2024–25 NZ domestic season

for reference CSK are regarded the strongest home T20 sides, they've won 23 out of 31 but they're also literally the best T20 side of all time

weirdly ND are pretty much 50/50 at bay oval which I didn't expect. I guess they don't actually spend that much time there so it's only symbolically a home ground.

Only 8 out of 18 at the Mount (2 in 2 in Whangarei). Their lack of hitting power sans Clarke/Hampton still places a massive weight around their neck imo

yeah I don't think teams spend enough time at their secondary venues to get much home advantage

might be part of what makes CD so good when they're good, because they're forced to cover all bases to win

Matt Henry's Super Smash season:

5 matches, 11 wickets at 5.27 with econ. 3.62.

Feel like we haven't seen figures like this in T20 too often for a while

Bumrah was similar in last year's World Cup, IIRC. But I guess that's decent company for Henry to be in.

The arrogance of that Canterbury attack is beautiful. Nah we reckon we'll knock you off so we really just need 5 batters. Also 2 of those batsmen can roll their arm over if it's needed, but it it won't be.
