Guessing he's deteriorated further from last year, or as captain cbf.

Last I saw him bowl he wasn't that bad... Certainly no worse than some of the other pie chuckers who bowl 10 a game for us anyway.

He was injured earlier in the year, perhaps that's impacting on him as a bowling option.
Surely this season of all seasons would be the time for Lance Dry to make a belated provincial comeback?

Looking at the scorecard i think it's safe to assume Franklin was injured.

First I have seen of that Crowe 91* innings. While watching it I knew that Patel would fail. He was tried everywhere in the middle order for the blackcaps and then found himself pushed lower and lower down. In domestix he was the business and some days you couldn't bowl to him.

That was a classic ODI series. Went down to the final over at Eden Park and saw 19 year old Jeff Wilson show some of his promise before he got snatched away by the All Blacks. Shane Warne in action a few months before he bowled his ball of the century to Gatting. Also, Warren Lees final series as coach before he was unfairly axed. That season Crowe switched from using Duncan Fearnley to a GM Autograph. Interesting to see so many guys batting without helmets.
That was the first time I'd seen that Crowe innings too - also the first time I can remember seeing him play a reverse sweep!
Agree about Patel. He was one of my favourite players to watch - such an elegant, languid style. Frustratingly would make it look easy, then get out to a soft dismissal. I was bitterly disappointed when he was run out for 99 going for his century against England. It was around that season that NZ had some ads with players giving a tip about how they played. Patel said that as the bowler came in he'd say "concentrate now", so I adopted that

Might've been perfect timing for him that they were playing at Pukekura, figured throw him in while he's in ridiculous nick and see if he can access the short square boundaries. If it was a final I'm sure Anaz would've played, but no harm in throwing in a future gun on a ground that suits him while he's seeing it like a ferris wheel. Being 18 he hasn't played against a bowling attack anywhere near CD's, so it's all learning.
And Auckland are going to defend 260 easily, that doesn't happen too often down there.

Wagner & Craig bringing Otago home. Ryder getting some runs earlier. Bit of a disappointing run chase for CD, Will Young getting 56. Also, Dane Cleaver getting 60 batting at number 7 with 6 sixes. Cleaver seems to have done quite well this season. Looking at his background I see he is Williamson's cousin and was in the 2010 WC under 19 team. Sounds like a reasonably smart guy, I guess you'd say his dad has a background in agribusiness?

Maybe it's just my amateurishness but if someone was looking to hurtle a ferris wheel down at me, I'd be PatelvsSouthAfricaing and hurtling to square leg as fast as I ****ing could.
Ah yes, but you'd see it coming, wouldn't you?
I'm not ever going to make it as a colour reporter. Even one as cringe-worthily bad as Mark Nicholas.

I might see it coming, but I fear my timing would be a little off. And Steve, don't do yourself a disservice. I'd much rather listen to commentary by you than by the uber-sycophant Mark Nicholas.
Here's something from Wasim about Crowe. Wasim selects him at 3 in his first XI
'Back then, only he knew how to play reverse swing'.

Yeah just a shame Rutherford and Macewell still didn't get into the runs against the ND attack, who I thought were a bunny for that duo.
Might just mean Ryder and Neesham get together even earlier at Pukekura Park on Wednesday though, before they both exit softly in the 35-40th over period. Otago fans are seeing a lot more of Neil 'Steady the Ship' Wagner than they'd find ideal in recent games, but the damage might already be done to Phlegm's boys by then.
