Forget the IPL and forget the Blackcaps, it's time for the Niche Cache World Tour! We're back to select a gang of kiwis to roll around Asia and South America, playing some cricket and learning a thing or two.
Fight’s off, people. Finish your drink and get your coats, see if the chauffeur won’t bring the car around. Turns out Joseph Parker’s WBO heavyweight title defence against Hughie Fury won’t be going ahead after all.
Jeetan Patel didn't take too many wickets for Warwickshire, he scored plenty of runs though and left the wickets for Essex seamer Neil Wagner.
No more Blackcap Jeetan, it's all about Lord Jeetz as he's back in action for Warwickshire Bears on the Kiwi County Tour.
Of course Luke Ronchi's in the Blackcaps ODI squad for a pre-Champions Trophy tri-series. Pity Tom Blundell couldn't get a run or many other youngins' for that matter.
The kiwi summer of cricket is over, folks. No point donning the whites and heading down to the nets in hope of a few throw-downs, that baggy cap is gonna have to be put away down the back of the wardrobe.
George Worker and Tom Blundell hit centuries, while Ish Sodhi took 11 wickets in the last round of Plunket Shield cricket. Those three get the focus, don't stress because there's a whole lot more domestic cricket stuff coming.
Some easy choices and some tricky choices as we run through the domestic cricket teams to see who is going to be next to make their Test debut.
Another Test series down and this time Kane Williamson reassumed his role at the top of the hill. 309 runs at an average of 77.25, scoring them at a decent clip as well.
Happy days for the Blackcaps as they put together a far better performance in Hamilton, who knows how this Test team looks in 12 months time though.
Corey Anderson's back bowling (barely) for Northern Districts and Anaru Kitchen's the only joker who can rival Colin Munro right now.
No statistic about Kane Williamson can create the same feeling in a cricket-lovers soul as Kane Williamson's cover-drive can.
Peter Younghusband and Josef Walker took spinnin' wickets, Will Young scored another century, Cole McConchie's also soaking up some runs and what do we do with Glenn Phillips?
Scott Kuggeleijn's just as good as any other 'bowler who can bat' in Aotearoa and he's a damn good bowler, so he's in the Blackcaps squad.
He's got a famous family and a complicated name but what's the deal with the bloke who'll take on Joseph Parker for his WBO heavyweight title fight?
Tom Bruce and Lockie Ferguson deserve to be mentioned as possible Blackcaps Test players and what's if Ajaz Patel is just better than Mitchell Santner?
Cool ya jets on Tom Latham, definitely wake up to the low key shambles that is Aotearoa's Test cricket team though.
Take two of Aotearoa's best three cricketers out of the Blackcaps and well, they don't go so well. And in some funk like South Africa's spinners dominating and we might have a shambles.
Henry Nicholls sucks, but Henry Nicholls hit a century. He's not the next great kiwi batsmen and he won't be dropped when he struggles to get a few runs.
Veteran opening batsmen are dominating the Plunket Shield and it's probably time that we take notice.
