*Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

[straw man]

and he took the final wicket. Makes no sense at all. McKay and JM Gibson both picked as bowlers and bowl 8.5 overs between them.

I think generally every NZ domestic side tends to play one more bowler than usual in FC. (but the bowlers end up getting all the runs anyway)

There seems to be a chronic fear of playing less than 4 specialist seamers.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Right in to the attack. I honestly don't know why he keeps getting picked - invariably smashed, so he doesn't bowl much at all. Now he's only getting smashed further lol

He has a strangely long run up for the pace the ball comes out at.

This is a familiar affliction to me, as I used to run in from the boundary (perhaps not as far as it sounds given Wellington club cricket ground sizes) and balloon the ball down like one of Grant Elliott's moon balls.

ND have always been the classic team to do this, this match a case-in-point. The top four are batsmen (though what a relief, two of them can bowl just in case), a wicketkeeper at five and an engine room of six bowlers batting 6-11 in which literally all might make a claim to be domestic-level allrounders. And right on plan, the engine room scored nearly all the runs here.

(ok pushing it with F Walker allrounder but he did score 79 today)

Peak NZ domestix.

Also, that was quite a nice ball from Lister to pick up Latham from that familiar round the wicket (if right arm) angle.

I just remembered Will Wiliams existed and wondered why he wasn't playing. I forgot he's playing for Lancashire now. He took 36 wickets @ 17 with the best ER in division one by the looks of it at 2.09.

100 (72) for Chad Bowes.

Yes, you read that right (presumably).

Get him in the Black Caps. We need more Saffas (joke). I see he'd scored 11 runs in his last 4 innings.

 

[Prince EWS]

Bowes has always been a serious talent - Conway level as a youth cricketer. It's always surprised me a bit his output hasn't matched it. He should really be entering his prime now, I still think he could make it as a white ball bat even if the Test dream might be over.

Yes even back in those SA U19 days, the pull shots attempted against pace and bounce didn't look promising.

1.15 in -

Probably makes a lot of sense that it's the slowcoach 'hey where's my humid air gone!' Auckland attack that he's managed this ton against.

 

[kaetor]

You won't want to watch how he got himself out...

 

[Kippax]

Well, to be fair that dismissal was more of a 'South African got way too arrogant while the going was good, lost to a no-name' sort of wicket.

Shades of Peter Fulton with some of those drop kick shots into the leg side.

Yeah he's a loss to NZ domestix even though I used him as an example of NZ Pitches All Gone Wrong with dibbly dobblies dominating. Looked him up on cricinfo and the first CC match that I clicked on of his was a 131&73 plays 107&59 affair - mmm yeah I'm not surprised he likes playing there.

Love the Big Ship back into it and picking up wickets.

Pretty sure I saw he was playing Hawke Cup the other day. Yep: https://scoring.nzc.nz/#mc482f2bd-ee94-4d60-8e69-4c538008586d

Jack Boyle playing for Hawkes Bay. Wonder if he will get a CD call up.

Big wicket for Pringle trapping Foxcroft.

Just looked at Tim Robinson's run out. Seems like he was in?
