*Official* New Zealand Domestic Cricket Season 2012/2013

[Wright]

Or D, doesn't have flash nickname like "big show" or ginger ninja, or

He was a bargain at 100,000 i reckon, considering Maxwell went for a million and guptills probably a better bowler! Has he snubbed the IPL in the past?

Ground delay at Hagley Oval, but when it does get underway it should be interesting. CD have named Nethula 12 th man, and have pace attack of Milne, Wheeler, Bracewell, Mathieson.

While Henry and Bennett in Canterbury side.

Batsmen on both sides hoping the covers are good ......

Just missing Bevan Small now. Looks like Dan the man is back.

 

[Neil Young]

What's happened to Jesse?

 

[Mike5181]

Must be injured.

It's weird seeing CD without Sinclair.

Can't believe you're not counting 'Marty two-toes' as a flash nickname. If that doesn't bring in the casual Indian spectator I don't know what will.

 

[Neil Young]

He's down to bat, unless the scorecard is wrong.

Yeah that's a dream bowling attack. Not sure whether Small injured again or just left out in favour of Mathieson (who had better figures from the last match).

 

[Bahnz]

Must be injured.

Or Wellington realises that he's so incapable of playing a proper innings right now, that they're saving him for the last 20 overs.

 

[Immenso]

Although, tbh. Mathieson ahead of Nethula doesn't really make much sense, regardless of the pitch. Especially when 5 th bowling options Cachopa and Noema-Barnett provide handy seam-up.

Nethula is a very good domestic LO bowler

 

[Kippax]

Toothache for Ryder apparently. Pitch got too green under the covers for Sodhi. Franklin gifted a kiddie's boundary for his lofts from the western edge of the block, Vettori 1/67.

 

[straw man]

Toothache for Ryder apparently.

Some of those pies must have been harder than he realised

 

[Wright]

Probably opening beer bottles with his teeth.

 

[Immenso]

Assume Wheeler broke down mid over.

Looks like it was difficult early at Hagley Oval, then much easier. Omission of Nethula not such a good idea, Mathieson 0 for 73

 

[Kippax]

Mathieson bowling short filth to Ellis. Milne could've had a full ten under 40 if you hadn't used him at the death. Wheeler leaves mid-spell injured. How is going to get out to the left-arm of McCone.

C'mon ****s, you could give Wgtn a double life here if you knuckle down. Try to avert the cliches.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Good to see Neesham in the wickets yet again, from the little i have seen of him he seems to be developing into a very handly LO bowler.

 

[Bahnz]

Gillespie doing alright. The Ford Trophy table is going to be an absolute jumble at the end of this round.

 

[Days of Grace]

LOL at Gillespie telling me to go **** myself after I said he was finished in the England tour thread.

Such a shame he had to bowl 20 or so no balls during that warm up game, otherwise he would probably be in the squad right now ahead of butler

 

[Jezroy]

Pretty sure he used to read this forum. Keep baiting him. See what he does next game.

Commentators today saying he bowls a deceptively heavy ball and get's more bounce than one might expect.
