Yes it was. I'd be surprised if he wasn't picked ahead of Mason simply because on his good days Gillespie is a genuine threat to test class batting lineups while Mason is really a less penetrative version of Kyle Mills.Gillespie showing his day in, day out inconsistenvy as per usual.
Good effort by him though.
They didn't in the second innings, they've been batting well over 3 an over all day, and were undoubtedly playing for the win.Just catching up with the action. What a low scoring final. Canterbury went into this severe underdogs and Wellington just batted negatively.
from what I heard, Davidson bowled well, but Wellington batted appaullingly, I suppose because they aimed to just bat out the 4th day, and then have a go at the score the next morning. Whatever the thinking behind the leaving policy, it was seriously flawed.
Oh Astle's not that bad a leggy. Part time of course, but whenever he bowls he usually picks up a wicket or two, and by that stage of the match there were some pretty pronounced foot marks that he was hitting with some regularity.

Parlane pun intended?
Huh, I must've somehow forgot how before founding TOP and calling for a jihad on cats Gareth was a promising up-and-comer in the Auckland cricket scene.
Probably made the Henry Nicholls part actually work though
