala football - which is not a perfect system but international cricket risks dying if it keeps this up

                    Like I said, good pace bowlers. Seales and Joseph with 9 wickets between them. Great effort.

                    Their batting is another story, Kraigg Brathwaite has battled to 99 tests with a career average of 33. Says it all considering none of the others average over 30.

                        Like I said, good pace bowlers. Seales and Joseph with 9 wickets between them. Great effort.

                        Their batting is another story, Kraigg Brathwaite has battled to 99 tests with a career average of 33. Says it all considering none of the others average over 30.

                        This test wont last 4 days
                        Interesting to see you can watch it on Disney + as well

                        Absolutely not. The Australian bowlers will plow through these guys then the batsmen will do much better second time round and roll them again.

                        @NTA any reason Smith and Bus change aren't playing ?

                            Thanks for a quick response ( I could have probably googled that but always nice when someone gets back to you 🙂 )

                                Yeah if any country has struggled at test level due to anyone decent playing T20 it's them.

                                That top order is Black Caps mid 90s bad.

                                        We haven't played a test since December last year......we're not due to play another til December THIS year.

                                        Windies are touring, should be a good chance for a number of our guys to pad their averages ( although the Windies have unearthed a few good pace bowlers of late ) but according to this we only have a total of THREE tests this summer ?

                                        What am I missing ?

                                        Windies have just rolled Australia for 180.
                                        But yeah, we aren’t a viable commodity globally despite our results - and the ICC is a toothless tiger in dealing with T20 leagues. There should be international windows carved out (or franchise windows depending on your POV) Ala football - which is not a perfect system but international cricket risks dying if it keeps this up

                                        Like I said, good pace bowlers. Seales and Joseph with 9 wickets between them. Great effort.

                                        Their batting is another story, Kraigg Brathwaite has battled to 99 tests with a career average of 33. Says it all considering none of the others average over 30.

                                        This test wont last 4 days

                                          Real fans would know we are playing two tests against Zimbabwe very soon.
