***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2018/19

[nzfan]

In hindsight I'm not sure why the likes of Tom Blundell, William Young are in UAE. They are not getting any game time and would have been best playing domestic cricket rather than do bugger all at UAE. Would have helped the first class cricket now with lot of black caps pulled out of the mix from domestic sides.

Dane Cleaver obviously doesn’t rate Auckland opening bowlers.....

 

[Mike5181]

This Ludick guy seems like the real deal.

 

[brockley]

Where in S Africa did they get Ludick from?

Where in S Africa did they get Ludick from?

He was born in Pretoria, and came through the Northerns underage setup

How about Conway? He's looking better this year, bit more closed stance. He had a massive open stance last year which only allowed him to score square off the wicket. This year he looks even more solid with the near side on stance. Has played some good shots and shame Bracewell couldn't get a 100 on the board. He looked very good for 80+ runs barely played a bad shot. Nathan Smith should have had Conway but for a dolly of a catch dropped in the slips. Unlucky not to have many nicks going to the hands. Mighty impressed with Nathan Smith.

 

[Binkley]

I was just about to post about how impressed I am by Nathan Smith too. Bloody impressive start to the season for him.

I know McEwan is a very successful domestic bowler but it's about time someone attacked his medium pace like that.

This Ludick guy seems like the real deal.

Yeah his boundaries look excellent, style and a lot of strength for a 21 yr old.

Yeah talk to me some more about this Nathan Smith fellow

Still waiting on the Jacob Duffy analysis to start for the season in this thread tbqh.

Fraser Sheat reminds me a bit of Michael Owens. Very uncomplicated action. Based on watching 2 balls .....

pretty happy to see watlings heir ton up at #4 on a green deck, and in style

I agree, Conway was magnificent.

That drop off him today though in the (4s) highlights, farkkin christ.

 

[SeamUp]

I hope Conway isn't just a tease. Strokes from heaven. Really want to see him in a Blackcap one day.

if history has taught me anything it's that wellingtonians, even the pretend ones, always disappoint

unless they're grant elliott, who rose above his province

I hope this Conway bloke gets picked soon so that I can make a terrible "he's having the game of his life" pun.

Jeez Wagner is the gift that keeps on giving. So many fringe but talented saffers now looking at the ease with which he transitioned from a 2nd division domestic journeyman to a test regular, and crying out "Me too!"

Too obscure for most plebs. You'd get more from a "what's a Devon Conway?" "oh about 90 kilos smithy"

 

[Immenso]

No blackcaps this round?

Are they en-route to UAE already? They've got an ODI in 2 weeks time ( 31 Oct ).

Edit. Wait. CdG and Sodhi are playing for ND. Kane, Boult, Watling resting?

well you've jumped the gun now and I'm afraid under internet rules you'll be unable to reuse the joke if Conway ever makes it to international level

looking forward to Danny Morrison "Conway glides that through the gap again like a cellular automaton"
