Re: Will Kyle Jamieson become the world's best all-rounder?
Southee was supposed to be the next great all rounder to replace Hadlee. Hasn't really worked out on the batting front aside from his debut in Napier. I think NZ cricket gave hi tacit licence to disrespect his wicket I remember very early on southee was playing and one of the commentators mentioned...

Re: What is next for the GOP?
The fact that deep south Georgia just voted for Joe Biden and elected two progressive Democrat Senators suggests that America is not as right wing and radically conservative as some commentators would have us believe.

Re: Kane Williamson is a selfish prick
Somebody educate me and tell me who NZ's current best spin bowlers are. I've been away from the game for too long. If you can bowl spin you’d be top three or four. Ajaz Patel would have been in the squad if fit. Santner is Santner - more left arm slow than spin. Sodhi seems to be going down the T20...

Re: Kane Williamson is a selfish prick
As good as Williamson has been. Pakistan have given up 60 extras and given up what 8 chances if you include the no ball wicket?
If they'd taken their chances you'd expect the game would be pretty much level pegging or Pakistan ahead after the first innings

Lets judge all the pitches of the NZ summer because two in batsmen decide to kick up the scoring rate in the third session prior to the new ball and the bowling attack loses all shape as a result.
