Brett Lee is probably your last chance.
Last season was a good season for him with the bat, this one with the ball.
Wonder if he can do both at once

Not Terrible
Haha with McCullum injured, DeWayne and Jeets out of the Welly team due to form, McCone and Neesham not making their teams and Warner buggering off to Australia again the wheels have truly fallen off my domestic selector team.
The other players are keeping me respectable though.

Awesome. Provided we don't have any more matches rained off, we should be in a pretty good position to make a decent push for that 2nd final spot now. The next game against Canty will be crucial. We won't have Binga for that one, so it's important that the rest of the bowlers do their bit. After that it's a couple of push overs against CD and Otago. Hopefully one of CD, Auckland or Canty can trip up Northern along the way too.

Just got around to watching the Auckland-Canterbury match. Entertaining but the quality of cricket left something to be desired IMO, the first ball of the Canterbury chase an embarrassment all round. Think there must've been at least five dropped catches during the 40 overs, far too many for a match involving a selection of present and recent Black Caps.

I wouldn't consider him to be a great commentator, but compared to others they've used like Oram, O'Connor and Leighton Burtt, hes certainly an improvement. Although I wonder why they didn't use Craig McMillan as one of the three commentators given he was present at the ground and even helped with the Canterbury warm-ups...

The first ball was hilariously bad, but I can't think of too many other obvious examples of poor cricket. Yes there were a few dropped chances, but most of them were very difficult (ie. Nicol's drop off Sherlock in the 19th, ten Doeschate's off Astle and Hopkins' of Anderson). Even the dolley dropped by Jimmy Adams was followed up by an excellent run out the next ball.
While Anderson played an excellent innings, I kinda feel he should've done more. He got fed a lot of half volleys and full tosses that he failed to put away, even if he was still managing to hit a lof of them for 2's. Still it's only his 3rd game back, he probably just needs a bit of time.

Just a combination of really basic errors, the dropped catches, overthrows from balls that rebounded off the stumps when the batsman was easily home, and so on - perhaps I was being a touch critical but I gather that form in the HRV Cup is what we're partly basing our national selections on for the limited overs section of the Pakistan tour, so I was just expected a higher quality from yesterday's match.
