2024–25 NZ domestic season

[NZTailender]

A few interesting changes for this round. Freddy Walker dropped for Gulati; debuts for 20yo Otago left-arm seamer Thomas O'Connor and 22yo Auckland batter Nathan Robinson. Jack Boyle dropped after a poor FC season. Stackpole opening.

Thomas any relation to Shayne?

Son...and Shayne is match referee for his son's debut

Jacob Cumming has a new high score in his 41st FC innings! It's 62. Get an attention span bro.

I reckon Dean Foxcroft is the worst 'leaver of the field' in NZ domestic cricket, he always looks completely pissed off when given out, and throws his head skywards in astonishment, usually LB of course, but today is another example when caught behind off Toole

I there is an interview with Foxcroft about his 28 months stuck outside NZ during COVID-19. It's impressive he returned after all that but he hasn't really dominated as much as he looked like doing at one stage. He's probably fallen behind in the pecking order with the emergence of Jacobs and obviously missed selection for the T20's against Pakistan. His off-spin makes him a handy all-round option though so I suspect he'll remain in the frame.

Very keen to see O'Connor as a left arm quick, especially as Schreuder hasn't made it through to CD's team yet.

Abbas' left arm seamers have improved a lot, will be a handy skill if he can kick on with the bat.

Who needs Gulati's spin when you have... Jeet Raval

 

[ataraxia]

Jeets 3-fa. Looks like it'll be a spin-dominated match in Auckland.

151 today. I'm trying to think of some other 18 yr old batsmen who have debuted in recent times. Maybe Jacob Cumming. Kane obviously debuted when he was still 17. Going further back I think Taylor, Ryder, McMillan and McCullum debuted at 18.

Oh and Corey Anderson was only 16 when he made his FC debut.

Watched Schreuder a bit the other day in the CD A game. Looked to have a nice repeatable action but quite short for a fast bowler.

First class games have match referees?

Wellington in dire need to find an opening batsman with the surname Holding to partner with Mycock. Would be the greatest opening combo since Salman Butt and Imran Farhat.

Either get Mike Slurping in from the J'ville 1Cs or just recruit Jacob Cumming.

Oh and Corey Anderson was only 16 when he made his FC debut.

Crazy to think he played his last match for NZ at 27, 7 years ago, and is 34. I guess his domestic debut at 16 made it feel like he was indeed around for an age

For this short, left arm, South African born fast bowler, how red does his face get when he bowls?

Ia Luke Georgeson injured? Hasn't featured in Otagos team since super smash ended, and he was captain.
