Oh I'm getting sick of this Talor Scott. Stupid name, and it's as if he doesn't even know the first rule of Engine Room.

 

[Neil Young]

Entirely agree with this ^.

Stupid name. Can't bat.

 

[Neil Young]

100 in 61 balls for Leopard. Who can bat and has a great name.

 

[Kippax]

Ah, shame. Slogged out with only 4.5 RPO required too.

 

[Gnske]

So how much ability does Leopard have really? Know he's built like his namesake but that knock just seems to ooze of talent among the rubble.

 

[Kippax]

I don't think anyone on this forum has seen him bat yet. Waiting on NZ Fan to put up a knock for us.

 

[Kippax]

Silly kids. About 12 more runs would've got them a nice shiny trophy on NRR.

 

[Blain]

Ah well only warm up. Leopard is 100% gun, as we already knew.

Finnie hasn't had many runs of late, for Otago also. Bit concerning from the Capt.

His high school coach said he was better than Ryder and KW at the same age, which is obviously ott, but it does give a sense of how much he's stood out over the years.

In the middle of those games, not shown, was national U19 tournament, where tbh, he statistically was nothing flash.

Averaged 29 from 6 bats.

Edit: was second leading wicket taker, though ......

Averaged 20 odd from 6 bats.

Leopard performing with some consistency in this tournament; after some of his spotty efforts in the past it makes a pleasant change.

Stupid.

He'll never change.

I've watched him play in the 17s and the 19s. Don't expect him to look technically correct. He has his way to score and is comfortable with his technique. Excellent timer of the ball, not all that big physically but packs a punch. Don't look for purist sort of batting as in Ravindra. Leopard is different in taking the attack to the opponents no matter what the situation is. It will frustrate at times if he doesn't go on but boy when he does, there's no stopping him. He's like Corey Andreson from the 2008 U19s.

You just can't take away from Leopard the way he's gone about so far on this tour. He's probably been the biggest match winner along with G Phillips.

Sure there are others but so far these two have been unbelievable.

Sounds like a fairly painful innings from Worker today - 11 off 42 balls.

Smith's scoring pretty freely at the other end, though.

 

[BackFootPunch]

Live updates of the video scorecard in the Otago game... That's new, right?

Bracewell going pretty nicely so far, might be getting back into form.

 

[_Ed_]

Brutal innings from Bruce. When we got Smith and Ryder out I thought we had a shot at restricting them to below 300. Nope.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Wellington getting reamed by Rutherspud. Time for Wellington to retire. Sigh.
