    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    To think that Canterbury's bowlers have pretty much won them the final and it's only their B attack. Where is Shipley btw?

    Finn Allen today - look SEE what happens when I try a defensive shot

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    I like J McKenzie's bowling action and think he's some who could get a lot more out of it, a bit like Kristian Clarke. But Auckland are pushing him more as a batter now, for whatever reason.

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Allen pretty much a single-use surprise attack that you can play just once before oppositions notice he's a threat and work out how to bowl to him. We played that card in the 2022 T20 world cup, got the win against Australia and now it's all used up. Anything further from Allen would require...

    Neesham hundred! Exceptional figures for Randall too. Interestingly placed at 239/6 after 40 overs, could get 330 or could get bundled out for 270.

    Group A - Bangladesh, India, New Zealand, Pakistan

    Looks like NZ want to win this match for protection in case the semi final is rained out.

    6th Match - Bangladesh v New Zealand

    Yeah we've lacked good finishers for so long, the composition of the side demands Macewell be the core of it at 7 whether that's his ideal role or not. He does at least have the power to find the boundary with ease, perhaps without being as one dimensional as Neesham's death hitting got to be.

    Good win, random match against India to come and then the biznis end of the competition

    Yeah that's the best example in his ODI record

    6th Match - Bangladesh v New Zealand

    Macewell's ODI batting record is interesting. He has the early match-winning hundred against Ireland and the freak 140 against India in Hyderabad two years ago. So if he comes in early after a collapse, he is capable of going big - at his best he is absolutely destructive. More commonly we want...

    6th Match - Bangladesh v New Zealand

    tbf in international cricket he doesn't have to contend with the likes of Sean Solia and Will Williams, his kryptonite on domestic pitches with seam movement

    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    ATG choke there. Didn't know about the nrr thing, I just looked at the scorecard where they needed 50 from 20 overs with 6 wickets in hand, and wondered what the hell happened. Peak Direbirds. Looks otherwise like an excellent century from Abbas until he failed to see it home. Meanwhile I think...

    I do back Jamieson to become a fairly good white-ball bowler if he stays fit for a few years. Though he isn't at present (or at least, last time he played white ball cricket for NZ he wasnt'). In the super smash his skills were so obviously next level, though at the same time he tried to bowl...

    A very satisfactory win

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    If Rachin is in the side the third seamer would be pretty much redundant here. Even so might bowl only 3-4 overs out of fifty. Honestly I suspect they picked Smith as much for his batting as anything else here.

    Oops I said something good about Latham and he concedes 4 byes. It won't happen again.
