2020/21 New Zealand Domestic Season

Back to back hundreds for McClure. The bloke has scored 3 hundreds already this year, one in PS and two in Ford trophy. Another handy sort of young player fulfilling the promise from early on.

Heck no haha, would be answering a few questions if that was the case..

Matt Fisher on debut for ND today, probably the second quickest bowler in New Zealand behind Ferguson. Hopefully he can stay injury free for a little while.
He's that quick? Thought It was Ferguson > Sears > milne > Kuggelejin > fisher > and then the hazeldines/boults/henrys. Conway rates Sears as the quickest bowler in NZ and one of the quickest in the world. I do remember Fisher clocking 146 at the U19 WC in 2018 but damn, second quickest after ferg? Hmmm

Watching him live he definitely is quick. I wouldn't go so far to say second fastest in NZ, but definitely 140+. Definitely hard to judge these things though - let's hope the suns out, speed guns out for the super smash.

I think Conway's words were "potentially one of the quickest in the world." Not sure whether that means that he expects Sears to put on more pace over the next few years, or just acknowledging that as he hasn't played international cricket yet he doesn't really know how quick the quickest bowlers actually are.

im not a mcclure believer until he stops getting hit all the time.

by all accounts fisher is terrifying in the nets and he doesn't even crank it to club players

Good to have live streams of domestic. Cant vs ND last few overs were dramatic. ND cruising at 2-238, needing 29 from last 4 overs, but a flurry of wickets (including 2 dumb run outs) gave Canty a chance, took some cool headed hitting from Brett Hampton to get ND over the line.

Haha, in addition to a blooper real, at the end of this season we need a video highlighting the most extravagant examples of players expressing dissent to an umpiring decision and that Guptill teapot reaction needs to be on it.
It wasn't a lingering tea pot but it was a beauty. My favourite was the leg cross that accompanied it

He spoke last season about how he addressed it after getting hit by Wagner then McClenaghan. I think Stead will be following his form with interest having coached him.

Just looking at that Canterbury ND game, Joseph Walker was far more economical than any other ND bowler. I remember Blocky really rated him. Matt Henry got smoked by Hampton in the 48th over. Another good game for Will Williams.

Following the incidents, McClure sought help from a sports psychologist to overcome the fear of being hit again and turn his focus to scoring runs.

“It took me a while to get over it, but I’ve done a lot of work with my mental skills and I feel in a good place,” he said.

“I believe I’m a good player of the short ball, I’ve just got hit in the head by two pretty good guys that bowl it well, being Neil and Mitch.

Yes someone who's already a member of GP forums should ask Blocky for a Walker update and bring it back to us. Whether anyone is cracking their whip on that former party boy and getting a late push for international cricket happening.

Now is normally when the national U19 tournament is on. I still haven't found any news on its cancellation, doing a google search.
