*Official* New Zealand Domestic Cricket Season 2012/2013

[Howsie]

I don't get the Cachopa love at all. Up until seven games ago he was just another domestic journeyman, now he's a must pick for New Zealand. He needs to do it for much longer IMO, much the same as Munro. Then send them away on that 'A' tour over the winter and see what happens from there. All this "You need to pick him while he's in form" bull**** is stupid, it's a hanful of games ffs, it might just be an anomaly.

Don't get me wrong what he's done over the last seven games is outstanding, but it's only seven games.

It's because Chops is the one kid we've seen at a really bad inner-city school who's actually trying, effectively. By all rights he should be compulsively hooking by now, but instead he keeps taking the hits in games that <100 people care about, placing the sort of value on his wicket we like to see.

Probably what we're hoping for ultimately is a 'more fluent and shotty Richardson or Bryan Young' who'll get us back to fighting for a 60(160) pretty regularly. The sort of guy who does the sound check and sets the props, who'll see an angry and restless crowd and surprise them by lacing a few of his own acoustic covers through the covers.

Looks like Siddons has requested Tugaga leave Lincoln for Rangiora.

39/2 | AUCKLAND A vs WELLINGTON A

Devcich 92* sees wholesale changes in fact.

Wellington Cricket- Firebirds in Rangiora on Sunday for HRV Cup clash

In four changes to the Hell Firebirds’ team that met the Northern Knights on New Year’s Day, Josh Brodie, Ben Orton, Tipene Friday and Malaesaili Tugaga come into the squad. They replace Michael Pollard, Scott Kuggeleijn, Dane Hutchinson and Dimitri Mascaranhas. Mascaranhas has been recalled to Melbourne to play for his Big Bash team.

Rigor's five future Black Cap players to watch ftr:

Chops
Ronchi
Duffy ("if he can gain 5kph of pace...".)
Kuggs ("clever cricketer...off-cutter, back of the hand, he's got it all")
Vincent

I swear Rigor pays no attention to cricket other than the games on tv. Kugs dropped to Wellington A today. Nice to see Walsh getting an chance and getting runs, he looked the goods when I saw him in the U/19s. Ili and Friday into the Firebirds squad is mean, shame it's not on TV because they both are good talents!

Heads up. Otago v CD is on tv today. At 2pm.

"Nursing a broken", lol, love your work Anendra. Still a better source for team news than the Stags themselves.

CD Stags look to upset the cart | Hawke's Bay Today

CD's injury woes continued with unwanted Black Caps wicketkeeper Kruger van Wyk jetting back home from Nelson in the hope of nursing a broken, picked up in an earlier round, to be fit for the shield campaign.

Ex-Wellington seamer Andrew Lamb, setting the pace at the New Zealand Provincial A Tournament in Christchurch this week, has been called in but is likely to be the 12th man.

First-class opening batsman Jeet Raval may make his T20 debut to add some batting depth and offer another spin option with Ben Smith slipping on the wicketkeeping gloves ahead of veteran Mathew Sinclair.

Oxford super genius, hey that's unfair.

We might be genius in the outfield but inside the ring we've left a bit to be desired in the past few seasons.

A pair of five-fors in consecutive days as the sixth and seventh bowling option...sharp work. Might have his action called into question sooner or later. But far too nice a guy for it to stick.

Just seen our team sheet. Nethula at six? WTF. I heard Young has an injury but surely we took another reserve batsman down?

There's gotta be something more to this surely if Nethula is listed at six. Has he decided to do a reverse Tastle?

Why does KNB bowl in any form of organised cricket, seriously.
