My bad...Sherlock + Claydon

60 off the last 4 overs after a wicket off a no-ball, lolz

 

[Flem274*]

Lol Vincent. B00tal.

But who cares about the rest of the game, how did Astle bowl? Gutted I missed him.

Rob Nicol really should be a black cap after this world cup. His stats are pretty epic this year.

 

[Bahnz]

Great finish here. What happens if it's a tie? Do Canterbury win the comp by virtue of being the top qualifier?

 

[James]

Wow, that must have been some innings to watch from Vincent.

Vincent in with a chance of getting back into the Black Caps post World Cup would you say?

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Vincent in with a chance of getting back into the Black Caps post World Cup would you say?

I'd have either him or Nicol in there now ahead of How.

 

[_Ed_]

Nicol was pretty unlucky to miss out.

His 50-over stats this season have been handy, to say the least. From 9 matches:

648 runs @ 72.00 (2 centuries, 5 fifties)
15 wickets @ 23.00

Plunket shield starts up again today. **** why aren't Milne or Wheeler playing for Central? It's irritating that two such promising young quicks are getting so little game time this season. Gah.

Good to see Wellington have a half decent bowling attack for a change. What do people think of Mark Gillespie? If he gets back into form for Wellington, do you think he should be on the winter tour to Bangladesh ahead of some of the younger bowlers?

 

[Flem274*]

Would be reluctant to pick Gillespie again unless he absolutely kills it. Too inconsistent and too injury prone.

Wheeler and Milne not playing grinds my gears. Wheeler could be injured, but Milne is 12th man so he must be available.

I was never a big fan but I'd consider him for Tests if he could string some games together. He has a killer FC record, particularly in the last few seasons (whenever he's been on the park) and he adds a bit of pace and aggression the others lack. I'd prefer him to Bennett or McKay if he was fully fit; that's for sure. Bowls too many pies for one day cricket though IMO.

He was playing in the Hawke Cup on Sunday (where he took a 5fer), so it would've had to be a very recent injury.

 

[Prince EWS]

Talking to Ben atm, he says he's still not fit enough, said he should be back for the Canterbury game in a few weeks.

Injury the only reason he's not playing, thankfully.

 

[straw man]

Auckland in trouble at 134/5 as Jimmy Neesham strides to the crease. Score some runs Jimmeh.

Also, Timmy Mac doesn't seem to be playing for Auckland today.

 

[Chewie]

He's probably still injured.

 

[Mike5181]

Flynn on 92*

 

[straw man]

Hundred for Flynn and four fours in a row for Reece Young.

 

[Athlai]

Bugger off Jimmeh. Get him Jeets.

 

[Bahnz]

Good hundy for de Boorder. He's been a bit disappointing so far this season, so I hope this helps kick things off for him.

 

[straw man]

Bugger off Jimmeh. Get him Jeets.

Fifty for Jimmeh! Congrats to him. I guess it was only against the bowling of Jeets, but we shouldn't let that get in the way of the achievement
