Calling all omegaverse fans!

I need help with some NZ omegas. I don’t know the squad too well so any help would be much appreciated 🫶

I’m flirting with Tim Southee or Tom Latham? Do either of those (or both) work as omega?

Also need another Aus omega from early 2010 - does James Faulkner work for that?

Much appreciated!

New Zealand great Southee bows out after 'incredible journey'

Southee’s 391 wickets second only to Richard Hadlee in New Zealand Test cricket history books New Zealand’s Tim Southee gestures to the crowd as he leaves the field in his final Test after victory against England at Seddon Park in Hamilton, New Zealand, on December 17, 2024. —AFP HAMILTON: Tim Southee said he would never forget his “incredible journey” after the New Zealand great confirmed…

[trendingnews19]

"It's a nice way to, I guess, fade off after what has been an incredible journey," Tim Southee said in the indoor nets at Seddon Park.New Zealand had just claimed a hearty win against England, the margin of 423 runs equalling their largest in history. It might have only been a consolation, with England taking the series 2-1, but it allowed one of their favourite sons to walk off just after 2pm in glory, while the Hamilton sun shone brightest.The Southee farewell tour is over, even if the encore continued long after he led New Zealand off the field for the final time. After 776 international wickets (the most for New Zealand) in 394 matches, and that inaugural World Test Championship, the Test cap, sun-blanched after 16 years of work, was given a final raise to all four corners. He admitted he does not know where it will go now that he's done, but its representation of a childhood dream come to life has earned itself a special place in the Southee household.The 36-year-old was still out on the field at 6pm on Tuesday, this match - his 107th Test - already in the record books. His two wickets in the second innings made it six in the series, albeit at a weighty average of 54.33.The career-figure finishes a shade over 30. The Test sixes an enticing 98, having failed to reach 100 on Monday when he found Zak Crawley at long on seeking No.99. The numbers, however, are not the whole story."Hundred sixes, 400 Test wickets, 100 catches (he managed 86) - that would have all been nice," said Southee. "But I'm just very grateful for what I've been able to do."The time I've had in the hat has been very special. As a kid, I just wanted to grow up and represent New Zealand. To sit here and have nearly 800 wickets is pretty satisfying."Such clarity only comes with being at peace with calling time, which he had by the time the official announcement came a month ago. The hardest part, he ceded, was telling those closest to him. For Southee, it has always been about the people.At 5:35 pm, England head coach Brendon McCullum, a former New Zealand team-mate for 170 internationals, and Southee's captain for 78 of them, presented his close mate with a bottle of red wine signed by the England team.In a tribute video put out by New Zealand Cricket, McCullum's compliments of Southee range from lauding his skills to championing "a tough bugger". But their kinship was forged on a shared ethos of a cricketer's duty to their country."We talked a lot about trying to leave the cap in a better place than you found it," said McCullum. "I know for a fact when Tim walks off at Seddon Park, he'll walk off and he'll be satisfied, but also the country will be very grateful for his contribution over a long period of time."Tim Southee finished as New Zealand's highest wicket-taker in international cricket•Getty ImagesHours earlier, one of the men responsible for entrusting Southee with that cap led the finale of this eras tour.Richard Hadlee, the only New Zealander ahead of Southee on the Test wickets front with 431, was part of the selection panel that took a chance on a promising 19-year-old back in 2008. That debut against England in Napier has morphed into the kind of career even the great man could not envisage, even though he saw great potential. "Seventeen years later, Tim has certainly delivered beyond expectations," said Hadlee."There's a lot more to Tim than just numbers and records. It's very much the human factor that is not often measured. He is highly respected by cricketers all around the world. He's a likeable character, a team man, a team player."Southee was moved by the "special" tribute from someone he (and countless others) regards as the "greatest ever Black Cap"."He was there from the start. He was a selector who selected me at 19. So to hear him here and say those kind words was very very pleasing. It's nice to hear coming from such a great of the game."The sentiment of taking the team to a better place and encouraging younger players as a veritable legend were features of this final good bye. The future is already here, having benefitted by Southee's guiding hand.Will O'Rourke's devasting spells across both innings of this third Test were further nods to the 23-year-old's outstanding talents. Nathan Smith's emergence in the first two Tests as a whole-hearted cricketer unafraid of the grind. Both, along with Ben Sears and Jacob Duffy, have made Southee's decision a little easier. The red ball will remain in capable hands."I think Nathan Smith has shown what he is capable of. I think Will O'Rourke is an unbelievable talent and he's only getting better in his time in this team. He's only been around for 12 months and I look forward to watching him take on the world."I really enjoyed my time working with these younger guys, younger bowlers. Hopefully they've taken something out of it. I enjoy giving back."This, by the sounds of it, might be a full international retirement. While the initial announcements kept open white ball availability, Southee deferred to this next generation when asked about his immediate future. Franchise opportunities remain on the table."It's time now for these young guys. I think we've seen a number come through in the last couple of years, and I'm excited to sit back and watch them continue to take this team forward and enjoy what they've got to offer."Perhaps that is how it should be. Cricket retirements are rarely straightforward and can drag when split between formats. Though this last year has statistically been his toughest - 17 wickets at 59.11 - this is a neat finish. At home, against the team where this journey began. Above all else, Southee is content."This game has given me so much, it's given me everything. It's been over half my life playing for this team and ever since I can remember it has been a dream in my life to do that."It's exciting. It's sad. It's an array of emotions you go through. But life moves on. I've been very fortunate to have done what I've done and I've enjoyed every second of it."Vithushan Ehantharajah is an associate editor at ESPNcricinfo

England fall to 423-run defeat as New Zealand wrap up consolation win as expected | New Zealand v England 2024

It was a consolation win in terms of the series scoreline but a huge one all the same, New Zealand wrapping up the third Test against England by a margin of 423 on the fourth afternoon to send Tim Southee into retirement with a smile. The coup de grâce arrived at 2.15pm, when Mitch Santner finished off a fine finish to Brydon Carse’s return to the side. Ben Stokes, due to his hamstring injury for…

England's year ended with a thumping defeat by New Zealand, who sent seamer Tim Southee into retirement with a consolation victory in the third and final Test.Set a fanciful 658, England were hustled out for 234 midway through the fourth afternoon to lose by 423 runs, their largest defeat by the Black Caps and fourth-largest by anyone.Jacob Bethell further enhanced his growing reputation with 76, coming through an electrifying spell by New Zealand pace bowler Will O'Rourke.Bethell added 104 with Joe Root, who made 54. When Root was out, Brook perished to O'Rourke for one and wickets fell with regularity in Hamilton.The nadir was vice-captain Ollie Pope being bowled for 17 attempting a reverse scoop at Matt Henry.Captain Ben Stokes, who suffered a recurrence of a left-hamstring injury on day three, did not bat. He had been expected to have a scan prior to the fourth day but will instead be assessed in the coming days.England's final demise, with their last four wickets falling for 19 runs, meant Southee was not required to bowl after lunch.He instead led his team from the field, the 36-year-old ending a 16-year, 107-Test career with 391 wickets.England still win the series 2-1. They embark on a white-ball programme after Christmas before the Test summer begins against Zimbabwe in May. 2024-12-17 01:43:05 https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/branded_sport/1200/cpsprodpb/f2d1/live/5efdda30-bc13-11ef-a2ca-e99d0c9a24e3.jpg

For the New Zealand Test team, the past 12 months have been nothing short of a wild trip. Before the three Test matches in India, they had only won one of four series, against a weak South African team. The problems were made worse by Tim Southee resigning as captain following the 2-0 series loss in Sri Lanka. Nobody had given them a chance, either. All went well for New Zealand during the series, as they won crucial moments in all three games after bowling out India for 46 on the opening morning of play in Bengaluru. They accomplished the unimaginable by defeating India 3-0 in a series in India when they had nothing to lose. An accomplishment never before accomplished by a touring team on Indian soil, rendered the more significant by Kane Williamson's exclusion from the series.

With a spot in the World Test Championship final still up for grabs, if other outcomes go their way, New Zealand suddenly has everything on the line once more. If they do not make it to the final at Lord's, this will also be the final Test series for former captain and fast bowler Tim Southee, and the hosts will try to give him a spectacular send-off.

In contrast, England enters this series hoping to recover from their October 2-1 series loss to Pakistan under circumstances they would describe as extremely unfamiliar. On both of their subcontinental trips this year, their strategy of remaining aggressive even in challenging situations with "Bazball" has failed them, as wickets have fallen in clusters even when one batsman got his eye in.

The two-day warm-up game before the series demonstrated the same thing. None of the other batters were able to turn their starts into significant totals, with the exception of Ben Stokes, Joe Root, and Zak Crawley, who each reached a half-century. Tim Southee's Test debut coincided with England's most recent series victory in New Zealand, which came under Michael Vaughan in 2008. After 16 long years, the visitors will feel much more at home on New Zealand's faster courses and try to change the course of history.

When: November 28 to December 2, 2024; 11:00am Local Time | 10pm GMT (Nov 27) | 3:30am IST

Where: Hagley Oval, Christchurch

What to expect: Most days in Christchurch should be gloomy, but there should not be any rain that would stop play. Hagley Oval has historically favored bowlers on the first day, but as four of the top five chases in New Zealand have taken place here, including two in the past two years, it gradually becomes easier to bat on.

Team news

New Zealand: All-rounder Nathan Smith will make his Test debut, while Kane Williamson will take Will Young's spot as Player of the Series in India, according to a news conference held by Tom Latham prior to the match.

Devon Conway, Tom Latham (C), Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Blundell (WK), Nathan Smith, Tim Southee, Matt Henry, and Will O'Rourke are the likely starting lineup.

England: Two days prior to the game, the visitors revealed their starting lineup. Ollie Pope will take over after Jamie Smith is unable to play due to an injury sustained during practice, which prevented Jordan Cox from making his debut. Jacob Bethell, a batting all-rounder, will bat at the third position in his Test debut.

Ben Duckett, Jacob Bethell, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ollie Pope (wk), Ben Stokes (C), Chris Woakes, Gus Atkinson, Brydon Carse, Shoaib Bashir, and Zak Crawley are the confirmed starting lineup.

What they said:

"I followed up after Steady (Gary Stead) spoke with Young regarding it. As previously stated, he is an excellent team player and did nothing improper. Although it was a difficult choice, Tom Latham said, "I suppose that when you are in a position to make difficult decisions, it shows your team is in a good spot, so yeah, obviously heartbroken for Young but thrilled with Kane coming back."
