2024–25 NZ domestic season

Greenwood at 8 and Tashkoff at 4? That's bizarre if they roll out like that. Tashkoff the bowling all-rounder and Greenwood the batsman.
It's certainly strange, but in fairness I imagine they're planning to utilise Greenwood's bowling a fair bit. Might be a wise call: there certainly appears to be help for spin based on Schaw's over.

But Tashkoff is also a spinning all-rounder. I know they're trying to use Greenwood's bowling more this season, but I'd still have him ahead of Tashkoff. Especially given Greenwood was the only one who got any runs last time out. Severin at 7 is also a bit odd.

aren't the batting lineups guessed by the broadcaster? There's no requirement for teams to stick with whatever they give out ahead of time.

Haha, yeah. Was genuinely shocked when that wasn't sent upstairs. Was reasonably close even without the bat bounce. Raval taking advantage of his good fortune now. Hope it kickstarts his season.
really wish CD had figured out bowling off-pace earlier, went in hard on unders watching the end of the women's game as it was obviously holding

Not sure what the point of picking Severin or Greenwood was at the moment. Or do Wellington have such dire bowling stocks that it was thought better to go with some no-rounders than, for example, McPeake.
