*Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

[Ghost]

Gillette Cup underway today. Anyone aware of who to keep an eye on?

Tim Seeto gets mentioned here and I see he is about 160 not out. Zac Cumming played in the 2020 one (the 2021 tournament was canceled due to Covid). Obvious family pedigree along with Thomas O'Connor.

[straw man]

Another extremely low-scoring Ford Trophy match with Auckland all out for 165

The Development XI is in action again. Not sure why their scorecard doesn't seem to feature on the main page with the Gillette Cup and Ford Trophy live fixtures.

Seifert taking Ben Sears to the cleaners this morning.. Couple of massive sixes

Make that four big bombs

Love that guy who keeps shouting out "YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH...WOOHOOHOO...ON THE BUTTON!!!!" at the fall of every ND wicket.

Good chance that’s @Kippax

Nothing beats Devon Conway ruining experiences.

Allen's back for Wellington, and playing the whack game well again. Ideally with 382 the target, Conway can be defensive enough to ruin Jagadeesan's experience by letting Allen score 280 of the runs.

 

[ataraxia]

lol at Kristian Clarke half-trying to mankad Conway

Also I find it funny that Pete Drysdale is finally manufacturing some games for ND, as of all things a limited-overs bowling AR. Only got there through Santner being unavailable (mysteriously), Sodhi moving to Canterbury, J Walker being injured, and F Walker having COVID.

More great reactions courtesy of our mystery commentator. My favourite was in response to Allen's 2nd six:

"THAT'S GOODBYE!!! THAT'S GOODBYE!!!"

Good to see a BOP stalwart getting a call-up.

Ehhhh, 34 year old making his debut, I don’t know about that. There is plenty of young all rounders running around at the moment in Fergus Hickey cricket. You could give one of them a roll if you were looking at someone to bat 8-9 and bowl 5-6 overs.

CD imploding, 15/5 in the second match vs Auckland at Pukekura.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Ross with another duck. Sigh.

Notice he made 39*(21) on Tuesday with 36 of them in boundaries lol

True, that is the complaint @nzfan has previously made about Wellington.

Zac Cumming is going well in the Gillette Cup at the moment. These live streams on YouTube are great.

Seth Rance was almost the top scorer in this innings. There's something you don't see every day.

Blows my mind as an East Coast NI guy that there is cricket happening...it hasn't stopped raining in my town since Dec 5
