New Zealand Domestic Season

[CG123]

Wtf.

Nethula - 43 off 43
Kain - 23* off 15
Mason - 41* off 19

Mitchell McClenaghan. His death bowling wouldn't have looked too far out of place if he was playing for Zimbabwe, he just tossed up pie after pie to the CD tail.

Neal Parlane scored a hundred in both the preliminary final and the grand final, after having not played in a limited over game this season before those two matches. Before those two matches he'd previous scored only one List A hundred in 106 matches.

IIRC Auckland have now made both the OD and T20 final in each of the last three seasons.

Kyle Jarvis is gunning it in New Zealand. 18 wickets so far, in three first class matches.

Yeah, I think that more than shows the standard of our batsmen below the current crop playing against South Africa.

It's been a great opportunity for Brendan Taylor & Jarvis, to take part in New Zealand's domestic competion.

He took five for here, and you can't say they're weak when they have Watling at 7.

McClenaghan took 8 for 23 yesterday!

Yeah, five of those batsmen have played test cricket for New Zealand.

Nice statement by Ronchi fresh off the boat.

It was against a weakened CD attack but yeah it's a good performance. Let's see if he can do it consistently.

Is this Tarun Nethula? As in my club's old overseas player? Wow. Played that lad.

New Zealand news: No central contract for Jesse Ryder | New Zealand Cricket News | ESPN Cricinfo

Hopefully he can sort himself out and come back a better player. Despite what the article says, I can see him going down the same route as the likes of Gayle.

Vettori's come out of T20 international retirement for the World Cup which is good, and the NZC contracted players have been announced for 2012/13:

Trent Boult ? Northern Knights
Doug Bracewell ? Central Stags
Dean Brownlie ? Canterbury Wizards
Andrew Ellis ? Canterbury Wizards
Daniel Flynn ? Northern Knights
James Franklin ? Wellington Firebirds
Martin Guptill ? Auckland Aces
Chris Martin ? Auckland Aces
Brendon McCullum ? Otago Volts
Nathan McCullum ? Otago Volts
Kyle Mills ? Auckland Aces
Tarun Nethula ? Central Stags
Rob Nicol ? Canterbury Wizards
Jacob Oram ? Central Stags
Tim Southee ? Northern Knights
Ross Taylor ? Central Stags
Kruger van Wyk ? Central Stags
Daniel Vettori ? Northern Knights
BJ Watling ? Northern Knights
Kane Williamson ? Northern Knights

Mark Gillespie's the biggest casualty after troubling the South African batsmen, while Ellis, Franklin, and Oram are extremely lucky to be there considering none of them are really test prospects.
