Coming to this a bit late so just this from me as quoted in Cricinfo:

“There's a number of great competitions on during that time, but SA20 looks really exciting," Williamson told reporters on his return to New Zealand after the T20 World Cup. "Unfortunately, it meant turning down a central contract, however my priority still is, absolutely, playing for New Zealand. Think I miss maybe a handful of games over a three-week period.

Is it just me or is “ahem bullsh*t!” a valid response to this?

Thanks for the details about the NZC list Dylan. I hope they use their assets wisely - eg play Ravindra as much as possible.

I was about to write that I look forward to things being said once the women’s tour finishes shortly, but that’s not accurate. The only way is up from here I think. And it’s a shame Bates’s 10,000th international run came up in such a disappointing set of circumstances.

Off now to watch more of the Tour de France. V much enjoyed it this year, for some reason.

About AI. What most people don't realise is AI looks at what exists and repackages it as a 'new' concept, which Dylan I'm sure you have already worked out. It (AI) isn't capable of any future-focused analysis as it's not cognisant, or sentient. The human construct is far more predictive than AI, and is forward looking rather than an amalgamation of what has been. AI is a great tool to gather information. And anyway, a roll of the dice is waaay more interesting than a statistical, probable outcome.
