2024–25 NZ domestic season

[Fuller Pilch]

****, he's going to do some serious damage at the U17 in late Jan then

Went to play in Dunedin club cricket (prems) - 3 hour trip from QT and scored a century at 15/16.

Moved here when he was 8 apparently from Sydney, so will he want to wear the Baggy Green or the Blackcap?

Debut today for Lachlan Stackpole for Auckland, a batter who played in the U19 WC last year.

There's been so much opening with spin this season. I like it.

 

[ataraxia]

They're doubling it up!

 

[ataraxia]

Mariu ripped off there.

 

[Skyliner]

Surely that was outside the line? Why did the commentators say ‘adjacent’? Ridiculous, just ridiculous.

 

[Skyliner]

No ball tracking replay.

Don't fret, I got to the freeze frame and found the impact to be incredibly adjacent... to fourth stump.

Tarun Nethula on comms saying he gets compared to Colin Munro although his favourite player is Travis Head. Can bowl seamers as well.

 

[ataraxia]

The trend of not bothering to pick bowlers and just bowling shithouse spin that will inevitably go at 7 an over is very funny.

 

[Bahnz]

Brave effort this from Rippon to keep Canterbury going at the decent clip.

 

[straw man]

Maybe *this* time Canterbury's strong bowling attack can help them register their first win. Though tbh Rae isn't that great, Sodhi often gets pumped even in Super Smash and Foulkes is new, it's really just Jamieson + Shipley that is genuinely strong.

Where is Henry Nicholls btw?

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Anyone else being constantly bombarded with adverts for something called SalesForce (featuring Matthew McConaghey and Woody Harrelson) in each and every sodding ad-break. Can absolutely go in the bin.

Where is Henry Nicholls btw?

Injured I think.

 

[vandem]

Injured I think.

Fulton on guest commentator spot said Nicholls got a serious calf injury in last Plunket Shield game, still a couple of weeks from return.

I was going to post about this. They have them with the BBL games on Sky too (where I think they are a sponsor). I looked it up and McConaghey is paid $10 million by Salesforce as a consultant so presumably has some input into the ads. It was mildy amusing the first time (although kind of silly, as if the stylist is a complete moron and he can't tell them what he's after).

Canterbury can defs thank me for this one

Yet another player off the Howick Pak production line

 

[straw man]

I didn't see Canterbury's 20 minute collapso to lose against Auckland the other day and they just replayed it on my feed during the ODI innings break. Didn't realise what an absolute stunner of a catch Jacobs took on the boundary. Even better than Smith's the other night in the ODI.
