This week in the Niche Cache we enter the Melie Kerr era. She was announced as White Ferns captain and we chat through Kerr's leadership ability, as well as previewing the HBJ Shield final between Wellington and Northern Districts. Then we check in with the Blackcaps at the T20 World Cup and how Rachin Ravindra's bowling has been better than his batting, plus a dip for Jacob Duffy. NZ Breakers missed the NBL finals but still have the glorious Ignite Cup to look forward to. NZ Warriors lost their NRL preseason game vs Sea Eagles and didn't show any funky additions to their mediocre attacking movements, while a bunch of Kiwi-NRL juniors caught the eye for Penrith Panthers as they build out their Aotearoa flavour. Then we finish with a stinky loss for Wellington Phoenix women and Aotearoa A-League derby prep for the men.
