The initial movements across the crease, and then the way he brings the bat down from high outside off across himself towards the onside. As evidenced by his angled bat defense first ball, where he's playing from off to leg despite the ball being outside off. Commensurate with that, looks set up to hit lovely on-drives from off-stump (a couple around 20 seconds) but you have to worry about the lbw with the straighter ones.
Still looks a good player though.

You definitely won't get that from Popli that is for sure.

They did get fooled again itbt. 8 off 20 vs. Zimbabwe, when he just needed to give as much strike to 'Hammer' Hampton as possible -

Lol at Easts in the Wellington club T20 semi final. Needing 30 runs to win off 7 overs with 8 wickets remaining, they were bowled out 6 runs shy of the target. Couldn't happen to a nicer team.

I actually have the knock, if haters of excessive icing like Phlegm are still fans. KW to maybe teach him how to get a bit more out of that attempted back-foot punch.58 off 95 in a loss to Afghanistan.

Very interesting that Matt Salisbury was batting 4 for Petone. Former Essex #9/10, I presume. I know he was playing club cricket in Wellington somewhere, can't be the most common name.

Yeah it's the same guy according to cricketarchive.

Petone games are at the bottom.
I'm a bit surprised he was batting four in the most recent game though; he seems to have spent the 2015 portion of the season batting 7/8 and scoring no runs.

You can boost Taita by telling Houghton to watch for Salisbury's back-handed slower ball. Rogers and MMarsh slipped up on it.

AUCKLAND A vs NORTHERN A
16 year old Finn Allen getting a 100 for Auckland A. Would be nice if he turns out to be the real deal in a few years time.
What did people think of him in the televised game v India A. I found it hard to judge, him and Leopard counter attacked at nothing for 4, but it all seemed a bit Hail Mary with sheepish looks.
More important news from an immediate future POV is that Randell picked up a 5-fer. Really hope he gets a couple of games before the end of the season.

That's impressive and exciting. F Allen did score consistently in the world cup. Looks like a very good middle order bat. He can only improve from now. Glad to see these lads given a chance to turn out of A side.
