Mathieson having one of those short and wide days perhaps. 16 of his first two overs.
Potentially - although Papps ranks as one of the better domestic batsmen around the scene at the moment and has got on top of some pretty handy bowlers, be interesting to see how he goes against some of the other players who aren't so experienced.

That's true - it's a shame that my dominant memory of him is the repeated clatter of ball slamming into helmet as he ducked into bouncer after bouncer from Brett Lee.

Really? My most dominant memory of him was the repeated clatter of ball slamming into stumps as he wafted at ball after ball from Dale Steyn. Each to their own I suppose.

Either way, we can conclude that he struggled to effectively deal with genuine pace.

WTF is with CD's attack today? They've done okay but god that looks rank on paper. No Mason, no Wheeler, no Milne. Bracewell's the best bowler playing - dear god that's really saying something.

Poor Mathieson, he's getting absolutely smoked. I think it's time to call it a day with him, and allow him to come back and have another crack at it tomorrow. This is only gonna be crunching his confidence at the moment.

Brodie will be important tomorrow. If he stays, Wellington could still get a good first innings lead. If he goes, we could struggle badly.

Good to see Nethula pick up a wicket.

Yeah, Panda Mathieson will be smarting after today!
Guess we'll find out about his ability to come back and perform after a bad start now.

Otago certainly have a better attack than Wellington and CD at the moment, with all the latter two's availabilities. Wagner's in awesome form, McSkimming's a very fine bowler at this level, Wells is gun, Beard is the best spinner left in the country and Butler isn't **** either. Athlai under-rating them a bit IMO.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but someone online gave me the impression Wheeler is 12th man?:huh:

Mason I don't know, and Milne will return from injury after this match.

But yeah that was a bowler friendly pitch (which happens once every fifty games at Colin Maiden Highway) and we didn't make the most of it until later in the day.

Andre Adams and Michael Bates will not be so forgiving methinks.

Yeah Wheeler was made twelfth man, but I can only assume he was carrying a niggle for that to happen. Should get Gazza to check for us.

Wonder if any posters on here have played with/against that Herrick bloke (vic_orthdox...)

Personally, was glad to see him getting spanked around the park; because a) he looks like a prize ****; b) I really don't like the way Wellington brought in a mercenary like that; and c) we often here about how Australian club cricket is as good as NZ first-class, and so seeing a Victoria 2nd XI player getting belted helps rubbish that theory.
