    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    @Flem274* might be best placed to comment. He was really highly rated coming along with Wheeler & Bracewell. Ian Butler was really express then reinvented himself as an all-rounder. He did really well to get back to the Black Caps briefly. Would be amazing if Small could do the same. Good to...

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    Great to see Abbas translate his form in other formats to T20 after struggling against Auckland. Said in the interview that Conway and Bracewell told him to just keep still and back himself. He has seriously fast hands. Can see why he's been promoted so quickly to NZA. Also, has the ship...

    Enjoying Bracewell bowling to Bracewell.

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    On the player mic Abbas confirmed to Elliot he is still working on his left arm seamers and could be called upon to bowl in the Super Smash. Interesting as I was wondering if Abbas still bowled (vaguely recall someone posting footage of him bowling left arm pace at an age-group tournament on...

    Watching the replay - Elliot and Stephenson think Nathan Smith has gained a yard or two of pace this season.

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    Hasn't kicked on, but has been getting some reasonable starts at least: 30 not out off 16 v Otago TB Robinson c Raval b Wagner 20 off 11 TB Robinson c Harrison b Lister 21 off 14 TB Robinson c Patel b Small 2 off 8.

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    Yeah, that was from Latham on player mic while keeping. He initially just said he bowls a heavy ball and the commentator (Katie Martin?) pressed him to elaborate on that which was helpful. Keepers in general might be good to hear from on stump mic on the bowling prospects. Agree with the...

    Latham on Foulkes: bowls a heavy ball, not overly tall but has a high release point.

    Phillips really showed his class - not even Santner escaped punishment at the end. Good for Foxcroft too as you say - he usually has to carry the batting.

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    It's good to see him and Phillips coming back and standing out. Santner's batting at this level is so good (kind of like Vettori for a while in Ford Trophy).

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    Jim Maxwell and the ABC team were great, Geoff Lawson, O'Keefe, Peter Roebuck. And yeah, the guys around the country doing the Plunket Shield updates were legends. Ron Snowden in particular had a great voice, Garth Galloway was very good too.

    Dropping McLaughlin on naught off Pringle hurt them too. An absolute sitter, top edge off a mistimed sweep but the player maybe tried to take it too low and spilled it.

    (Ollie) White Watch

    Excellent innings from White to get Otago home with the lower order. Hopefully that sets him up for the rest of the tournament.

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    Great finish - and kudos to Oli White for bringing it home with the lower order after Foxcroft holed out. Young Perera bowled really well under pressure too, some real emerging spin talent with Pringle and Ashok.

    (Ollie) White Watch

    Yeah, averaged ~64. Hopefully he finds his feet soon. https://www.odt.co.nz/sport/cricket/prolific-club-batsman-white-given-last-volts-contract Was actually thinking recently (I'm 45) how sports writing is often guys around my age dissecting the decisions and actions of people in their 20's -...

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    I always thought Chris Gaffaney (now ICC umpire) should have been called up after hitting a Cricket Max century. I think only McMillan was the only other one to do it. Robinson's 139 was pretty special, if he maintains his form over the competition maybe he could get a spot when IPL players are...

    Should have been all out for 35. Warren Lees extremely impressed by Nathan Smith.

    NZ domestic season 2023/24

    Bad call by the third umpire but White is gone anyway now. Bring in Jamal Todd.

    *Official* New Zealand in Bangladesh 2023/24

    Reminds me I still don't understand why Neesham didn't play again in the World Cup after his near-match winning innings against Australia.

    Inclement festive season weather spoiling my hopes of enjoying some Boxing Day Super Smash action. Hopefully it's OK in Hawkes Bay tomorrow, I'm hoping to get along.
