2017 Niche Cache World Tour Aotearoa Cricket Selection: Batsmen
Bharat Popli wasn't exactly as good as last season, but he still went alright and we're all about supporting the up and comers on the Niche Cache World Tour.
Kiwi County Tour #4 (Royal London One-Day Cup)

Anthony Joshua vs Wladimir Klitschko Was Everything It Was Hoped To Be
41 year old Wladimir Klitschko, trying to regain the crown he wore for a decade as the finest heavyweight in the world, up against Anthony Joshua, the finest of the next generation of fighters. What more could you want?
2017 Niche Cache World Tour Aotearoa Cricket Selection (Wicket-Keepers)
Aotearoa's wicket-keeping depth is such that we've had to select a gang of them for the Niche Cache World Tour. Better break the bank and stock up on strapping tape for their poor little fingers.
Do the Blackcaps Know Their Best XI Going Into the Champions Trophy?
There are win-now approaches and there are build-for-the-future approaches and then there’s the Lesson Blackcaps (Lesson = Larsen + Hesson), where players are dropped without explanation, others are recalled for tenuous reasons and nobody seems to really know where they stand outside a few main heroes.
Blackcaps x Champions Trophy: Soooooo, How Do We Win?
Aotearoa has three world-class batsmen, but it'll probably be up to Neil Broom at No.5 to chip in with some big runs against Australia and England.
Razvan Cojanu… Who Are Ya?
A guy like Cojanu is in no place to get a shot at a title under normal circumstances, he’s just in the right place at the right time is all. But with that belt dangling as bait, Parker and Duco were always gonna have a few messages in the voicemail.
2017 Kiwi County Tour #3
Sonny Bill Wagner didn't take a wicket but he did knock some bloke over as he went up against James Franklin on the Kiwi County Tour. Lord Jeetz took a few wickets and scored a few runs as well, nothing new there.
Who’s Next For Joe Parker Now That The Hughie Fury Thing’s Fallen Through?
Right, a top 15 WBO heavyweight. If you happen to have one of those lying around then give Duco a call. Perhaps check down the side of the sofa, in the pockets of your pants before you put them through the washer, definitely have a search underneath the seats of your car.

Parker vs Fury Ain’t Happening, Ending A Long & Frustrating Boxing Debacle
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.
2017 Kiwi County Tour #2
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.
2017 Kiwi County Tour #1
No more Blackcap Jeetan, it's all about Lord Jeetz as he's back in action for Warwickshire Bears on the Kiwi County Tour.
Blackcaps x Champions Trophy: Silly Little Tri-Series Squad
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 Stats From the Blackcaps’ 2016-17 Home Summer of Test Cricket
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.
Domestic Cricket Daily: Plunket Shield #10
