    *Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

    Nice. Looks like a good crowd in Palmy for this game. Clarkson absolutely bludgeoning it. That six off Ravindra onto the road was huge. One of the hardest hitters in the country. https://i.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/sport/6763182/HIBS-brothers-contest-top-cricket-honours

    *Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

    That was some innings from Horne to rescue Auckland with Solia and see them home. Have seen him do that before too. NZ are well served for keeper/batsmen options at the moment.

    *Official* Australia vs South Africa -2022/3

    That was bang on what the MCG CE predicted. Said interest was down.

    *Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

    Really impressed watching Tim Pringle on debut in the Super Smash. A helpful wicket but he bowled as well as Santner. Will be interested to see how he goes in the rest of the competition. I wish they had a speedball radar for Kristian Clarke and Shipley. Also, Chad Bowes must be close to next...

    Christ's College win the Gillette Cup for the first time. Opener Tim Seeto tournament MVP. https://www.nzc.nz/news-items/christ-s-college-gillette-cup-champions/

    Chapman has at least picked up a NZC contract now with Guptill being released from his.

    Which was the greatest of the bowling pairs of the era - Ambrose/Walsh, Donald/Pollock or Wasim/Waqar?

    Seem to have omitted Danny Morrison and Willie Watson.

    What qualifies as a Wasted Talent?

    Yeah, Hick and Ramprakash aren't wasted talents in the way Jesse Ryder or Luke Pomersbach were. That said, they probably fall in a sizeable category of players who could have done far better with more consistent selection. Duncan Fletcher in his book wrote that if he'd been coach in the 90's he...

    Looking forward to the Southee era. I've been pleasantly surprised whenever he's captained the T20 side. He's obviously something of a leader in the side anyway and seems to read the game well. Hopefully it will get him to take his batting more seriously too.

    *Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

    It really is! A danger of working from home. In some ways I find these games more interesting as you see the next generation of players coming through. Hamish Wilson bowled quite tidy off-spin - 34 off his 10 in a TBHS total of 297. That CD game ended up being quite tight although O'Donnell...

    True, that is the complaint @nzfan has previously made about Wellington. Zac Cumming is going well in the Gillette Cup at the moment. These live streams on YouTube are great. https://scoring.nzc.nz/#m6418d4d9-9255-42b4-b20f-2ddce0247217

    Good to see a BOP stalwart getting a call-up.

    Jesse Ryder.

    Nathan Lyon vs Graeme Swann

    @thierryhenry henry may be able to pitch in here. I thought it was universally accepted that peak Imran Khan had Hollywood level rugged good looks.

    Joel Garner vs Waqar Younis

    An exception would be Martin Crowe who said Waqar was the best he bowler had faced after NZ toured Pakistan in 1990.

    The Development XI is in action again. Not sure why their scorecard doesn't seem to feature on the main page with the Gillette Cup and Ford Trophy live fixtures. https://scoring.nzc.nz/#m451d83d5-bc8d-4a0d-9fd0-13ab9d70f939

    *Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

    Tim Seeto gets mentioned here and I see he is about 160 not out. Zac Cumming played in the 2020 one (the 2021 tournament was canceled due to Covid). Obvious family pedigree along with Thomas O'Connor. https://play.nzc.nz/news/gillette-cup-2022-preview

    Better Test opener, Hayden or Gooch?

    Yeah, Gooch definitely played in a harder era for openers. The hardest test in that time were the Windies and he played some incredible innings against them. The 154 not out in 1991 is one of the all time great innings. I wasn't aware of this one against an equally formidable Windies attack in...

    Never heard of Auckland's top scorer, Ryan Harrison, before. Apparently a batting all-rounder.

    Bowes seems to have made a pretty good start to the season after going on the A team tour. Kippax may appreciate his comments here. https://www.sacricketmag.com/bowes-appreciates-culture-and-care-factor-in-nz/
