2024–25 NZ domestic season

They are going ballistic. Keene smashed one literally down the road.

 

[straw man]

Good to see Keene opening for the Aces and hopefully will bat higher in FC cricket too. His bowling is handy in swinging conditions, but think he needs to be a batter first and foremost.

 

[ataraxia]

It is very funny how many potential chances have fallen just out of reach. It's approaching double figures. Anyway, this is very nice for Keene.

 

[Skyliner]

Incredible ball striking from Keene. He’s out, but what an extraordinary innings. 81 off 35.

 

[Skyliner]

Can Jacobs keep up the momentum(?)

 

[Skyliner]

Jacobs looked to hit that punch for 6 off the toe of his bat.

 

[ataraxia]

Back-foot drive over long-off for six to a ball that would be a bouncer for many batters.

 

[ataraxia]

That's the Trumper shot from Guppy.

Will O’Donnell is a dead ringer for Jesse Ryder these days.

 

[Skyliner]

Kelly telling Abbas to bowl a ‘wide slowey’ and he bowls one at the stumps.

Wellington bowling wides and the Umpire not calling them.

Great deliveries.

Great deliveries.

The final couple were, a couple looked to be just outside the wide line.

 

[Skyliner]

The Aces lost their way after that incredible start.

If you can get away with them they're gun.

Does Will O’Donnell always carry on this much

 

[Bahnz]

Probably the best I've seen Abbas play in a t20. Seems to be finding some form, hopefully he can continue to build on it.

If anyone hasn't seen BJ Jacobs' six from today, do yourself a favour. Back foot punch over long off for six off Snedden - the perfect mesh of MCC coaching manual and modern-day power.

And in other news, Angus Olliver looks like the love child of the Tiger King and Heath Davis (which is not an inconceivable union).

 

[Immenso]

And the Jock McKenzie catch is also worth watching. Particularly liked the casual one-handed re-gather.

But, I reckon there is a 50/50 chance that both of these instances will be ommitted by the algorithm that creates the NZC youTube highlights package for this match.

I have a mate who's a hipster government drone who looks exactly like Olliver. Horseshoe theory of fashion.
