    https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/sport/2023/07/cricket-former-australia-captain-world-cup-winner-allan-border-reveals-parkinson-s-diagnosis.html Just saw this in NZ media - one of my favourite cricketers as a kid, his battles with Hadlee, the West Indians, epic - made everything from his talent...

    NZ tour to Australia 'postponed'

    https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/sport/2022/01/cricket-blackcaps-tour-to-australia-officially-postponed.html Disappointing, as I've posted elsewhere our Govt approach means Kiwis simply can't travel unless they are inordinately privileged... this tour and the U19s a symptom, but many families...

    RIP Alan Davidson

    https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/59101079 Two huge losses for Australian cricket. I see a separate Thread on Mallett I always felt that Davidson was the most underrated of the greatest cricketers, he was among the very best to ever play the game. Giant of the game, RIP champion

    https://i.stuff.co.nz/sport/league/122755411/kiwis-rugby-league-star-mark-broadhurst-reveals-battle-with-alzheimers Hard hard man from my limited recollection as a kid. Underrated, but I think still fondly remembered at Manly Sad to read, but he said he wouldn’t change a thing...

    Tino Fa'asuamaleaui

    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12250502 Saw his 27 minutes, looks a real talent... But to be blunt he'd be foolish prior to establishing himself to leave that system for money, for a system that has shown a complete inability to develop it's own young...

    Ireland's first ever test v Pakistan Dublin, May 11-15 2018

    Warrants a thread, for historical purposes http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/18025/scorecard/1127284/ireland-vs-pakistan-only-test-pakistan-tour-of-ireland-2018 In a way a shame it's come so late, most of Ireland's best are in the veteran category, but great to see them putting up a fight -...
