Has this just changed in NZ for this series? Just asking as it appears we have the same comms team in AUS that we had for the recent tests.

@jk Could be a very short game - NED 45/5 after 13
The Dutchies are making you eat your words.
What a partnership.
Who the fuck are these guys though ? Bring back minnows I know like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
Oh hang on, Bangladesh beat us. Stink.

Some interesting stats from Francis Payne in a Twitter thread in response to 'why we need to play the Netherlands' - I didn't know about the planned tour with Bradman that never was...
I used to enjoy when they interviewed Francis Payne on the Dilmah tea party. Definitely on some sort of spectrum but what a fountain of knowledge he is !

@mn5 I watched Rippon bowling for Otago earlier this season and he is really handy. A left arm wrist-spinner - not many of those around.
Could even potentially have been a useful option for NZ, but I guess he'd now have some sort of stand down period.

No stand down.
Playing for an associate doesnt affect qualification for full member countries. -

Playing for an associate doesnt affect qualification for full member countries.As if we as a cricketing nation would ever stoop to poaching players of any sort of dutch origin.

At 52/5 I put a bit of cash down on the Dutchies not making 115.
And then decided to temper my arrogance with a bit of a mitigating bet... even more on them just not making 151.Fuckers.

He was actually born in SA so would probably fit right in.

It's OK - the Dutchies have largely poached him.
He's mainly a Jaapie so perfectly fine for us!
