Australia declared setting New Zealand 468 to win. They are currently 154-6, looks like they will take it into the final day but can't see it ending up than anything but a big Aussie win.


154-7 now Watling out.

India had a bad start against the Windies in their ODI. Rohit, Rahul and Kohli fell early but Pant and Iyer brought them up to 210ish. Likely to make 275+ now.

Mark Boucher has been appointed as the new South African head coach ahead of the series against England. Graeme Smith was announced as the new acting director of cricket during the week.


Lots of changes for SA. Boucher wants to bring van der Dussen to the Test side, wants de Villiers back and wants to be allowed to select Kolpak players.

They have lost some amount of quality players over the last few years, they have to try something drastic tbh.

NZ lost their last 5 wickets for 17 runs, and at one point lost 3 for no runs, they ended up all out for 171, Australia winning by 296 runs.

What are the rules and regs to do with kolpak players?


Think SA, Zimbabwe and West Indies (depending on which island they’re from) can be considered local players in England due to the EU Association agreement. I’m guessing due to Brexit, Kolpak players will no longer be allowed.

Kolpak players cannot play for their country for the duration of their Kolpak deal, although they can play for South Africa afterwards (see Jacques Rudolph & Faf du Plessis). I’m not sure whether this is enforced by counties or by South Africa. If it’s by South Africa, they’d be stupid to continue with this although Brexit will put and end to it regardless.

Nasser’s statement about a Kolpak team beating a current SA team was pretty misinformed bullshit though. The team below is decent but it wouldn’t come close to beating South Africa.

Congrats to Ben Stocks on his SPOTY win.
 
Looks like Hazlewood and Ferguson out of the Aus-NZ series.
 
Virat Kohli is beyond seething at the Jadeja run out which is always nice.
He's quite right to be miffed tbh. Although it was the right decision, the umpires only went for a review after the replay had been shown on the big screen after already deciding it was not out.

Fortunate the Heat’s season started today as it was 41 in Brisvegas yesterday. Why the f**k they’ve scheduled an afternoon game for Friday in Alice Springs is scandalous. The pitch is utter shite. Also the silly c***s have the Strikers playing 3 afternoon games, total and utter shite.
