**Official** New Zealand Domestic Season 2013/2014

[straw man]

I would say he's closer to McCullum's height than Fleming's.

Ok so if we interpolate then can conclude his leadership ability is somewhere between Fleming and McCullum's* . He does crouch a bit while batting. Stop bloody ruining my theory ok.

* though McCullum references the other NZ leadership stereotype instead - the boisterous boys' club guy

 

[straw man]

Latham-watch: Also hunches his shoulders in a manner reminiscent of Stephen Fleming.

 

[thierry henry]

Hi guys. Hadn't really paid much attention to Latham's height but certainly had in mind that he was one of the shorter Black Caps. Photographic evidence suggests about 5'9". Not sure why anyone would think he was tall anyway.

 

[straw man]

Wow the thierry henry dog-whistle worked quickly

Alright, Latham's not tall. He's still a mini-Fleming though.

 

[BC_fan_abored]

Latham's runs look even more impressive given wellington's start. Pitch must be doing something.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Why was Pollard opening up for Wellington when Papps is in the team? Seems a bit peculiar to me.

 

[straw man]

Wellington now 23/5 . Bennett with 4. Henry choosing a bad match to be injured.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Hmmm. Papps now down to bat at 11.

 

[hendrix]

Wellington now 23/5 . Bennett with 4. Henry choosing a bad match to be injured.

I wouldn't mind if Bennett got the call up over Bracewell/Gillespie/Milne for reserve seamer later in the summer.

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah Papps must've got injured fielding. Jeets out to bat at 7.

 

[straw man]

I wouldn't mind if Bennett got the call up over Bracewell/Gillespie/Milne for reserve seamer later in the summer.

I would just generally be embarrassed cos he looks so unco

 

[Bahnz]

Wow, Wagner better watch himself. This also makes Latham's innings look pretty special.

 

[Bahnz]

Did anyone watch the Auckland v Canty T20 game on the weekend andsee what kind of speeds Bennett was hitting? Yikes, Wellington now in serious danger of following-on.

 

[Immenso]

Hamish Bennett. **** yeah.

 

[Flem274*]

you know its green because the number eight ****ed off without scoring runs

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah Papps must've got injured fielding. Jeets out to bat at 7.

Probably only fair Papps is injured this week given Redmond is on Test duty, eh Bahnz.

 

[Kippax]

They often say Rangiora's one of those grounds where things can get instantly mental with cloud cover. Stead said the pitch was looking dry, will be an interesting watch.

 

[Bahnz]

Probably only fair Papps is injured this week given Redmond is on Test duty, eh Bahnz.

You better hope it's not too serious or this thing is done.

 

[Bahnz]

I know one should never judge dismissals when taken purely out of context, but there were a lot of extremely average dismissals from both sides today.

 

[Flem274*]

I can't remember where I read/heard it today for the life of me but I saw some great Papps fanboyism from a Wellingtonian. He has a case for being both the most overrated and underrated batsman in the country right now, and it depends whether you're in Wellington/Canterbury or somewhere else.
