*Official* Australia A in New Zealand 2022/23

[DougieRydal]

Solia's only value to any NZ team is as all-rounder at 6/7, why open with him?

82 ball he played before being Dismissed by Bartlett,

Put on 50 in 24 overs

Nz A wants to draw game so Solia did good

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Nz A 110/2*
Copper 56, Foxcroft 29 not out,

Spencer 8/3/18/0.

W. Agar 8/2/14/0

Interesting that Aus A has a few players that are barely even regulars in their state sides, if that. A couple of genuine A players like Renshaw and Hardie but the rest are borderline state players.

I don't mind it though. Giving rookies like Kelleway, Wylie, Johnson & McSweeney experience is a great idea. It's a bit different to how we used to handle Aus A team selection back in the 00s though.

Probably thought picking a full strength A side would be too one-sided for the little kiwis

Yeah our bunch are mostly the nz equivalent of Matthew Wade. The true CW A team is either filling in the odi side in ipl player absence or injured.

A few of these guys make it, like McConchie, Bruce, Dougeh and Fletcher.

In saying that what Stead thinks is very often different to what anyone else would pick so there's no real excuses in reality.

Daily reminder that Ravindra > O'Donnell.

Given the selector's evident skepticism about the Taranaki Chanderpaul's record I'm not sure if Bruce would get a spot ahead of Chapman under normal circumstances.

 

[straw man]

NZ A rolling out the best possible hospitality for the Australian visitors with a classic 4th innings troll chase on a road after a first innings deficit. Real cultural experience.

Is that what's happening? Hah love a good Plunket Shield ambush.

 

[straw man]

Ug Foxcroft out on 97 attempting a reverse sweep against a ball a metre outside leg.

yeah need 100 with 6 wickets in hand after Aus A declared twice.

 

[straw man]

O'Donnell being useless starting to derail the chase now

 

[TheJediBrah]

Wouldn't be Aus v NZ if we didn't declare twice to try and make a game of it

 

[OnTheBank]

Really good innings from Foxcroft. Dumb shot to finish it off though. Just needed three runs. Play sensible cricket.

 

[Bahnz]

Looks like it all rests on the shoulders of the engine room king.

Decent bit of keeping work as well that.

 

[Burgey]

Swepson showing yet again that's he's an embarrassment.

 

[straw man]

Duggeh

is a dummy

All on Fletcher now, he's a good player though.

 

[Burgey]

Good to see the better looking, more rugged and masculine Agar among the wickets this game.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Kuggs got sconed or something? lol

 

[ataraxia]

Swepson showing yet again that's he's an embarrassment.

tbh I think he's bowled pretty well, aside from a lot of balls drifting down leg.

Kuggs got sconed or something? lol

Excuse me, are you watching cricket?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I decided to watch it because I heard Kuggs was going to get sconed.
