***Official New Zealand Domestic Season 2021/22***

[_Ed_]

Phenomenal ton by Satterthwaite in the women's game this afternoon. So good to watch when she's in that form.

Agree it was a great knock. I only recall her miss hitting one delivery that still went for 4.

Adam Milne is bowling beautifully for CD vs Auckland. An ocean of calm amidst a blitz from Phillips and O’Donnell, and he made Martin Guptill look like an old man who hasn’t picked up a cricket bat in 20 years.

Yes he did, such a shame he's been injured so much.

Another great spell from Ashok today too. Another season like this one and he’ll be putting real pressure on Sodhi’s place.

 

[Binkley]

Now. NOW! Watling finally learns the art of downhill skiing.

Comforting to know that Billy Bowden is still a clown

 

[Meridio]

Jeez Shane Bond still looks good. Sharp

Test bowler

Even old & crocked, there’s still a reason

These former ABs are the same

If they caught you, you’re stuffed

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Also some current ABs in there as well

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Entertaining enough. 2-2 now as expected

Rugby players make the best cricketers, much like YouTubers make the best boxers.

Been saying for ages that Latham is an absolute gun in T20, I reckon he'd have a good IPL gig if NZC ever opened their eyes

 

[Immenso]

Henry Shipley has been taking T20 wuckets like crazy since Flem pointed out he must have the worse List A and T20 bowling averages in the world.

I'm not even trolling Flem here. It was true.

Hes taken 10 wickets in his last 4 T20 games.

if there's anyone in particular you need me to trash talk into being good, just say their name

I think Read, Jordan and Jordie Barrett would have been Black Caps for sure. Even McCaw's left arm mediums
looked handy. Great to see Parore still sharp behind the stumps, Bond charging in and Oram play some vintage shots. The camaraderie of the guys who played under Fleming was nice to see.

I see Dale Phillips dominated a reasonable Canterbury attack. Is he likely to follow in Glenn's footsteps to the Black Caps?

Izzie Dagg would have played for the Black Caps too. I also think Carter was a good young cricketer but he gave it up to concentrate on rugby early on.

 

[Immenso]

Gee, must have been a lot of double All Blacks back in the amateur days then when they could play both.

But there weren't.

 

[ataraxia]

lol Allen. Sometimes you wonder how that SR isn't higher.

Was it that realistic even in the amateur days? Jeff Wilson only got to play ODI's for NZ when he was 19. He was picked for the All Blacks later that year and largely had to give away top cricket.

In the examples above, I think it's realistic to think those players could at least have played at first class level given their youth performances. Read was in the NZ under 17 side and missed the under 19 tournament with a rugby injury at 18 then committed to rugby. With his dedication it's not hard to imagine him reaching the top. Dagg was clocked at 140kph at age 16 and impressed the touring Australians in 2005. That is exceptional and it's not hard to imagine someone with that ability playing for NZ given Milne was picked at 18 after bowling at 145kph.
