Heh, you could play golf or lawn bowls on that.
Gotta be intimidating for the batsman - looks like Worker tried an injudicious flick, maybe thinking ****-it, to be bowled.

It seems odd that Ravindra played for NZA before his home first class side, that certainly can't be common.
Lahiru Kumara is the only other I can think of, SL had injuries depleting their already half empty cupboard of pace bowlers so they rushed him in pretty much straight from U19s as he could bowl 140+

I've got no problem with playing senior pro's like Woodcock and Pollard playing. Obviously you don't want everyone playing to be in their mid-30's, but having a reasonable number of elder statesmen around adds depth and experience to domestic cricket, giving emerging players a sterner test on the field, and people to learn from off it.
Nuttall's been struggling with back problems for the past couple seasons. Saw that he was starting to play club cricket again a few weeks ago, but no idea how close he is to a return to domestix.

Good enough to bat at no.5 for NZ A but not good enough to bat higher than no.7 for Ravindra
What's the point in playing Nofal at the top of the order, he's been there and done bugger all. He's best suited at no.7
I'd check Ravindra to open the inning on this deck and see how he goes. If they are looking at him as a bowling all rounder sorry to say but they have no clue.

haha hazeldine is fun to watch, kinda like a left arm ferguson
He looks pretty nippy, though that reverse camera angle adds on a few kms. Shipley's action weirds me out much more, the bowling arm comes down awkwardly late.
I used to run in like Hazledine back in the day, people would always say I ran in faster than I bowled. It is nice to see a shorter fast bowler bouncing people out though, he must be a fit lad to pull off an action in a FC match at any rate. 5-33 good returns!

If Ravindra wasn’t going to open then Fletcher would have been playing. Good to see Rachin going well so far!
PS: I think Wellington have had a really good balance this year. Have introduced a lot more young players but kept a decent base of experience.

Footage of Auckland under 19 leg spinner Carl de Beer in action. I see he has taken 3 of the CD top order, finishing with 3/33 off 10 overs.

Saw Ravindra's batting ball by ball. There was an interesting contest this morning with Tickner bowling wheels and Ravindra coping with it. Some really good short balls that Ravindra got under. Bad luck Tickner got to bowl lots to Ravindra. His was a very good spell not withstanding what the scorecard says. I agree with some of the posts here, Ravindra is more like Ross Taylor. Plays a lot of shots, loves feeling the ball on bat. I'm not saying that is wrong but we will surely see few attractive 20s or 30s. Probably having played at NZ A and against selected few top class bowlers has made him take the domestic a bit easy, not sure... Going by how he was batting (I saw one ball beat his bat) he could have got 150+ if he saw off some balls by Foxcroft. That said nowadays the boys just love scoring quickly whatever the format. We have seen the last of dogged defensive and wearing the bowlers out I guess. Now they take on the bowlers and put them under pressure by scoring runs. Different generation I guess.
I always make sure I check the scores of Nathan Smith, Glen Phillips, Finn Allen, Rachin Ravindra in no particular order. Finn Allen was looking good too and was playing Ish Sodhi comfortably till he nicked one behind. Finn Allen is a bit low when striking the ball and goes at the ball a bit hard. He will fix that over the time. His batting style will give him plenty of runs on sub continent tracks. Ravindra on the other hand stands tall and allow the ball to come to him. Scores purely from timing the ball. Strong on his legs, good at pull shots and really good straight. Seems like needs a bit of work wearing out the spinners though.

Like seeing Jamieson getting the ball to nip back in to threaten the stumps as well as his regular movement away. He's also engine-roomed a lot this summer with the bat.
Otago clearly managed to beg Kitchen to come back and play FC but then batted him at 8 - bizarre. Didn't help anyway.

Disappointing scorecard by Otago yesterday.
170/2 to 246 all out.
Hard work put in to get within 60 runs from making Canterbury bat again when the carnage started. Started with the Hicks dismissal which was awful, Hicks drops his own bat in disgust, lol.
I wanted to say "piss weak" by Otago, rather than "disappointing scorecard". But I looked at the FOW videos in squence. Hawkins soft C&B to make it 170/3 then the Hicks soft dismissal, Finnie fairly soft waft with no feet movement - but the rest of the lower-middle order wickets looked like genuinely good bowling until they hit the tail.
