Curtley, I remembered they had a fairly OK to good team at the FIBA World Cup in 2009.

They had one really good scorer - Alexandr Tyutyunik - haven't heard of him since.

Suspect their domestic league simply isn't a strong ground for developing players and/or they just don't have the pool of players.

MACDUB i agree, but theres developing japan at rugby and developing Kazakhstan at basketball. I would think having China as being competitive in basketball would come way before Borat's men.

I don't like these games as much as the next person - and the sheer travel schedule is quite stupid - and why they have to spread out the games so much. NZ (and Australia) just traveled a helluva long way to play 2 games.

BUT, and it's a massive but, we have to start somewhere to grow these games. What happens now will pay dividends for global basketball down the track.

I always allude to the Japan rugby example. Japan lose 145-17 to NZ in 1995, together with some heavy beatings in 2000's and ever since then they closed the gap against the rest and then beat the Springboks (then probably the 2nd best team in the world) in 2015.

If these games result in more international competition in 10-15 years time then I'm all for it.

Heal is in with the Cadee family.

How has he not been sacked for being so unprofessional is beyond me. Always pumping up Jason in Kings games. Has the nerve to mention B Joyce's name for next coach of Melb Utd too on a broadcast. Shocking commentator.

Goulding plus 36, McCarron pus 32. Goulding always so underrated by poor judges. Also what’s between Heal and Cadee, talks him up like worlds best player, setting him up the Olympic team perhaps.

Australia def. Kazakhstan 94-41. No point playing these games. Should be automatic qualification for Au.

Oh I see he rejoined the team after a year out.

Why did he change his surname? This guy is like a mystery man.

Anatoly Bose (Kolesnikov) is not currently part of the Kazakhstani squad.

Brandt's ankle looked bad.
