Elliott will be getting some game time though, which would presumably push Ronchi down the order (shouldn't though).

Ronchi is unavailable Day 4:

Substitutes: GD Elliott replaces HKP Boam on Days 3 & 4. Boam replaces L Ronchi on Day 4. D H Fulton replaces TWM Latham on Day 4

That's a bloody mess. I really don't like allowing substitutes for First Class matches. Either you're available all match or not FFS.

GD Elliott replaces HKP Boam on Days 3 & 4.
Boam replaces L Ronchi on Day 4.

That's ridiculous.

Yeah not a fan. Boam starting, getting replaced and then replacing someone else a day later is just crazy.

Getting in close and popping it on a length won't work on this ground or in this scenario tbf. Actually really clever strategy from this pair, they've realised Auckland will chase anything and a red hot chance to crudely slog themselves into oblivion.

Partially due to a warm up 20:20 for England, isn't it? Yes, be accommodating to the touring team, but give priority to our First Class system FFS. Schedule the warm up more appropriately or select some chumps to play instead of Ronchi/Latham.

What a joke.

Ronchi's not too far away from his 4th century this season.

A Patel did it for them last match but not selected this game; instead they've retained Nethula who took 1/80 last match.

Jeet Raval to bowl CD to victory

It would be acceptable for a three-day warmup v England imo but for a T20 it's a little ridiculous.

[Athlai]

Ronchi gone for 95 but has probably* put Wellington well on top this game.

*still Wellington

[Bahnz]

And just like that Wellington collapse with just a 20 run lead.

Ex hillcrest student and plays for FTCC therefore is awesome imo

Craig Cachopa, 145 vs. Central Districts - YouTube

You know what, considering Craig's 21, Howsie wasn't just being Howsie. Best part is when he starts pounding his straight drive about 1:30 in, sending Small and Jarvis down the ground.
