***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2015/16

Even its fastest bowler will bring quality to the engine room, courtesy of batting much higher up in club cricket, I see.
Zak Gibson. From what I've been told (because I haven't seen much of him in the last 18 months) is that he will be NZ's next 150k bowler. He's played a few ND A games this season and only just missed out on the last contract for this domestic season. Good bat too. Was scoring club 100's at 15.
This is what happens when you have me on ignore :ph34r:

If anybody wants the inside word on Gibson btw just hit up Dorn on cricsim. He's playing for Te Awamutu this season so he's probably faced quite a bit of him in the nets.

That U19 seam attack should be pretty decent actually. Gibson, obviously. I've heard someone say Ben Sears is up around the mid-to-high 130s.

I know the most about Smith but I'm not totally sure about pace. 130 maybe? His greatest attribute has always been his length. Has been bowling first class areas since he picked up a cricket ball, from the sound of it.

Been silent reader of CW for years. Just registered to post this.

Here you go some intel on Ben Sears. A super over in recently concluded Gillette cup 2015 where Ben Sears picked up two wickets in two balls. The lad is quick and is about 6' 6" I think he was recorded at 138k recently in the 19s

Here's Ravindra batting... ball by ball and bit of a drag but you get a fair idea of Ravindra's batting Looks strong all around the ground. Incidentally Ben Sears opened the batting albeit with not as much success.

R Ravindra getting to 100, great shot to get to 100. Seems very strong straight


Looking for Z Gibson, F Allen and Phillips brothers videos. Can't find them.

Stick around if you're going to post more gold like that, nzfan.

Like this Seers kid already. Big tall kid with a lovely approach to the crease and an action that looks mechanically sharp without too much stress on his frame. Howsie is right and it was the anti-point of what I said about Kuggle...this kid looks like a bowler.

Didn't like the ginormous slog first ball of the super over, mind you.

Glad you liked it. Don't quote me on this but from what I know Sears has had two years of not bowling at all because of a back injury, although not related to stress fracture. Since his action has been remodelled he's been bowling like a wind. Big things are expected of him in the coming years and he's only 17 :-O

Yeah I'd really enjoy having a look at Parikh and Allen batting together (Allen going on to a mammoth 142), if you did a bbb. 20th December it was.
