Want to be a great change seamer in Test cricket? Winning the genetic lottery doesn't hurt.

Mitchell Santner is poised to become the 41st New Zealand Test Cricket Captain, including the nine women to have captained the White Ferns in Tests, and the 32nd Black Caps Test captain, as the team returns to Test cricket tonight in Bulawayo.

Black Caps bowling first.

With the T20 tri-series ongoing and Sri Lanka and Bangladesh’s series recently wrapping up, here’s a look at (almost) every team’s scheduled build up to the 2026 T20 World Cup.

From 70 for 5 in 9.3 overs, Tim Robinson and Bevon Jacobs take New Zealand to 173.

A match-winning total? bit.ly/TriSeries202... #NZvSA

“Gee, Robinson and Jacobs are going to be serious players for New Zealand in the future,” I find myself thinking about batters who just scored 75* and 44* in international cricket for us right now.

Love to see them running three at the end there. Never understood why teams don’t just keep running til they’re runout, it’s the last ball, it doesn’t matter.

Tim Seifert has been an absolute menace recently, scoring another breezy 22(16) today. This year in T20Is, only Abhishek Sharma and Turkey’s Muhammad Fahad strike faster (min. 200 runs).

Bevon Jacobs to debut, NZ batting first, & the first match of the Walter era, I’m excited!

Also, please tell me I’m not the only one who thinks of Tim Robinson from I Think You Should Leave whenever I see Tim Robinson, the cricketer, playing for New Zealand?

Does anybody know of a way to (ideally legally) watch the South Africa vs New Zealand T20 series in Australia tonight? Current plans involve ThreeNow and three little letters starting with V, is there a better way?

Tonight, as they kick off their tri-series against Zimbabwe and South Africa, the Black Caps will play a game of cricket in Africa for the first time in 3,263 days.

Safe to say it has been a long, thirsty wait between drinks.

It’s a sad thought, but is that the last time we’ll see Australia play Test cricket in the Caribbean? You couldn’t rule it out.

For god’s sake, West Indies. You couldn’t have scored two fewer runs and taken this unsavoury record from us?

There’s throwing someone to the wolves, and then there’s asking them to face Mitchell Starc with the pink new ball in his 100th test ON DEBUT…

With Joe Root passing the record for most Test catches, I am once again asking why we don’t track proper stats for catching percentage (and fielding and wicket keeping in general…) in cricket? Seems kinda relevant…

I really hope they don’t booooooo Joe Root again when he brings up his hundred :(

You know that thing where you look up and Joe Root’s somehow already on 20-odd? I just experienced that.

I wasn’t Reddy for that.

Worst Test averages batting in the top six, minimum 3,000 runs scored.

Is it controversial to point out that Crawley, Pope, and Stokes all feature?
