Kane Stuart Williamson.Damn, I spent so long on my CSI enhancement that I got beat by 4 minutes
Jack7 hits straw man for six sixes in an over in a single wicket Timeless Test Match. straw man won the toss and elected to field. Jack7 scooped the first ball of the match over his head for six off a 100mph Yorker without wearing a helmet. The next five balls straw man bottled it and got smashed over Cow Corner relentlessly.Liked Shipley's five pulled sixes off Ferns' feeble attempt at Wagnerball. Easy as you like.
A shame actual Wagner dismissed Chu when it looked like he was on his way to a second FC century.
Rich man's Macewell.McConchie following up his double with another century
He looked so surprised when he got Phillips out.Cooper more than doubled his FC wicket haul in this match
And then ND's 10th and 11th batsmen being their 6th and 8th bowlers for this inningsND 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.
I was surprised Walker batted ahead of Clarke, but he made runs so fair enough.ND have always been the classic team to do this, this match a case-in-point.

They probably just think Somerville should be there instead of him, though I don't know for sure.Btw, what's up with Ashok getting one game, picking up a pretty impressive 5fer (with a good ER), outbowling NZ's incumbent test-match spinners and then not playing again? I get that Auckland got smashed in that match, but that was hardly Ashok's fault.
