*Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

[Flem274*]

The selectors don't care about statistics. The put it beyond doubt with the Macewell test selection and reinforced it with Tickner and Kuggs.

They just don't rate Clarkson.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

This Ross Holden commentator has the most 80s radio host voice of all time. Great stuff.

 

[Flem274*]

Good to have one of the best NZ white ball cricketers of the decade in the CD team so freely.

 

[NZTailender]

This surely has to go down as one of the best all round performances in NZ domestic finals history ever, no? A few wickets, catch, runout and a dominant century when other batsmen struggled to get in.

What's been lost a bit is a fine bowling performance from Davey as well. Been impressive.

 

[NZTailender]

Clarkson denying Bruce a 50 would be pretty funny as well lol

 

[Flem274*]

Yes boiii

Good hand from Tom Bruce too. Another who probably didn't get the chances he could have, though also failed his first go at it. Quality cricketer for Central across all formats.

 

[NZTailender]

Haha well done Br00ce

Chance to lead them to a double title too

 

[Flem274*]

McKenzie looks to get some jag which is fun.

 

[Immenso]

153/5 off 50 overs at Pukekura Park, looks like a classic!

Would've been 120/8 off 50 at a bigger ground!

Closest might be Cairns in the 93/94 final also against CD at McLean Park. He was run out for 99 and took 4 wickets. Rescued the innings with Stephen Fleming who scored 58 batting number 7.

I remember Michael Mason had a great game in his final list A match, 3/52 bowling, and then 41 off 19 with the bat to hit ND to victory with a ball remaining.

BJ Watling 145* a decent final as well, but not really all-round. Williamson with a fiver too.

[straw man]

Wow that's an exceptional hundred, a shame I missed it live. Last I saw CD were about 60/4 and noone had been able to hit it off the square on a slightly difficult wicket. Clarkson must have batted on a different pitch.

 

[Bahnz]

Clarkson should be getting a call up immediately to the T20 squad. He’s in red hot form and the selectors should be looking to take advantage.

Agreed.

 

[jcas0167]

Good to see stalwarts like Bevan Small, Smith, Bracewell, Ajaz, Bruce and Cleaver get winner's medals.

 

[Neil Young]

Yes boiii

Good hand from Tom Bruce too. Another who probably didn't get the chances he could have, though also failed his first go at it. Quality cricketer for Central across all formats.

I feel this and am always left wondering if his face didn't fit.

Excellent from Clarkson. Wow.

Dunedin club cricket prizes, I'd expect to see one or 2 of those names in the domestic contracts for next year. Or maybe Ebrahinm would prefer a known quantity from CD A like a Wiggens or Stoyanoff ....

Taieri all-rounder Beckham Wheeler-Greenall has been named Dunedin premier club player of the year.

The former New Zealand under-19 representative took 22 wickets at an average of 24.91 across the three formats with his offspin.

He also scored 494 runs at 26, including three half-centuries.

Team-mate Toby Hart claimed the bowling award. The pace bowler nabbed 40 wickets at an average of 11.95. He took 13 more wickets than the next best on the list.

The batter of the year title went to Green Island’s Brad Kneebone.

He had a cracking summer, accumulating 763 runs at an average of 47.69 and scoring eight half-centuries.

For the remaining CD v Auckland PS game.

CD can still win the title with an outright win.

For Auckland, it is academic. At this point I'd normally be whinging if Auckland don't give an opportunity to a youngster. But ... honestly, do they even have any good ones?

Apart from Jock McKenzie who is playing pro rugby at the moment.

They have spinners dominating the youth tournaments, but can take that with a grain of salt, spinners always dominate those tournaments "coz the kids get tired and try to smash-em, and their too feeble to clear the boundaries". No Ashok or Sodhi buzz around (that I know of? from my distance .... ).

Young bowler Samreet Singh looks good (last year), but has he moved for Uni or is he still in Auckland? But Auckland prefer dobblers anyway ... , Jordan Sussex can't even get a bowl for them.

Why, despite the NZ A game restarting at 9am, the Plunket game with a whole day lost starts at 10am (i.e., 11am)?

Why, despite the NZ A game restarting at 9am, the Plunket game with a whole day lost starts at 10am (i.e., 11am)?

It's because of your posts.

And your face.
