    2024–25 NZ domestic season

    Had a thought the other day that Brett Randall is the most Philander/Asif-like bowler in NZ. No pace but very accurate and nibbles the ball around. Hope he stays fit. I wonder if he'd benefit from straightening his run-up and delivering from really close to the stumps, like those bowlers (or...

    Yeah awful 9 ball first over when defending a low total. Can anyone stop the Otago juggernaut in this year's super smash? Just give them the golden pie already.

    Mason Clarke does look a pretty good prospect btw - nice action and shape. Go away rain.

    Wow, 53 needed from 42 balls with 10 wickets in hand and we collapsoed them. Duffy is such a curious bowler, for someone who is pretty much a standard low 130s tall outswing guy. Been around the edge of the NZ side forever, has looked toothless at times when he's played for NZ, and even when he...

    This young guy looks a cut above at the moment - young Michael Bracewell

    Watched Robinson's short innings earlier. Promised as maybe an 80% Finn Allen ball striker but with a brain, though he doesn't really inspire confidence so far. A little like Seifert tbh. Still hope he makes a couple of scores - he's only 22 and may improve.

    Was keen to see how Hay would bat and ahaha :/ Mystery wrist spin tough against the new guy, admittedly.

    I see more Chapman, though not quite as exaggerated with the long handle and long batswing. I hope that means he can be better than Chapman against real pace.

    What a drop, first ball of Clarke's career

    Interested to see Clarke bowl, a decent target to defend too.

    Very nice innings from Chu, can't believe it's his first t20 fifty

    Wow Llew Johnson has a horrible record. Ahaha first baller

    Chu has been good, Shipley has not bowled particularly well so far.

    Jamieson and Shipley fit and opening the bowling together :wub: gawnn, too good

    luckily no deeper damage as the crumple zone on Labuschagne's balls absorbed the full impact

    Hope these go ahead, provided SA schedule somewhere where a drop of rain doesn't wash out the whole match.

    Can we get Fisher in the side next summer to bowl a more skiddy version of the same thing?
