The Monga-Kimber World Cup 2019 XI is here (already)

Three games to go, but these two already have an XI that could easily tackle slow pitches, highways, death overs, D/L, and a Space Jam alien team

08-Jul-2019•Sidharth Monga and Jarrod Kimber

The bat-first advantage at this World Cup

Of the last 20 games played in the tournament, 16 have been won by the team batting first and that trend might well continue in the semi-finals and final

Kane Williamson's is the hand that steadies New Zealand's ship

On paper he's in at No. 3, but he often pretty much ends up opening - and sticks around for ages, come juicy pitches or skilled bowling

Eternal scrappers New Zealand happy to fly under the radar

03-Jul-2019•George Dobell in Durham

New Zealand's No. 1 (and No. 2) problem

Between them, New Zealand's openers have scored only 299 runs in 16 innings. It is a problem that doesn't seem to be going away

03-Jul-2019•Sidharth Monga at Chester-le-Street

A team fashioned in Williamson's spirit - not McCullum's image

This time there's no charm offensive - the New Zealand team are just are who they are. And there's no one cuddlier at the World Cup.

02-Jul-2019•Andrew Fidel Fernando in Chester-le-Street

Do right-left pairs at the crease work? It's complicated

In theory it's good strategy, especially when spinners are on, but a look at the recent Australia-New Zealand game says there's more to it than meets the eye

02-Jul-2019•Jarrod Kimber

Here's a massively premature review of the 2019 World Cup

Because, you know, why not

01-Jul-2019•Andrew Fidel Fernando

Starc must blast his way past the little fort Williamson will build

The Australia paceman has 19 wickets so far, and the New Zealand captain 414 runs - they are the most important cogs in their teams' wheels

28-Jun-2019•Jarrod Kimber at Lord's

How extreme pace is making a mark at this World Cup

The likes of Ferguson, Wood, Archer and Starc are not exactly creating mayhem, but they are influencing games massively nevertheless by bowling over 145kph

26-Jun-2019•Sidharth Monga

Carlos Brathwaite, Ian Bishop, Jimmy Neesham and what gets remembered

It seemed impossible, but Carlos Brathwaite so nearly pulled it off. From both sides the skills on show were incredible

Colin de Grandhomme emerges as New Zealand's 'X-factor player'

The allrounder's gentle slow-mediums can be highly effective in the right conditions, and his power-hitting skills give New Zealand more cover with the bat

21-Jun-2019•Deivarayan Muthu

Are New Zealand the World Cup's best bowling attack?

They have the best average, the best strike rate and the best economy rate, in addition to the enormous depth in the squad with Tim Southee and Ish Sodhi on the bench

20-Jun-2019•Sidharth Monga

'Once you realise you'll survive without the game, you'll enjoy it for what it is'

Jimmy Neesham fell into a funk after a rack of injuries and missing out on the last World Cup, but he's back in love with cricket now
