Haha this is so good, if it refers to Goran Paladin's (outstanding) impression of Snowden. Actually, Paladin's parody was so good I'm actually 100% honestly unsure as to whether Snowden actually said the following:

'High....wide....CAUGHT AT MID ON'

Paladin's pretty good at impressions - I think I remember his Danny Morrison being hilariously excellent too.

Somerville's been in some form with bat this summer.

Interesting declaration considering it's Day 1 though...

Thorn Parkes and Jacob Cumming both named in the Otago squad for their next PS game.

A bonus of Rutherford's call up. Pretty cool to see Parkes finally debut. Discussed him with @Kippax here a few years ago after David White said he was an exceptionally talented player.

Kippax said:
He does look like quite an attractive left-hander and very punishing of any width, Parkes.

King's College now bound to elevate the batting role and enjoy two more years of Muhammad Abbas (Azhar Abbas' son). 15 but already smoking them out of the park last week, potentially a terrific all-rounder.

Ha, funny stuff. This sounds about right, though. Ron Snowden used to miss swathes of the action from his commentaries. Compulsive listening.

Paladin's impression are bang on. He could do a pretty good Billy Birmingham 12th Man type compilation if he wanted

He seemed a great character, but used to annoy the piss out of me when commenting on live cricket because he never used names and described things in a way that made it impossible to figure out what the **** was going on until everything was over. It was like he was commenting only for people who were at the ground and able to see who was doing what themselves. “Oooooooh. He’s gone short, and he’s hit it straight to him. And he runs through for the single.”

This made me laugh more than it probably should have. That's exactly how he used to commentate. Hilarious.

Five wicket bag for Simon Keene on debut helping Auckland to the win. I vaguely remember he was in the under 19 WC side a couple of years ago.

Another 'son of' in Hawke Cup. 17 year-old Thomas O'Connor (son of Shayne) was picked for Otago Country to play South Canterbury over the weekend, but the match was rained off without a ball bowled.

He's actually a very good bat as well..

Riley, Simon, Hira, Dhadwal brothers all play for the same club. Been hearing a lot of good things about Riley as well. The dude smashes it.

Jacob Cumming looks a reasonable bat. Not so sure about Parkes. Are there no experienced batters in Otago? Broom could still be playing and performing. He's just retired from all forms of cricket. Broom was a good player. For some reason he didn't tick as he was expected to. His batting in the last 2-3 years looked the best.
