2023–24 NZ women's summer

[BackFootPunch]

Could be a grand choke here. Don't think the Mair lbw was out.

I’m at the ground and this is pretty incredible to watch. Such a momentum change.

 

[ataraxia]

Wow

 

[The Hutt Rec]

What a finish! Heck of a time to go for a slog like that, when you need one run off seven balls! Well done Jetly for holding her nerve, it looked like she was quite emotional out there.

Isn’t it crazy to think Melie Kerr is just 23. All that experience though, and she is now just absolutely dominating NZ women’s cricket in bowling, batting and captaincy.

Younger than Rachin.

If I'm not mistaken, Melie Kerr in her last two games has been servicable,
77 (55), 4-1-10-5 & 1 ct.
26(33), 4-0-13-5

 

[RMBolton]

Has that (consecutive 5-fers) ever happened in women's T20 before?

That's awesome, good on TVNZ.

 

[NZTailender]

Fran Jonas Glacial speed tweakers doing well here

Captaincy seems to suit Maddy Green.

 

[Athlai]

Kerr is absurd

 

[Athlai]

Aaaand the Brave run out Athapaththu for absolutely no reason. Shocker

 

[_Ed_]

Kerr is absurd

And you posted this before she batted.

This has got to be the best all-round season anyone's ever had in Super Smash - men's or women's.

Here are her figures. (One match abandoned without a ball bowled)

v Otago, 7 (9) 4-0-17-2
v Otago, 88 (57), 4-0-25-1, Ct 2
v N. D., 11 (8), 4-0-21-2
v Well, 12 (16), 4-0-22-0
v C.D. , 60no (50), 4-0-16-1
v Cant, 77no (55), 4-1-10-5, Ct 1
v C.D. , 26 (33), 4-0-13-5
v N.D., 73no (49), 4-0-22-2, Ct 1

Still one group match left, then the finals.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Has there been a better t20 league by anyone in the world!?

 

[Neil Young]

That's insane.

 

[_Ed_]

All of that while captaining the Blaze too, so that's encouraging for whenever the time comes for her to take over the NZ job.

 

[ataraxia]

How does Rowe average 33 in the Super Smash with ball? More than a bit **** for a White Ferns regular.

 

[_Ed_]

Yeah, she should be doing a lot better than that. But CD also has her batting in the top four, so I'm not sure what her role is meant to be in this team.

 

[ataraxia]

A pretty strong Aotearoa Māori side facing PNG (on TVNZ+) as the Pacific Cup gets underway.
