@ACScricket One of the key reasons TV umpires now call no balls was after he was bowled by Doug Bracewell off an incorrectly called no ball..

@ajarrodkimber Fleming the captain had (at one point) Cairns, Oram, McCullum and Vettori at 6 through 9. There was many a green top where the top order perished and the group dug us out of a hole.

@ACScricket 9th fastest ODI ton, but not even the fastest ODI ton of that innings.

[Graham Mann @Greevis]

@ajarrodkimber NZ has had a wicket keeper at 6 prtty much since McCullum was at 8 (with Cairns and Oram ahead of him).

[Graham Mann @Greevis]

@benjonescricket @jamesc_422 But it very clearly doesn't, though. How many 5 test series did New Zealand play as WTC champions? Or SA in the same position? Major series means Auatralia and India for England. Even if either of those teams ended up slipping down the test rankings to 8th or 9th.

[Graham Mann @Greevis]

@benjonescricket Can New Zealand still win this test on a boundary breach countback?

[Graham Mann @Greevis]

@benjonescricket I'm just surprised they didn't ask the decision to be referred.

[Graham Mann @Greevis]

@_hypocaust I like the defending champs to top the group. I think the top order will have benefited from time spent in England and conditions in June should be better for them than they were in May.

@samuelsmith1988 Auckland needs a cricket ground. It currently, demonstrably, does not have one.

[Graham Mann @Greevis]

@benjonescricket Yup, our test bowling talent has been constantly refreshed over the last few seasons with awesome long term prospects gaining experience. Our test batting could fall of a cliff when the dominoes start to fall.

@danbrettig @Cricket_Ali Surely the answer is a single Super Cricket tournament with teams based on existing teams in SA, Aus and NZ. One comp means less demand for "overseas" players, making all players affordable for all 3 countries teams.

[Graham Mann @Greevis]

@PaulDennett_ I think the WTC is the pinacle; it's literally played over 2 years! I know Aus, Eng and Ind have series between them that they might consider bigger than the WTC, but this is the one Test Trophy all test nations can aspire too and as such should be rated thr highest.

@cricketingview above par score and likewise dependent on Mitchell Santner to keep opposition under par.

[Graham Mann @Greevis]

@cricketingview I see you've ordered the chats by end scored and runs conceded, but pegasus the best measure for ordering by merit would be raar per innings for batters raar per spell for bowlers? I feel that a key taker away here is that NZ is very dependent on Finn Allen to get NZ to an

@grahamkmann Hi Graham, if you're in Christchurch it would be lovely to meet up for a coffee

[Graham Mann @Greevis]

@shortflyslip It's not like the ICC has has ever been caught out using slapdash tie-breaker rules in the past, is it?

[Graham Mann @Greevis]

@ACScricket ODIs that should have had more than one Super Over:

England v New Zealand (World Cup Final 2019)

[Graham Mann @Greevis]

@choopsycorn @PaulDennett_ They changed the rules shortly after that WC Final. Still hurts though.

[Graham Mann @Greevis]

@Vitu_E Surely as an English man you are lamenting the days of the boundary countback...

[Graham Mann @Greevis]

@michelappleton Better this than a boundary countback though.
