    @Rapido said in NZ cricket 2020:

    I like(d) the sky cricket commentary team, only Riggor had started to grate. But only a bit, which is a good effort considering you listen to them for 6 hours a day.

    I think they'd become excellent, so I will miss them.

    From my POV, shame that Riggor is the only one to move.

    Cumming kept abreast of the provincial scene, so wasn't totally blindsided by someone new (like Riggor was). Doull and Styris had great knowledge of other (visiting) world players from their T20 circus gigging. They were a good balanced team. Remember the holy cow days of Martin Crowe ....

    But prepared to give them a go.

    > Jeets should be interesting. Not often have a spinners POV in the box. Plus his domestic,& county knowledge

    .....and with his lack of spin as a player we’re still not getting one

    Honestly,I'll be missing Ian Smith. I know some don't like his commentary style but his level of passion when commenting the Black Caps is next level!

    Some very good names overall, but

    Cricket without Smith, Waddle, Coney
    Cricket with Sumo Stevenson

    ... adds up to me delaying a Spark Sport re-subscription until the very last possible moment.

    Waddle is hilariously grumpy when you actually meet him. When I worked in media he threw a classic tanty when the Microwave didn’t work.

    But by golly him and Coney made long car rides enjoyable with their chat.

    @MN5 And you enjoyed the rain delays as well when they simply "discussed" things whilst awaiting play to resume.

    Kiwi at the helm of the ICC that is most definitely not, and never will be a corrupt organisation.

    seriously, though, good for him.

    Waddle and Coney missing reminds me of the disappointment when Billy Ibudullah was canned.

    Coney by far the best analyst of the big picture.

    @nzzp I can't recall that I've ever heard of him, but this...."and is a former board member and chairman of the Northern Districts Cricket Association" certainly doesn't surprise me.

    Not content with merely taking over every aspect of NZ cricket, these feckers are taking over the world.

    @mariner4life The Mako are doing the same in NZ rugby, but it's a bit bigger and more complex to line up the ducks - so we're slipping behind ND.

    But, we've nearly got the Auckland domino ready to topple (with Agents Leon and Kieran largely running the show up there) and once that one falls our way the momentum will be irresistible. 🙂

    sounds like a bit of BCCI 'leaning' on SA and WIndies.

    After A Bitter Contest, Greg Barclay Becomes Cricket’s Chairperson As Mighty India Tightens Its Grip

    After A Bitter Contest, Greg Barclay Becomes Cricket’s Chairperson As Mighty India Tightens Its Grip

    Greg Barclay was elected cricket's new chairperson after a bruising contest as mighty India get their desired candidate.

    Still reading the article, but are we a shill for the BCCI now?

    Edit: sounds like BCCI didn't like the Singaporean
    He’s well respected and liked testament to running unopposed for deputy chairperson twice previously. The BCCI don’t have a personal vendetta against him, according to sources, but wanted a tighter grip on cricket and more bilateral series which suits their financial model.

    Watching Auckland Wellington at the moment.

    Sumo is a decent bloke, but has no clue about the game. The female commentator knows her stuff by comparison, thank goodness

    Too soon. I recall him being quite a solid player, who didn't play that many tests
