Auckland, Aug 19 (Ians) Former New Zealand wicketkeeper-batter Ian Smith believes pace-bowling stalwart Trent Boult’s recent announcement to release himself from the Black Caps’ contract signals the end of his Test career, and added that it would be a big loss for the country’s cricket.
Boult’s request to release him from the central contract so that he could spend more time with his family and be available to play in domestic leagues around the world, was recently accepted by New Zealand Cricket (Nzc).
The 65-year-old Smith, a veteran of 63 Tests and 98 ODIs, added that the pace bowling pair of Boult and Tim Southee is the “the best combination” the country has ever seen in Test cricket.
“I think it (release from central contract) probably means the end of his Test career, I honestly do,” Smith said on Senz’s The Run Home. “That’s a shame because Southee...

Antigua, June 11 (Ians) Former West Indies fast bowler Curtly Ambrose has come out in defence of India cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar, who recently said that he has a "few problems" when people call off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin "one of the all-time greats of the game".
"We all have our different opinions. We all look at greatness in different ways. Sanjay Manjrekar was a wonderful cricketer in his time. He has his opinion of that; we all have our views. But, how do you define greatness? That is a good question," Ambrose said on The Curtly and Karishma Show on YouTube.
"Because sometimes, to be quite fair, we use the word greatness loosely. So, we have to be careful with how we define greatness. According to me, greatness is when a player can be very consistent over a period of time, for years, not one or two years," said the West Indian great,...
