Promising indeed, and seems a bit wasted batting as low as no. 5 at domestic T20 level. Should be top 4.Jacobs not deserving of a start for the BC’s, but looking a cut above in domestic stuff.
90 off 56 balls.
Has a 129 in first class cricket but this looks like his top score in T20 or list A cricket.He's often not lived up to expectations, this night be his career best innings in all formats?
My impression of O'Donnell at Akl was he seemed to be pretty reliable. Captained the A team with Tom Bruce on a tour to India? Would probably be a solid international. Just checking his stats he has 20 not outs in T20's which is around 27% of his innings. Fletcher has 33 not outs - around 29% of his innings. Dane Cleaver (just as a comparison) has 10 - around 10% of his innings (although I guess he tends to bat higher up).Hmm ND pulled one out of the fire there. It was the sort of slow and low pitch that one needed to get in on to assess its pace.
I've always found it somewhat interesting that Robbie O'Donnell and Cam Fletcher buck the standard trend of "middle-order Super Smash player with a mediocre record averaging low 20s", both sporting averages in the mid-30s. The one season they were together for Auckland they won the thing.
So does Doug Bracewell.I've always found it somewhat interesting that Robbie O'Donnell and Cam Fletcher buck the standard trend of "middle-order Super Smash player with a mediocre record averaging low 20s"
