Mitchell Santner is poised to become the 41st New Zealand Test Cricket Captain, including the nine women to have captained the White Ferns in Tests, and the 32nd Black Caps Test captain, as the team returns to Test cricket tonight in Bulawayo.

From 70 for 5 in 9.3 overs, Tim Robinson and Bevon Jacobs take New Zealand to 173.

A match-winning total? bit.ly/TriSeries202... #NZvSA

“Gee, Robinson and Jacobs are going to be serious players for New Zealand in the future,” I find myself thinking about batters who just scored 75* and 44* in international cricket for us right now.

Love to see them running three at the end there. Never understood why teams don’t just keep running til they’re runout, it’s the last ball, it doesn’t matter.

Tim Robinson, go you good thing!

Tim Seifert has been an absolute menace recently, scoring another breezy 22(16) today. This year in T20Is, only Abhishek Sharma and Turkey’s Muhammad Fahad strike faster (min. 200 runs).

Bevon Jacobs to debut, NZ batting first, & the first match of the Walter era, I’m excited!

Also, please tell me I’m not the only one who thinks of Tim Robinson from I Think You Should Leave whenever I see Tim Robinson, the cricketer, playing for New Zealand?

Does anybody know of a way to (ideally legally) watch the South Africa vs New Zealand T20 series in Australia tonight? Current plans involve ThreeNow and three little letters starting with V, is there a better way?

Tonight, as they kick off their tri-series against Zimbabwe and South Africa, the Black Caps will play a game of cricket in Africa for the first time in 3,263 days.

Safe to say it has been a long, thirsty wait between drinks.

It’s a sad thought, but is that the last time we’ll see Australia play Test cricket in the Caribbean? You couldn’t rule it out.

For god’s sake, West Indies. You couldn’t have scored two fewer runs and taken this unsavoury record from us?

Well there’s my day ruined that I can’t watch both on two screens simultaneously, and, presumably, across the multiverse.

Said as a fan of New Zealand, everyone’s former second team, you’re surely everyone’s second team these days! All the best!

Aaaaand there goes the inevitable. If only there was any way to have foreseen that wicket.

WHILE ALSO OPENING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FIRST-CLASS CRICKET, I’ve subsequently learned. Who did Kelvon Anderson piss off?
