The Niche Cache's Kiwi-African XI features cricketers born in South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe, plus we've got a decent gang of Kiwi-Indian cricketers running around on the domestic circuit.
No runs for Suzie Bates in her latest Women's T20 Super League outing, she's still dominating though and with finals approaching, it's time for clutch-Bates to step up.
Suzie Bates had yet another impressive knock with the bat, but Rachel Priest stole the show and joined Bates as the only batters to hit centuries in the Women's T20 Super League. Two kiwis, two centuries and a whole 'lotta boundaries.
Suzie Bates scored some runs and took some wickets in the Women's T20 Super League - business as usual ya know?
Tom Walsh brought home the gold but he had plenty of kiwi company at the Athletics World Champs who didn't quite make the same headlines.
*insert fast food sponsor here* Super Smash's schedule has been announced and NZC really aren't helping themselves, even in the parameters of this weird game they are playing.
Suzie Bates was in fine form for Southern Vipers, leading the way on the Kiwi County Tour bus as the Women's T20 Super League got through its first wave of fixtures.
Tom Latham hit a century for Durham in his 2017 Kiwi County Tour debut, James Franklin and Jeetan Patel went to battle for the back-seat bandit top spot and our KCT adopted cuzzy Mohammad Amir took a casual 10-wicket haul.
Northern Knights coach James Pamment answered a few questions for El Niche Cache.
Daniel Vettori and Stephen Fleming are the two smartest kiwi cricketing minds, they just aren't helping the Blackcaps. All good, everyone's better off waiting until the sillyness is over.
Honestly, Tom Walsh is one of New Zealand’s top athletes. At this stage he simply has to be. Perhaps he doesn’t look like Sonny Bill Williams when he takes the sleeves off but this guy is an athletic freak in his own right
Suzie Bates and her Southern Vipers are defending Kia Women's Super League champions, there's a few more kiwi women who wouldn't mind upsetting the White Ferns skipper though.
Wladimir Klitschko has retired from boxing. 21 years in the sport and he leaves it with a 64-5 record having fought a record 29 title bouts amongst them. That's the legend right there.
What would happen in kiwi cricketers had a say in their cricketing schedule?
Guess what!? Corey Anderson's battlin' a bad back again.
New Zealand Cricket has released their summer schedule and there will be more Tests in the Ashes than there will be in Aotearoa this summer. Yuck.
Craig Cachopa and Bevan Small will be back in action this summer as the domestic cricket contracts were sussed. There's an early Power Ranking squiz as well for you domestic dorks.
The Athletics World Championships are taking place in London from August 4-13. It ain’t the Olympics… but it’s the next best thing, don’t doubt it.
Central Districts Stags coach Heinrich Malan is back to answer a few off-season questions for El Niche Cache.
A crappy Champions Trophy and a crappy Women's World Cup could be reason for concern about kiwi cricket. Aotearoa has talent and there's even more talent coming through, so should we be worried or exciting, or both?
