2024–25 NZ domestic season

[straw man]

Nice bosh from Jacobs

watch out dominion road mobil

But he's seeing it better now
and he boshed a six
off a ball halfway down
halfway down Dominion Road

Shipley is like a really handsome dude who's time travelled from the 90s and hasn't stayed up to date with any fashion trends. I like it.

B J Jacobs can bosh a six.

Good from Shipley, as a guy who iirc got pummeled every time he bowled in white ball cricket prior to his injury break.

Bowled a couple of really nasty looking ones that reared from a good length. This Canterbury attack looks stronger than the one that turned out for NZ earlier in the week.

Ashok should legit do a victory dance after that shot

 

[Bahnz]

Haha Ashok! Sam Konstas eat your heart out!

A hint of saffer in Jacobs' accent (presumably picked up from his parents as he's been here since he was a kid). Kippax tested and approved.

Some decent pace-off balls too. There can be a role in T20I for someone who hits a hard length and has an easy action that lets him watch the batter until the last moment and maybe roll the fingers etc. Thinking of Josh Hazelwood.

Interesting how much O'Rourke got smashed though, shows what a different skill set this is from test/FC cricket.

 

[Bahnz]

O'Rouke doesn't really have the changeups to keep batsmen second guessing, and this is entirely based on vibes but he feels like one of those blokes who takes 3 or 4 overs to really find his rhythm and hit top speed.

Nice to see Shipley get 5. Hope he can stay fit, still a very exciting prospect.

Is he a god botherer? If not, I don’t think he would get the Kippax approval, as I recall.

Bowes should really be in nz's jam xi ahead of Robinson

 

[Bahnz]

Oh **** no, that looks awful

Gotta hope neither has broken a bone in the arms they were holding, and have to assume Dixit concussed.

Why didn't Aces replace Dixit with Perera? Commentary says replacements Keene and Olliver (seamers) can't bowl. But I thought Dixit bowled some occasional SLA. And commentary said Perera in ground.

 

[straw man]

Nope, no concussion sub. Canterbury should surely win with Auckland down two bowlers.

Edit: thought Dixit bowled too but apparently not

Looks like they've just done that, but they're only fielding subs so can't bowl anyway.

Was only part watching - looked like Dixit took big head knock on the replay I saw. Lucky to escape concussion.
