    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Abbas' bowling has been decent for a part timer, but surely he shouldn't be needed for four overs here. Wellington's side is weirdly balanced with Tashkoff bits and pieces and Greenwood and Johnson literally specialist fielders today. Hartshorn not bowling out either.

    Very happy to see Sears back

    Schaw is actually pretty handy with that drift away, by rights earned Robinson's wicket, if CD could catch. Randall has been very good today too.

    Think Robinson looks least comfortable against spin, have seen some questionable footwork/balance at times this Super Smash.

    Lovely clean striking from Robinson, he's convinced me he deserves more NZ chances. Clark bowls extremely hittable medium pace.

    The dropped catch was unlucky and I like his enthusiasm... but despite trying everything - fast, slow, bouncers, full, the hairdo and delivering three meters behind the crease - Tickner just continues to go for big runs every single match.

    People like to grizzle about scheduling but I'm enjoying a match every single day at the moment.

    I don't really know who our best ODI side is at the moment. You think O'Rourke is guaranteed? Hasn't played many ODIs. And Ferguson but no Milne? As non-contracted players I would expect them to be treated similarly, though yes I'd put Ferguson slightly ahead. Duffy over Smith in ODIs at the...

    Yeah Matt Boyle is having a good season - in the early-20s age bracket he's scoring similarly to Heaphy though not as prolific as Mariu (in Plunket Shield). Scored his first FC century in the match against CD in which Mariu scored 240. He's batted 4 or 5 some matches for Canterbury and has...

    Shipley scored 40(17) :blink: Damn, missed it.

    30 is treated like a baby-faced 18 yr old, yeah checks out

    can Canterbury rack up their first win and move up from their current standing of 10th?

    what a farce

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Similar for Cleaver must be frustrating to be so near international level and yet so far. Tbf both did get a handful of NZ chances... Sometimes that's all you get.

    Fourth error with the gloves by Pomare that I've seen - one was a very difficult catch off Hampton but the rest were sloppy.

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Gulati has some similarities to Ajaz in trajectory, drift and seam presentation. Also accurate like Ajaz.

    Heaphy batted ok but his reverse sweeping leaves something to be desired.
  18. straw man

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    He looked like he was steadily improving first couple of seasons, but plateaued this season so far. Agree plenty of potential with strong front-on action, probs bowls a Heavy Ball (TM).

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Also a good first over from Fisher and pleased to see him get a couple to swing away - that will add a lot to his longer-form bowling if he can master that.
  20. straw man

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    This is a handy start from Gulati's left arm orthodox, haven't seen him before. Edit: looks like it's his debut.
