Very weird that Mitchell’s only bowled one.
Going down to the last ball by the looks of it.Fully support Neesham going for it, coz now it’s getting a bit close for comfort. Should have had it finished with an over to spare at one stage ... still might I spose.
Commentators have said he's picked up an injury while fielding and can't bowl. Out there fielding only.Very weird that Mitchell’s only bowled one.
Would be almost impossible now without those 6, tbf.Fully support Neesham going for it, coz now it’s getting a bit close for comfort. Should have had it finished with an over to spare at one stage ... still might I spose.
That explains it, thanks.Commentators have said he's picked up an injury while fielding and can't bowl. Out there fielding only.
Never managed to crack it in SA, only started producing big fc runs after moving to NZ AFAIKConway is total class, makes it look so easy.
Given he's been playing first class cricket for 11 years and has a great record, I'm surprised South Africa never picked him up. Anyone know the story there?
It wasn't the usual Finn Allen yesterday. A couple of good shots, but struggled to middle it and Canterbury bowled superbly to him. He then cracked his bat, replaced it, and was out next ball. Given the season he's had, was due a failure.Finn Allen looked like he got a bit giddy and tried to slap everything around every ball? Going on highlights, mind you.
They have been saying that's his favourite bat.It wasn't the usual Finn Allen yesterday. A couple of good shots, but struggled to middle it and Canterbury bowled superbly to him. He then cracked his bat, replaced it, and was out next ball. Given the season he's had, was due a failure.
I think it's likely Sears won't see any international cricket this season. McMillan was pretty critical of him on commentary yesterday in bowling across the seam every delivery saying he feels as though he lacks control with his bowling. Given McMillan was in the coaching setup not long ago, I bet others are seeing the same thing.
Finn Allen’s favourite bat is swathed in tape, and not for use in the nets lest it break and somehow jinx his phenomenal run of form.
Cricket’s newest weapon of mass destruction nestles in Allen’s bag, the 1.16kg (2 pound 9 in batting speak) chunk of willow with the Adidas stickers primed for one more joust in the big Basin Reserve final on Saturday.
It’s a great place to play cricket. And because I played a season there I can say I knew Nathan Smith before he was the future of NZ cricket. As I may have mentioned a few times.And, has been pointed out on Twitter, North Otago now holds the main trophy in both Meads Cup (Heartland rugby) and minor association cricket. Impressive for a region with six rugby clubs and six cricket clubs.
