>Richardson, who played 38 tests for the Black Caps, admits he does find cricket hard to support due to its current state. “I’ll always support New Zealand in test cricket but there’s not enough of it,” Richardson said.

>“If we put our best team on the park right now, we would be a wonderful test side, but it just doesn’t happen. I can understand why it doesn’t happen. I’m not bitter about why it doesn’t happen, it’s just how it is now. It’s just lost a bit of identity.”

>While Richardson accepts that’s the reality now, he admits it is harder for him as a fan to emotionally invest.

on my lunch break and studying geopolitical realities re iran and the ability to resupply and trade with russia via the caspian sea on which the us does not have a single client state and cannot impede naval commerce across
the inescapable conclusion: iran must be allowed to play test cricket immediately

day 52463: test cricket is still like snow in a desert

sometimes I like to think about the good old days

not sure if zoomers are into test cricket at all. only one at toil seems to care. although how could they be when there's no fucking test cricket on anymore

thinking about my ute

I don't remember the exact generation separation dates off the top of my head, but were any zoomers even alive when the last test match was played?

and none of them like t20 which is on. they get given slop while caviar is withheld and leave the sport, then cricket australia thinks doubling down on the slop factor is how you get the interest back.

it seems so insane to me. cricket has never been less popular in its traditional (i.e. pre south asia) heartlands and its decline is directly correlated with the proliferation of t20 memebash in place of test cricket, but its allegedly test cricket being antiquated that is the problem.

although every man itt already knows this I'm preaching to the choir basically

speaking of (certain) men itt, I still think it's crazy how zachy just left one day and never came back
hope he's ok

Azerbaijan is not under russian control but influence. It has no military treaties with Russia. It has beneficial gas arrangements with russia and buys russian military hardware. I'm assuming both Russia and the U.S. would be leaning on it hard right now because if Iran were to fall it would act as a buffer country between the u.s. controlled iran and russia. It could turn into a ukraine situation. Turkmenistan is I believe under russian influence and where russia is supplying Iran's military leadership with intelligence over the border to where they're holed up in mashhad in the mountain bunker's.

The caspian is probably more food, medical aid to tehran. Where as through turkmenistan is intelligence maybe hardware.

>tldr Azerbaijan is the weak link that could be exploited by the u.s. to gain influence in the caspian.

>>154443407
azerbaijan would go the way of georgia if it made a pro us pivot. cannot see it happening. with the stans, there isn't a world where they oppose iran because thag means simultaneously opposing russia and china, and they actively benefit from chinese magnetism over global supply chains, including any role as a conduit between iran and china. they basically are a part of the world entirely isolated from the us global hegemony

Thought we agreed to not make a new?

the iran war has also probably killed the concept of a us vassal too. the military bases getting obliterated and gulf states' economies shutting down

I thought putting numbers on the back of test whites and launching the hundred was meant to get zoomers into cricket though?

crisp brand logos too

Might do some cricket discussion itt

might not

>>154445466
damn you must have a decent degree then
I dropped out of uni early on so my debt was minimal and I paid it off by the time I was 26

nah just went to a private uni for $20k a semester. my degree took me up to the hecs cap and then the interest exceeded my annual repayments for my first five years on the job lol
