Only just realised we have these women's and men's matches back to back v South Africa. Got to give some credit for that to NZC @BLACKCAPS @WHITE_FERNS

Now Matt Henry changed for Duffy after just one over. He's keeps keeping everyone guessing!
GP on in the power play now. Mitch Santner isn't afraid to keep trying things, even in a final - good to see

Three wickets and just one run in that Neesham over. The hero we needed all along? Surely this doesn't mean batting's getting harder

Batting suddenly looks much harder

Quite incredible to fly fairly close to Ambae last week - my pics don't do it justice but the streaks of ash across the sky were really something, and I think the same pilot got some of these pics on his (solo) journey back to Port Vila rnz.co.nz/international/paci…

Somehow it just keeps going!

Waseem batting through that innings but facing just 45 balls says something about his innings management, no? #WT2026

I mean, Finn Allen has faced more balls than him by like the 13th over

A fascinating thread, as always. On a related note, we watched Lee Tamahori's The Convert yesterday and were struck that we had previously seen so little depiction of pre-treaty NZ on screen. Would be interested to hear what @SikotiHamiltonR thought of it!
1/5 National Party pollster David Farrar has argued on his blog that February the 6th should be considered NZ's Emancipation Day, because the Treaty of Waitangi s'posedly brought British civilisation & the end of slavery to NZ. I wonder what this man would make of that claim.

History has shown that prosperity and security is served by respect for the international rule of law, not retreat from it. Read NZ’s statement to the UN Security Council on 26 January here➡️ bit.ly/49T49ig

All those #ashes previews, and not one of them suggested we'd be into into the fourth innings before the sixth session
