***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2008/09

[Athlai]

Look at all those good starts for Worker without going on! I think that's actually a positive, he's doing all the hard work.

Papps > Worker in terms of the hardwork.

Yeah, and Papps has a ****load of experience, which makes his starts even worse.

He's been batting at a Richardson-esque pace this season ****ed if I know why.

Probably cause the NZ selectors keep bitching on about "batting time".

 

[Athlai]

Reckon he's also played in some of the tougher conditions thus far.

 

[Polo23]

Or he's just rubbish...

According to commentators the Wellington pitch is green. Good chance for Ingram, Worker, Bell and Brodie to post big on a hard pitch.

Can only see Ingram and Brodie being capable myself, if the technical observations on Bell from a few weeks ago still hold true.

 

[Athlai]

Nar, he's quite good better than a fair few of the guys who have been tonning up on the flat tracks.

Expecting Lamb and Napier to rip though the Stags in no time TBF, and Patel to wrap up the tail. 100 run first innings lead.

In terms of domestic cricket, he's decent. But I would never say he's better than Bell, Cumming or a host of other average openers.

Michael Papps was a good opener a few years ago. Unfortunately he's declined due to uselessness against short balls (like McIntosh) and a lack of off-stump awareness. He can be too front foot orientated.

He's is miles ahead of Bell, Redmond and McIntosh though.

Oh god

That just simply isn't true. Well...maybe McIntosh, but that remains to be seen.

Because its working so well now.

The only ripping through will be Thompson and Mason on..er...oh thats right, Mathew Bell and Grant Elliott.

No Jimmy bating at five to bail you our muah hahahahahaha

As long as Sherlock doesn't throw his highly over-rated pies we'll be alright.

Good argument.

You're basing that on what, exactly? A century scored over a week ago when Wellington posted 500/7?

And a lefty***

 

[Polo23]

Good argument.

I don't really need an argument, what you said is blatantly false. No point arguing.

 

[Athlai]

Papps > Bell

Cumming = Papps

 

[Bahnz]

Papps > Bell

Cumming = Papps

DWTA.

Cumming > Bell > Papps

 

[Polo23]

Cumming > Bell > Papps

100% correct.
