Kiwis in BBL08: All About Them Coaches
Perhaps my favourite cricketing idea to follow and discuss, is Aotearoa's involvement in Australia's Big Bash League.
Domestic Cricket Daily: Knights vs Aces and Their 'A' Lads
With those Blackcaps not involved in the Sri Lanka Test series and Aotearoa 'A' cricketers flooding back into Plunket Shield, a funky window has been left open.

On the boundary during the first Blackcaps Test of the kiwi summer, in his standard edition Blackcaps cap alongside the best drinks-runner in the world Matt Henry, was Will Young.
Kiwis In WBBL04: Stay Battlin'
On the back of a year filled with T20 struggles, it's no surprise that this has flowed into WBBL04 for our White Ferns.
Joseph Parker Got Frisky And Dropped Alexander Flores
Really, this one was never in doubt. Joseph Parker was always expected to win against Alexander Flores, probably not as easy as he ended up doing but you know what I mean.
Blackcaps vs Sri Lanka: Test Series Preview
Sri Lanka are back in Aotearoa to play a couple Tests and challenge an invigorated Blackcaps Test team that has casually won a series on foreign soil with new coach Gary Stead.

Domestic Cricket Daily: Plunket Shield #3 (Spinnin')
Plunket Shield cricket is back, although there's still a hefty contingent of kiwi cricketers busy on Blackcaps, Aotearoa A or even Aotearoa 11 duties and that can be viewed as a beautiful thing given the opportunities such a weird schedule offers.
Blackcaps in UAE: Tremendous Test Series Win
Every cloud has a silver lining and it's not what happens to you, it's all about how you react to what happens.

Kiwis in #WBBL04: Sophie Devine's Back
Thankfully, the Women's Big Bash League has come swiftly after the super downbuzz World T20 campaign for Aotearoa's White Ferns.
Wilder vs Fury Just Reinvigorated The Entire Heavyweight Division

Domestic Cricket Daily: Aotearoa 'A' One-Day Squad
This whole concept of playing regular Aotearoa 'A' cricket may be new for us, let alone two series in the space of a few months. There's one more four-dayer in the series vs India A and then we move into a one-day series, which means we've got another Aotearoa A squad to suss out.
Domestic Cricket Daily: The Jimmy Neesham Show
Wellington Firebirds have booked their place in the Ford Trophy final vs Otago Volt, thanks mainly to Ollie Newton's 5 wickets and then Jimmy Neesham's big ol' century.

Domestic Cricket Daily: Mitchell Santner's Quest To Command Blackcaps Selection
How about that Test win by the Blackcaps on foreign soil? Pretty mean aye, led by that lefty spinner on Test debut Ajaz Patel ... wait on, where was Mitchell Santner? T
