Its Summer! - the Fever Cricket Thread.
That South Africa team that is touring here is a fudgeing disgrace. If we don’t whitewash them we should never play test cricket again.

We can't even dominate Bangladesh
How bout that Finn Allen eh??? Been loving this series against Pakistan, really good stuff.
Just been watching the Women's Pacific T20 Cup being broadcast on TVNZ on demand. Samoa just pulled off an epic come-from-behind win against Vanuatu, smashing 16 off the last over
Congrats to the Wellington Blaze!! They beat the Central Hinds in the T20 Super Smash competition this afternoon in Auckland. Came right down to the wire.

Test cricket is the absolute best. No other format will ever come close.
Absolutely. Australia and India losing home test matches on the same day must be pretty rare! Both matches showing no matter how dominant you are, batting 4th is always the toughest thing to do in a test match.
Thought Ashwin might sneak them home there for a bit.
Agree Buffy- Test is best!

What an amazing last 6 months for Ravindra
Kane Williamson now has 31 test centuries.
I doubt we will ever see a batsmen like him again for New Zealand.

Williamson has converted 10 of his last 11 fifties in to hundreds.
The one he didn't convert? 52 not out against India in the World Test Championship final to get us over the line along with Ross Taylor.
An all time great of the sport.

Wonderful stat on the TV just now. This is the 8th time that Kane Williamson has brought up his 34th fifty. #NZvSA

Our greatest ever sportsman.

Second test is not off to a good start
what is it about play the aussies that we in turn to amatuers?
I'm feeling optimistic with where we are at with the test match. We can do this!!!
Is anyone watching the T20 match with NZ v Afghanistan? Afghans are playing well.
Yep and that fielding performance was probably the worst ive ever seen.
And Finnie the slog, crap shot first ball.
We are going to lose this

55-7, man it will be a miracle if we can win this from here.
No miracle to be had. Congratulations Afghanistan, fully deserved he 84 run win. The first T20 win against NZ. Back to the drawing board for us.
We are shark.
Another Black Cap-itulation
And another one. As my colleague called it, who cares about plastic cricket.
Hope the West Indies win the tournament.

Black Caps officially knocked out as Afghanistan beat PNG

Must say, with cricket being my second sport, this tournament has brought home to roost a few hard truths. Not many have covered themselves in glory - Perhaps Glenn Phillips, Trent Boult & Lachie Ferguson are the only one who can say they've performed well in this world cup so far. Doesn't mean much to be fair, and Boulty pretty much picks and chooses when he wants to play nowadays, so you can't set anything for the future around his availability...
Probably the most disappointed I've been in the Blackcaps since being rolled for 45 in Cape Town some 10+ years ago now.
Get Stead gone.

We are shark at test cricket now as well so don't even have that to fall back on.
Been in decline since that test championship win in 2021. Need a big overhaul.
I seem to think we have a test coming up this year against Afghanistan away at a neutral venue.
Who would like to bet that NZ cricket are utter hypocrites and decide to pull out of that citing Taliban atrocities?
If they do after playing them in the World Cup then that will be enough for me of watching this team, pick and choose when they want to play.

Looking forward to today's game with Uganda.
We should be able to register a win today. Though I'm struggling as to how it took 18.4 overs to bowl them out.
Corey Anderson playing for the USA. All aboard the bandwagon I say!
