I can't find the highest List A score from a #8 bat but the record in ODIs is just 100 lol.136 for Van Beek coming in at number 8

Yeah, we've had rain in Thorndon and it's pretty gloomy out there. Was surprised to see they were playing. Van Beek presumably was fired up after that Super Smash final over last week.van Beek is such a strange player. He's capable of these massive highs and incredible lows but rarely just has a solid, decent game.
EDIT: Two full bungers being hit for six by van Beek off Ajaz is pretty weak bowling.
Also, bizarre how they're managing to get a game in at the Basin. We've had some pretty heavy squally showers out in the Hutt - and the wind's a shocker today too.
Watermelon brain!Apparently CD were quite a long way ahead of the Duckworth Lewis par score of 74. Which makes Smith pulling out of his run up and wides off the last two balls a bit dodgy!

Given he debuted as an opening bat in first class cricket the sky really is the limit for him. He really should get the O’Rourke treatment and pushed into the NZ sooner then laterFoulkes' dismissal of Muller is pure ***. Late, zippy inswing. So much potential in that young man. Haven't seen a guy swing it like that in domestics since Seth Rance - hopefully he kicks onto bigger things than that.
Hmmm...might've debuted as an opening bat but his domestic batting numbers are nothing to suggest he's being picked as anything other than a bowler. Nathan Smith has an FC hundred and 9 50s, and a few in List A. I'd think Smith is still ahead. Not saying at all that Foulkes might end up being the better international option long-term.Given he debuted as an opening bat in first class cricket the sky really is the limit for him.

Definitely think he’s passed Smith as an option already
Absolutely. We've talked about trying to replace Trent as a left-armer, but it would be a similar point of difference to have a guy who brings it back into RHers/away from LHers.Got to temper it a bit that I think a few Foulkes LBWs to the RHBs would suffer from DRS reviews, once that is put under the spotlight at the higher level.
But, he's also got a fair few bowleds.
Not doubting his effectiveness to LHBs though. Would expect that effectiveness to transfer to test level with little trouble.
