We are proper shark these days.

it's been two really shark performances from our 'B' squad. No Conway, no Boult, no Williamson. Have to give someof our back up squad gametime, good to see Sears get a run, just a pity our batters didnt stand up to the test.

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.

TV Guide incorrectly telling me we are playing Pakistan not Bangladesh.

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

The Blaze looked washed up by only scoring 89 off 17, but managed a literal 1 run win off the last ball. Melie Kerr is a superstar. Sophie Devine bowled 2 wides in the last over and still won it lol

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.

Agree Buffy- Test is best!

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.

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.

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.
