Another example of my post the other day, how our catching is really pretty dire. That hit him in the chest, and he was deep/had plenty of timeDazza's experience at dropping catches coming in handy

Had 2-0 off 3.3, the first run off him could've been a runout, then one run off his last ball of his spell. The guy is a powerhouseOh wow Henry's figures this match

Why is Canterbury vs nd being played in Wellington?

Yeah there's promoting youth, but Pomare and Lellman at 3 and 4 was not it against bowling at Canterbury's level. Admittedly ND's batting lineup just looks too weak today, full stop.
Meanwhile M Boyle has both timing and a heap of power.

It is a finals week-end. Grand final tomorrow. At the same venue. Both mend and womens comps.
Unfortunately Wellington didn't make the top 3. Although they have in the womens.
But underneath that, the reason for a finals week-end is all about cost minimization. Of setting up the TV outside broadcast equipment. With that decision being easier to swallow due to a little bit of venue certainty in a congested calendar. Plus the double headering of the womens and men's on same day, which gets weird when women may play a neutral final based on tv camera being at the men's venue.

So 4 games on the same pitch? Bit hard done by if your ND finishing above Canterbury and gain no advantage from it

Severely missing Seifert
Remember, that's loyal Tim Southee as he was hailed as during his retirement tour. He's only been as loyal as his options
Dude is going to play for NZ for sure, he just has that effortless power and looks poised as hell at the crease.
No doubt it's the best attack in Super Smash history, maybe NZ domestic history. Who does it take on? Current day NSW line-up would eclipse it, with Starc/Cummins/Haze/Lyon/Bird/Abbott

No doubt about SS history.
I was wondering if a 1990s Canterbury team could match it 'on paper' in List A.
Best I could see was a Cairns, Bond, C Martin in the same side in 2003, but Cairns was playing as a specialist batsman.

ND are a classic T20 home fortress side. The low slow turners of seddon and the bay oval suit their army of finger spinners and nullify opposition pacers.
they don't look good on paper and will get pantsed away from home on spicy decks (see the last two games) but they defintely have clear plan

I think there's a good dolloping of luck there as well. A season or two back they still had Pringle and Joe Walker (and Sodhi), both a fair way in front of Freddy Walker, yet did not do very well.
Edit: well i suppose they won two in a row just ND things

in the past decade ND have won 20 out of 30 games at seddon park. That's an exceptional home record.
