2020/21 New Zealand Domestic Season

[Prince EWS]

Averaged 72 with the bat (and 23 with the ball) in Plunket Shield last season.

Was a proper opening bat in the NL system too. I was surprised he started his PS career with the blade so poorly, I rate him.

 

[kaetor]

Anyone to start the plunket shield blunder compilation? Will be stiff competition against the run outs of last season.

 

[Chewie]

Great innings from Horne, 200 run partnership to take the game away from Otago

 

[straw man]

Wow last saw the Auckland/Otago score when Auckland were only just drawing level, Horne and Ferns have absolutely smashed it. What a partnership.

Kippax knows that if he doesn't get this going, I'm dropping all support. I've been calling for it for years.

 

[SteveNZ]

Good to see Conway in the runs, fairly sure Mitchell screaming convinced the umpire to give him out which is far from ideal.

Looked a pretty marginal call, didn't it

 

[Chewie]

Otago falling apart

 

[kaetor]

Otago collapsing against Auckland and Latham doing it easily over in Wellington. Some pretty comprehensive results in round 1 so far barring any craziness from here.

Hoping CD at least get a chance to bat today.

 

[Kippax]

Not an IPL call-up, this absence of Sodhi's btw. Copped one in the nets or something, don't know for sure.

 

[Chewie]

Otago wanted to beat Wellington's low score. Meanwhile, double declaration in the ND game

 

[vandem]

Popped into EPOO again this morning. Missed the early flurry of wickets but pitch looked OK. A little bit of variable bounce. Solia bowled tidy lines.

 

[straw man]

So in the single innings shoot-out at Seddon Park the NZ-lite bowling attack of Southee/Wagner/CDG/Kuggeleijn is... totally dominated by Worker and Hay who are walking CD to a huge win.

 

[thundaboult]

Injuries - Watling (hip), Patel (calf), Nicholls (calf), Milne (hamstring), Wheeler (knee)

Milne is out again??? I thought he was just getting over the ankle injury and bowling off his long run now....my god can this guy catch a break ffs. He is miles away from national selection at this point. And with Lockie ripping it up in the IPL, he isn't getting a shot at the T20 level either.

 

[Bahnz]

I hate to say it, but it's long past time to right Milne off. He's barely played a game since the 2015/16 summer, and can't seem to go through mire than a handful of games without breaking down with something. Ferguson really is a bit of an outlier in terms of his ability to stay on the field.

 

[Flem274*]

tickners injured according to the cd match report. hammy.

 

[jcas0167]

5fer for Jamieson to open his account this season. That last one to Rae looked suspiciously like it might've swung back in a bit. Good stuff.

I feel like Jamieson not playing in the Australian test series seems in hindsight a missed opportunity like Wagner in 2015.

 

[Flem274*]

a bit less obvious though. i don't know about anyone else, but before his debut i was under the impression he was a slow swing bowler who just happened to be really tall and he had a high 20s fc average. he wasn't screaming 'pick me' for such a tough series.

 

[thundaboult]

So Jamieson has effectively pushed Lockie out of the test match selection arena for now I guess. Oh well, things go wrong with Southee and it might change the scene.

Yes correct.

I actually rate Heinrich Malan as someone who runs a very tight and non-dreary sort of ship for a NZ domestic coach (Jamieson's somewhat uninspired years probably more the Cantab years), but for Jamieson, getting exposure to the international touring team was a bit like that scene in the Shawshank Redemption where Andy duFresne is finally out of the sewer pipe.
