*Official* New Zealand Domestic Cricket Season 2012/2013

That's bad luck for Otago. Is McMillan even worth having in the team? Fairly average numbers plus injury risk. Is there anyone apart from Duffy they could bring in.
Think I heard Blair Soper for when Wagner leaves? McSkimming not available till Christmas.

Scorecard actually says they did at 80.1 and Craig's kept going, unusual pitch conditions tstl. Tomorrow is right there for Tastle to have the best match of his life!


I never knew that Rangiora was on the Indian Subcontinent...

A bit trickier than that. You can go to a page like this one -
New Zealand Cricket -

Click on the video highlights links to those internationals, sign in, watch a highlight, then backspace the address bar to nothing, put in this link and hit enter.
New Zealand Cricket - Welcome
Wasn't there a video.highlights.blackcaps.pooch url or something that got in behind the official NZC site?

Disappointed to see A.McKay's dismissal miss out, if I'm being critical. But very happy if it was a send-off Gillespie was giving Sinclair.

EDIT: I should really read harder. Muppet.

Well done Carl Cachopa, last season not just a purple patch. I am pleased he and Rutherford are carrying on this season.

I just watched his boundary montage of his century, nice footwork, shots pretty much all round the wicket. Good stuff.

Just watched Mathiesen's 12 overs.

Hard to see how he went for 5 an over, also hard to see how he didn't get patels wicket. Although to be fairpatel always loks like he is about to be dismissed any moment..

Most of his runs through 3rd man and backward point.
He hurried up Papps, who tried 3 times to pull him and missed each time. Plus other general struggling with his pace and bounce.

Ryder is a class above though, but he was playing some non-text book shots.
Only bouncers he bowled were to Jeets.

No evidence of swing. He either pitching up aiming for stumps and pads, or it is cuttable length but not cuttable width outside off stump using his height and pace to try and force an edge (I am guessing).
He got Murdoch, Papps, and ronchi mis-timing attempted cuts. One of which was ronchi's wicket.

Great little knock from Gillespie there to help drag Wellington back into the match. That Ryder bloke isn't bad either.

Have to say, it casts the rest of the batting performances in an unkind light. Pollard and Elliot got good ones, but the rest of the batsmen surrendered their wickets pretty meakly...

Ryder's refusal to shepherd even the number 11 from the strike doesn't exactly smack of team play. Still, Wellington added nearly 100 runs for the last 2 wickets, so what do I know?

True that Pollard got a good one, but man he played it awfully. As Kippax said, that's your FC No.3 right there. Boam might be a better fit there in FC.

As for Ryder not protecting the tail...they seemed to do okay. And maybe it was a reaction to McKay trying to pull one into Marine Parade.

Some pretty average looking stats their for Bracewell. Has anyone seen how he's bowling?

Wellington really isn't holding back with Ryder. 20 overs in the game so far + a century. It's a good test for him, I guess.

Two hundreds in a match for Aaron Redmond. Always felt that he probably deserved a couple more tests for New Zealand, especially given the charmed life that TMac would ultimately go on to lead.

Must say I never saw the appeal of Redmond. Would have preferred someone like Cumming was given a few more chances back in those days. Either way, it's damn good our test side has two settled openers now, even if they're rather average by international standards.

Thought this chase might have been tricky for Otago but they've (all but) killed it. Tastle 1/77 in 4th innings not exactly impressive.

Hard to see a result coming in the other match unless Wellington collapse on the final day.

Agreed, Cumming should've had more chances. It kinda seemed like the selectors just forgot about him.

Redmond was nothing more than the last Rob Nicol. They both bashed around minnows in the shorter formats a couple of times despite largely being anchor batsmen in domestic limited overs cricket, bowled some part-time tweakers and predictably looked all at see at Test level after only being good-but-not-exceptional domestic players across their careers. Redmond probably shouldn't have played for New Zealand at all IMO.

I always saw Cumming as a bit of a weird case. When he was actually in the Test side he probably didn't really deserve to be there, but he didn't look completely out of place other than the technical fault he had wrt lbws (which could obviously be worked on). A couple of years after he'd been dropped he was really banging down the door though and only got the call-up to play a couple of one dayers as a middle order batsman, which was never going to be his go. I really thought he was a worth another try as a Test opener during his domestic peak, even though he was on the wrong side of 30 by that point.
