New Zealand Domestic Season

[Chewie]

murali is just there for the t20's isn't he?

Yes but they have

Papps
Murdoch
Parlane
Elliott
Franklin
Woodcock
Austin-Smellie
Patel
Gillespie
McKay
O'Brien

which is a pretty decent side.

Murdoch for the ICC 2011 New Zealand random gun, he's got a FC average of 45!

 

[Chewie]

He's pretty talented from what I hear.

 

[CG123]

They don't really need that many bowlers as well, they could get one of Brodie/Merchant/Pollard/Rhodes in there.

 

[Chewie]

Well McKay or Gillespie will be injured mostly likely and one of them two and O'Brien will probably go on international duty or something.

We don't need these Canterbury rejects at Auckland.

We will have them with open arms I still think our team is too old though especially the bowling attack and I'm not sure signing Papps is moving in the right direction, but heck nothing has worked in the last 5-6 years so why not. I'm quite glad Siddons is new coach though as hopefully he will be harder on them than Stuart.

 

[Howsie]

Lee Germon having a whinge over Anderson leaving Canterbury

 

[Chewie]

Brandon Hiini's coming to ND lol. He was an ICC2008 god wasn't he?

 

[CG123]

I'm not sure, I don't have 2008.

What's with ND farming all off these outsiders though, they have like five regions to pick players from...

 

[Chewie]

It's what everyone's doing...

And it's not like we're approaching them. I think they're coming to us.

Bradley Scott's going to Otago, Papps to Wellington, Neal Parlane and Cameron Merchant are out of Wellington, George Worker possibly to Canterbury (he's playing for Scotland atm lol)

 

[CG123]

Auckland doesn't really roll that way, although we did sign Greg Todd from Otago last season, and I think our captain's from elsewhere, and ...

* Waits for someone to post all of the Auckland players from elsewhere *

Lol at Worker, both of the matches he's played in for Scotland they've won.

And it's not like we're approaching them. I think they're coming to us.

Because Hamilton's such an attractive place to live.

 

[Chewie]

No they come to Auckland and don't want to play for such a terrible team so they play for ND instead

 

[CG123]

We don't want them, because we're already loaded with such talent.

What's that?

Auckland won two trophies last season.

 

[Chewie]

Yes but how have you been doing in the proper cricket?

 

[CG123]

That stuff that five people turn up to watch?

HRV Cup FTW!
