2024–25 NZ domestic season

[jcas0167]

Williamson's first first class game for ND since 2019. Probably the last he will play with Southee and Wagner too. Nice article about it and having Watling as his coach:

“It is special,” Williamson said. “This is where Tim and I have grown up, coming through the ranks here. And you always feel an ND man... you always follow it pretty closely. So it is nice when you have the opportunity to play.”

Not sure what the go is with Nick Greenwood. He was down to bat 4, but now coming in below van Beek. Wellington have a long tail, so it's odd to pick a batsman to do this. Seems a straight swap of Younghusband and Greenwood in the batting order... Unless the scorecard's wrong.

Probably mistake online by the scorers
.
I did notice the order of the 12 at bottom of the scorecard didn't match what the online scoring started with.

Or absent injured.

Another thing I have got in a huff about this morning, probably has a sensible explanation.

5 wicket haul for Paul!

The slow play from CD hasn't worked. Or it's a dastardly deck.

 

[Bahnz]

Paul certainly has a very nice action, smooth and repeatable. Not exactly a like for like, but shades of young Doug Bracewell.

 

[lockton2skipper]

Cam Paul has a lovely bowling action .

 

[Howsie]

He’s apparently a good bat too. Not in the class of Foulkes but good enough to be a top class 8 in test cricket. Yeah test cricket was already brought up in regards to him..

Jamieson, Henry, Foulkes, Shipley, Sheat, Paul, Rowe, Rae and Davey. Need to seriously spread some of that bowling talent out a little bit

Plus O'Rourke, Nuttall, and McKenzie!

Plus O'Rourke, Nuttall, and McKenzie!

Whoops, how did I leave out O’Rourke. I always thought the talent both ND and CD managed to muster around that 2008-2010 period would be hard to do again but Canterbury have smashed it out of the water here. Good on them.

New Canterbury opener Scott Janett's boundaries feature another debutant, Tyler Annand. Annoying that rain is delaying the Akl v ND game. It would be good to see how Dixit goes. His one boundary looks like a good pull shot off Wagner.

Didn't realise Popli and Williamson were teammates at Tauranga Boys'.

That brought about a special moment for Williamson, with Bharat Popli’s entrance to the crease, the pair batting together for the first time in the Plunket Shield, some years on from having been team-mates in the same year at Tauranga Boys’ College and through the Bay of Plenty rep ranks.

Mariu 100

 

[ataraxia]

Matt Boyle was on 99 before tea and CD brought on his brother to bowl

He got to his century.

 

[jcas0167]

Fantastic catch by Pomare to dismiss Sunde. Jacobs is probably better trying to smash it rather than leaving deliveries.

 

[ataraxia]

Mariu appears to be suffering from a severe case of anti-second-season syndrome.

Johnson caught Mycock

Edit: oops wrong website

Mariu 200

 

[Bahnz]

200 up for Mariu!

 

[ataraxia]

He's got a decent shot at a triple tbh – hope he doesn't declare on himself.

Mariu appears to be suffering from a severe case of anti-second-season syndrome.

It his 3rd season. Not that he's ever played a full season, though.

 

[ataraxia]

Oh yeah, thought he played all 8 last season rather than just playing the autumn halves of each. Not a bad effort in his first pre-Christmas Plunket game anyway!

 

[Immenso]

He was left out of the Canterbury 11 last week. With Latham available (opening with Bowes).
