2024–25 NZ domestic season

The McClean park pitch this year has been really weird. When a quick bangs a length with the new ball it's jumping all over the place, then turns into a pace-off pudding after the powerplay. I reckon it trolled everyone into thinking it was a pace paradise when proper finger spin was the play, would've liked to see Delport have a crack. Even Lennox turned a couple which he's barely trying to do. Sodhi and Ashok got pumped because the legbreak dragdowns cost you too much with the short square boundaries.

So many exciting players on the domestic scene. Some names:

Rhys Mariu
Curtis Heaphy
Katene Clarke
Nick Kelly
Tom Bruce
Muhammad Abbas
Mitch Hay
William Clark
Adithya Ashok
Mathew Fisher
Henry Shipley
Luke Georgeson
Bevon Jacobs
Matthew Boyle

Would love to see some NZ A cricket with these blokes taking on an England A or Australia A in a decent number of games, or even taking on the Black Caps. I’d pay money to watch.

Blundell drops a hard chance, then shortly thereafter gets his gloves in the way of a throw that looked like it was on target to hit the stumps.

Textbook example of those unabashed South African family values that exude Christian sensibility getting offended and distracted by the milquetoast woke pride colours. Wagner used his experienced braai cunning to identify the catching opportunity as soon as Weenink had acceded to that uncompetitive NZC throne. Agribusiness.

Is it the Pride Round?

lol should've known ND would wheel out the turgid pudding side of the block for Cantebury. They definitely have some pacier strips to pick these days. Hopefully looks like it's going to backfire.
