hoping for a couple more wickets to see who gets Arshdeep
...sniggers like a kid..
-
Allen and Conway developing a solid opening partnership.
Allen 45 off 47, Conway 30/43
NZ 85/0
-
Two overs short of a DLS victory.
NZ takes three match series 1-nil.
Fahnallan finds a little form.
Why play at home in Nov? (I know why ... but the weather ... )

I'm fine with the minimum over requirements, they have to have a cut off somewhere. The only change I wish they would make is that if you're ahead of what the target would be for a twenty over match you get the win. I guess that's tough to calculate because you have to make assumptions about wickets in hand.

That's all part of the DLS. But you say yourself: where's the cut off?
20 0vers today.
You could argue less. But what if you're on target after 9 overs when 10 is the cut off?

Does know one watch cricket any more? Spark Sport seems to have reduced interest in the game.
Back on this. For me it's the balance of the calendar.
Still no tests for 3 months yet, so no incentive to put Spark back on yet for me.
If they had a balanced calendar - like a test series, then a plethora of white ball (as per current satus quo) then another test series late in the season - I'd have the subscription back on, and would keep it on during the white ball stuff, as not bothered to suspend it.I don't hate T20, I put Sky back on for the first time in a year partly for the T20 world cup . But have zero interest in watching another 3 months of it solid.

There’s too much of it and it doesn’t really mean a hell of a lot to me.

T20 is a bit stink
schedule here
2 tests each against Pakistan, Engalnd, Sri Lanka. -
Often the NZ TV Rights for Blackcaps away tours (to the non-sexy places Sky or Spark don't already have TV rights for) don't get finalised until hours before the first ball, when the host board/broadcaster finally clicks that Sky aren't playing tricky hagglers, they just truely aren't going to pay much.
I wonder if Sky v Spark changes this at all?

@nzzp said in NZ Cricket 2022:
@Rapido Boxing day test agianst Pakistan? 3 and a bit weeks away?
Holy shit balls, I did not know that.
That's away though, in Karachi.
Is that on Spark? If so, I'm in. -
@nzzp said in NZ Cricket 2022:
@Rapido far out, didn't realize it was away. That's not right
As weird as an incoming tour in November ...
