Despite plenty hints to the contrary, Duco came out big to claim the purse bid for the Parker-Fury fight and ensure that it'll probably be hosted in NZ. With that comes a few relevant questions.
That third ODI in Hamilton was special and the Blackcaps had a few heroes. Dean Brownlie was one of them, just be happy that we've got a bloke like Brownlie because that hasn't always been the case.
Ish Sodhi is back in the Blackcaps squad for the third ODI - perhaps we've made a breakthrough in a traditional kiwi cricketing mindset? Perhaps not.
Tim Seifert and Henry Nicholls both went large while Michael Rippon is a Dutch-South African who is sneaking his way up the rankings for Otago with bat and ball.
Do you remember the days of good old fashioned death bowling? You know, thumping yorker after thumping yorker, dig that one out you muppet! Six in a row and that’s all it takes.

Martin Guptill and Glenn Phillips went to boom-town, as did everyone else in the Auckland vs Central Districts game and Otago have a fresh Dutch international who goes alright.
Not a next-best Blackcaps Test team, just a Slightly Different Blackcaps Test team.
From Tommy Latham and his many, many runs to a Blackcaps pace trio that don't much like to share. Let's not forget a record partnership from Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim either.
Sara McGlashan, Suzie Bates and Amy Satterthwaite are in the WBBL02 semi-finals, while the rest of our White Ferns have been knocked out. Time for finals cricket!
