Conway is looking pretty good mate... heard him say before the Test he isn't worried about what position he plays as it's just about mindset so you just need to adjust & play the ball on it's merit, really like his attitude.

Don't know who the kiwi commentator is mate, hope it's not that idiot Scotty Stevenson.

Surprised we chose to bat early in their season Craig - decent start so far though... yeah, Jimmy is 105 and still going 😉

It's astonishing that Santner keeps getting selected in the 11 - reckon Jamieson will do the job without Boult there... don't rate Henry that much as a pace bowler as he doesn't do much with the ball, in English conditions though he could be pretty effective on their seaming wickets. Totally...

Craig - Conway to start... Santner, Henry & de Grandhomme are competing for two spots. 1st TEST {Lords} Tonight - 8pm {AusT} NZ : Tom Latham, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson (captain), Ross Taylor, Henry Nicholls, BJ Watling, Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Kyle Jamieson, Tim Southee...

It's bloody annoying Craig they won't be playing the final at Lords, as you say it has all the tradition/atmosphere etc - don't know much about Southampton's Rose Bowl, why play on a postage stamp though, they could have at least selected a venue with a bigger ground. Yeah, that's very arrogant...

Spot on mate 👏 ...he was an amazing runner in the 5,000 and 10,000 metre races.

:thumbsu:

Who is this bloke ?

That's the one mate :thumbsu: ...in the mid 70's was the first bloke to run under 3:50 for the mile, also the first to run more than 100 sub-four-minute miles.

Yeah, just playing a practice match among ourselves does stuff all for our preparation for the upcoming test - the great thing about back in Bradman's day is they didn't play any bloody white ball cricket so it was all about red ball matches... wish it was the same these days Craig.

who is this ?

It started {Thursday} yesterday mate 9.30am {NZT} - as mentioned in the post Conway scored an unbeaten 55 as an opener... didn't know about it until I saw the article this morning.

Craig - Conway made an unbeaten 55 in intra-squad match ...but prefer playing him down the order. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/cricket/black-caps/125268852/black-cap-devon-conway-closer-to-test-debut-after-intimidating-intrasquad-match Black Caps two-day intra-squad match at Southampton ...

😄

Pretty sure it's British boxer Joshua ?

The rain has stuffed up most of our preparation Craig... hope the 1st test starts on time ?

That link lost the info that I wanted to post mate... here's another link : weather is that bad will probably be a washout. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/cricket/black-caps/125236438/black-caps-preparation-hampered-by-one-of-englands-wettest-mays-on-record Reckon it just shows how bloody...

Heptathlon ? ...yeah, Thomas is likely to know her.
