New Zealand Domestic Season

[Chewie]

Sorry i didn't mean it that way (if you took it the way i think you did).

What I meant is that Cricinfo hardly ever has NZ scorecards so for it to be up there and not on the black caps site is very surprising.

ahaha, I didnt know if you were genuinly suprised or if it was a bit of sarcasm:laugh

Anyone notice the great Richard Sherlock is playing for Auckland now?

Watch out for Auckland teams the next few weeks. We might just see an old name returning. Lou Vincent. He wants to play for New Zealand again too. We could really do with him I feel so it's really good news. Always been a Vincent fan.

O'Brien is playing his last game for the Firebirds today hopefully he can go out on a high.

Can't wait to see Vincent back either hopefully they drop Bopara for him.

I never realised Vincent was so young... Flippen ICL.
I can't really see him braking into our ODI top six though, Ryder, McCullum, Guptill, Taylor, Elliot, Vettori, they all seem pretty secure there.
We could definitely do with him in our test team though. An average of 34 is higher than everyone's bar Taylor and Ryder.

 

[Howsie]

Has McIntosh always played one day cricket for Auckland, or has that only started happening since he was called into the Blackcaps?

 

[irottev]

I never noticed him playing OD either. It might do him some good, learn to play a bit more aggressively. No Vincent today

I'm not convinced about Vettori at 6 in the ODI side and also would still be nice to move McCullum back to 6/7 with Vincent possibly opening. Test w-sem he could open or play at 3 maybe even 5. We still have some gaps.

 

[Howsie]

Iain O'Brien picks up a wicket in his first over, good stuff.

Yeah, i agree with you about McCullum.
Maybe, push McCullum down to six, then Vettori seven.

Look at Canterbury's batting line up. They bat to 9 with Van Wyk who has been in great form with 2 fourties at a 200 strike rate in the last 2 games. Only Martin and Burson are specialist bowlers (Martin above Burson? really?). I guess 10 overs each will come from Anderson, McMillan and Harris with maybe some extra from Nicol and Myburgh.

Canterbury Run Rate isn't great atm. edit: Stewart has picked it up. Looking at a big score now with such good batting depth.

 

[CG123]

Lol at ND's T20 uniform, good on them.
Auckland are getting owned up, which is just the usual this season...
Fulton is AGAIN amongst the runs for Canterbury.
Good to see Macca back playing, they have a strong line-up, even though they got two mugs with the bat.

How long till Franklin can bowl?

 

[irottev]

It's PINK LOL!!!! That's hideous. Surely they mixed it up with the Women's T20 kit.

 

[Ari]

Nice O'Brien's last ball in NZ gets a wicket!

 

[Howsie]

Corey Anderson 52* of 29 balls, the next Chris Cairns I tell ya.
