@Sportsfreakconz Missed opportunity. Play an ODI or T20 today for the fans. NZ could have played with 7 or 8, just to even things up.

@AdamKerrBell @michelappleton Wads was wearing the creams ready to field. Coney (retired) & Ken Nicholson (TV reporter) both fielded for NZ due to illness. Other feature of that tour was Hadlee claiming world record for wickets (from Botham), in 1st test. And no, wasn’t televised.

@michelappleton Probably Wadds commentating on his lonesome
English
No, I was six; the first Test I watched (🇳🇿 v 🇦🇺 at the Basin in 1990) was a year and a bit later.
I’m not even sure if it was televised in NZ? Suspect my father would have listened to radio commentary on Sports Roundup…and most of the action would have happened while I slept.

@michelappleton @BLACKCAPS Did you watch the 1988 match ?

@Sportsfreakconz Not esp unusual to eschew home games to play early-season cricket at those eastern venues. One of them is on Labour Weekend? Half of Auckland will be down at the Mount. But yea, fair point.
English
Auckland hosting three Ford Trophy matches at the Bay Oval once more highlights how the country's biggest city needs to sort its shit out when it comes to cricket

Canada will win gold now

#BREAKING Canada Women’s Head Coach Bev Priestman has been removed from the Canadian Olympic Team after being suspended. Canada Soccer’s CEO says “In light of new revelations,” referring to the drone use against opponents Priestman has been suspended. @1NewsNZ

@Sportsfreakconz Two well matched sides but it’ll depend a bit on which wicket the BCCI selects to play on.
English
OK, so we are all Saffers for one day. The BCCI has turned this thing into an unbalanced circus. For them to choke against the chokers would be glorious

@samuelsmith1988 @BLACKCAPS Hmmm certainly not all of them!
I think there are four NZ-born players to play Test cricket for other teams: Grimmett, Groube, Julian for 🇦🇺 & Caddick for 🏴
Must be more in ODI/T20 cricket though … ie players who started out in NZ, but ended up playing for emerging nations…

@pooliecoast @Sportsfreakconz @bopman1 Does anyone remember cricket’s Hood Report? Some 30 years ago. Coincidentally the same time that rugby went professional.
English
@Sportsfreakconz @bopman1 Excellent piece. Thank you. Well said indeed

It seems the main talking point around the Blackcaps team naming for the T20 World Cup is .,, about what colour they'll be wearing.

This announcement seems to be about 4 months earlier than normal?
Cashing in on the hype around the Australia tests sell outs seems smart.
Maybe also aimed at the UK Barmy Army set, not just based in the UK but Australia & Hong Kong too?

@andrewnixon79 Yes, Borren is a good call. I thought about those age-group teams, there might be one or two others who turned up in Associate cricket. Thanks.

Congrats to Corey Anderson, selected in the USA squad for T20I series next month. If he does play think he becomes first mens player to first play for NZ before then another int’l team? @FPayne100

USA Cricket announces its 15-member squad for T20I series against Canada The five match series will start from 7th April in Houston, TX. #WeAreUSACricket

@CricFanUSA @FPayne100 Thanks, yes there’s a few current/former first-class players who’ve made the move to int’l teams. Logan van Beek prob most well-known, & Theo van Woerkom (Ireland) being the latest. The USA (from NZ angle) has only had the Kain & Anderson connections. MLC may change that! Thanks.
English
@PeterClinton5 @FPayne100 In recent years, Marty Kain played for Central Districts before moving to the USA and appearing against Ireland in USA’s first win over a full member. Marty never played for NZ though.
English
@FPayne100 Thanks Francis, I figured we might have to go back some way if there was anyone at all.

@PeterClinton5 Stewie Dempster played for Scotland v Australia in 1934. Last test for NZ in 1932/33.
