The Black Caps are advertising for a new white-ball coach after Gary Stead stepped away from the role he held for eight years. Stead is still to confirm whether he will remain as Test coach after his contract runs out in June. Sports reporter Felicity Reid spoke to Lisa Owen.

New Zealand Cricket is currently weighing up the pros and cons of having multiple Black Caps coaches.

Gary Stead is stepping down as Black Caps white ball coach, and New Zealand Cricket says it's stepping up its search for somebody to fill the role. Former Black Caps coach John Bracewell spoke to Corin Dann.

This week on the Niche Cast we chat through some basketball matters including the Canterbury Rams dominance in the NBL, kiwis moving around the Australian NBL and Yanni Wetzel's impressive performances overseas. We update the latest of Chris Wood as well as a few more New Zealand footballers overseas before discussing the state of Football Ferns. Auckland FC are still on top of the A-League ladder and we put the spotlight on Logan Rogerson as part of a big Auckland FC yarn, before sliding over to Wellington Phoenix who had a win last weekend. This leads to a bigger picture perspective about both Phoenix teams as they have a bunch of matters that need to be resolved heading into next season starting with their coaches. NZ Warriors had a bye this round in the NRL but we chat through a few leftover notes before rolling through a bunch of Kiwi-NRL things such as debuts for Moses Leo and Sean Mullany, Sebastian Kris' form and some deep cuts in the junior ranks. We finish with Brett Hampton's first game of County Championship, Blackcaps performances vs Pakistan and the 10 best young cricketers in New Zealand after the summer season.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/elnichecacheNewsletter: https://thenichecache.substack.comHook us up with a brew: https://buymeacoffee.com/thenichecacheSay kia ora: thenichecache@gmail.comwww.theniche-cache.com(00:00) Intro(11:45) Mindfulness(15:41) NBL(38:54) Flying Kiwis(45:49) Football Ferns(56:49) A-League(01:29:57) NRL(02:01:08) Blackcaps

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Baldy, Raj and Stu look back at week 2 of IPL 2025 through a stock market lens. Who are we buying? Who are we selling? And what are we watching with our fingers poised ready to pounce in the coming weeks? We start on a positive note with praise for the Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals for their performances this week, as well as a shout out to the mega auction player reshuffle that has led to an unpredictable start to the 2025 edition of this tournament. As we move through the episode we hit on a number of other topics: Can DC keep up their good form? What's happened to Travis Head and the Sunrisers Hyderabad batting lineup? Are the Chennai Super Kings confused? And is MS Dhoni part of the problem? Is the impact player rule leading to fewer competitive games? Will the return of Jasprit Bumrah change the fortunes of the Mumbai Indians? Why isn't the fielding better? Is it time to reinvest in pace bowlers? And much more!

As long as you want to, Gary. He's not gone yet, but it would appear that the end is nigh for Black Caps coach Gary Stead. His contract is due to expire shortly, which will possibly signal the end of a very successful tenure. No, the pinnacle titles haven't rolled in unabated, but the consistency of results at the very top, across all formats, are impressive. New Zealand's men's cricket first eleven has been in the top table conversation for his whole Black Caps coaching career. Sure, they've had some catastrophic results which have set the drums beating for his removal, but poor turnouts are to be expected in international cricket. Australia, India, and England are all capable of blowing a sandshoe sporadically, so it's not a damning indictment of Stead's stewardship when the team mount the sidewalk and collect 10 yards of picket fence and some shrubbery. To focus on the smudges during his command would be mealymouthed and small-minded. Gary has held this team together during the biggest upheaval in world cricket since Kerry Packer threw a sabretooth amongst the pigeons back in the 70's. The proliferation of T20 leagues and the money they offer has been a massive challenge for all boards, with NZ cricket, aided by a very fluent and pragmatic coach, navigating the choppy waters with aplomb. He has also achieved across all three formats and may well be the last coach to do so. To those who roll out the tired, predictable, and myopic line that his success is only due to him inheriting a great team built by Hesson and McCullum, I say this: Yes, he has had access to some of the greats who started under a different regime, but he has also been behind the launch of future greats and the continued development of the meat of the team. Did he hold on to Southee too long? Did he treat Neil Wagner as well as he should have? This is nitpicking to me. In the wider picture, the measured and calm Gary Stead has been behind some of the greatest times in New Zealand cricket history. Whatever he chooses to do, I'll be behind him %100, Top coach, top man, great New Zealander. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Black Caps have wrapped up their series against Pakistan with a game to spare, clinching the second match by 84 runs in Hamilton. An unbeaten 99 from Mitch Hay steered an erratic batting effort from the Black Caps, after they had been reduced to 132 for five. In reply, Pakistan were reduced to nine for three and then 72 for seven but provided some late-order resistance in being dismissed for 208 in the 42nd over. Hay was named player of the match but insists he wasn't gutted to miss out on a century. The final match of the series is on Saturday in Tauranga.
