2024–25 NZ domestic season

[ataraxia]

Latham at wide slip and Mitchell at short third is a funny thing to see in a domestic T20. Sensible though.

Hopefully we get more action from Cleaver the ballerina this innings.

Kyle Jamieson currently destroying CD.

 

[Bahnz]

Those are some beautiful figures for KJ. Please stay fit!

 

[Skyliner]

They need to manage KJ very, very carefully. Him and O’Rourke bowling in tests together will be a frightening prospect for other teams.

Is shipley injured again? Missed a few games in a row.

 

[Howsie]

Maybe just not making the team with 5 other NZ bowlers in the XI

Crazy bowling attack. You’d think it would have to be the best domestic attack in the world behind NSW.

 

[ataraxia]

Yeah Shipley's been 12th man for these games.

Yeah, 2nd or 3rd. Durham have got Wood, Carse, Potts, Robinson, and Stokes

 

[ataraxia]

Eh I think Canterbury's pace attack is better than Durham's. Durham have four test-class bowlers but Henry and O'Rourke are better than them all and Jamieson's on a similar level. Meanwhile the depth they have is just astronomical: Foulkes, Shipley, Sheat, Rae, McKenzie, Davey, Nuttall, Paul, and Rowe are all good.

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah, 2nd or 3rd. Durham have got Wood, Carse, Potts, Robinson, and Stokes

Stole my thunder

I'm very excited about the future of the NZ pace bowling scene. A lot of desirable profiles coming through with the right attributes. Sears, jamieson, o'rourke, shipley, fisher are all tall, some of them can push a speedgun and most have troublesome bounce. Radar is ok too.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

As a leggie I'd definitely still take Sodhi and Ashok before Younghusband – not least because he's almost 35 – but come to think of it he could be a very outside chance for the backup spin slot on the Zimbabwe tour. Given that he was born in Harare, is a handy FC bat, and a terrific fielder.

also is a spitting image of Rob Lowe

there also seems to be a developing willingness by the selectors to take more of a punt as shown by the selection of Sears straight out of injury. If a guy bowls quick, moves it, and can prove fitness then don't **** around.

A clear case of 'face blindness'. He looks closer to Steve Carrell than Rob Lowe.

Yeah, we wasted Lockies prime before finally debuting him in 40 degrees. Not an error to repeat.

 

[Bahnz]

Lol, Rachin got ripped off there, absolutely salmon.

other thing that probably injures foreign quicks in aus is the hard ground. Higher impact forces.

can auckland please stop trying to make O'Donnell bowling a thing

can auckland please stop trying to make O'Donnell bowling a thing

If you start a facebook page with this as its title, I will follow it. He bowls filth.

 

[ataraxia]

I think it's very funny and could serve as impetus for Kiwi batters to learn how to play spin in T20s. Auckland are relying on troll part-time spin rather than picking bowlers. A shame for Delport, though.
