Serious questions need to be asked about Michael Bracewell bowling himself ahead of someone, you know, selected for that specific job. Otherwise, Wellington should have been selecting a batsman ahead of Younghusband. Just lunacy.
Yeah, good point, actually.
Scorecard says he is covid sub for Neesham
Is he? Is the batting talent in Wellington club cricket so poor that we have to be constantly treated to a tail that begins somewhere around 4 or 5 in the order? Younghusband is 32. If you're going to select someone as a no-rounder, then at least pick someone younger. Greenwood would have been a better option in my view.
Also a theme with Rachin as well nicking off to slips of late? As someone pointed out on this forum what's with good players going to black caps and then come back regressing rather than progressing? Looks like Rachin has lost his ability to play shots consistently in red ball cricket and when he does he seems to nick off. Although he did pick few wickets his lengths and line is not as convincing as it used to be. Hopefully he's just out of touch and hasn't had enough game in the middle rather than chinks in his technique.
And he can bat as well I think. Definitely a good find for Aces. Lovely action and rhythm but obviously 125-130k ish bowling. If he starts to show reasonable batting skills he'll be one for the long run.
On the same topic, who are the young players that might get a Plunket Shield debut in the next month? Cumming and Parkes and Kristian Clarke are now off the list.
I think he was also the top run scorer and top wicket taker in the BOP Club T20 Competition this season. Kid is showing some serious potential.More bowling dominance in internal ND play for Tim Pringle. He has 9 of the first 11 Waikato Valley wickets to fall in the current Fergus Hickey game.
Vishvaka will be getting pretty close to getting the nod over Georgeson and Bhula. May as well give him a taste with nothing riding on Wgtn's remaining fixtures.
