2024–25 NZ domestic season

[Immenso]

Chapman playing on cheat-mode at the moment.

Decent effort by proper tail enders Snedden and Dudding to get Wellington to a mediocre total. And two more of those wonderful 9-down declarations.

EDIT: Looks like Clarkson must have picked up an injury.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

So Dudding is actually a genuinely good domestic FC cricketer now?

Major loss for nominitive determinism if so

In fairness the brief crack at the openers certainly worked out for Otago. Not entirely sure it's advisable, though, given how frequent annoying 10th-wicket partnerships are in the PS.

Yeah he was crap for CD but he's been Wellington's best bowler this season IMO. Hey maybe he wasn't actually crap for CD – I wasn't really paying attention; I just assumed as much.

 

[Flem274*]

He's really slow but he gets huge bounce. Situationally a pain in the arse to face I expect.

 

[Immenso]

Nah. He was good for CD too. And if you like ***y swing bowling wickets then Dudding last season was a banker for a worthwhile click in the online scorecard.

I can't say I saw a massive amount of him (was mainly relying on what I saw of his "highlights" back then on the NZC website, which really isn't a good way to judge cricketers) but he looked miles off FC standard, both slow and inaccurate. But from what I have seen he looks a fair bit better now, still not rapid but has better control and can get some good movememt back in to the RHB

 

[Immenso]

I will be sad if Jacobs gets entirely sucked into a T20 vortex.

Unlike the flailing batspeed guys like Finnallen-Gurk, this guy has an actual game.

 

[Flem274*]

Dudding is good to watch ball by ball on a bouncy deck. I remember a one day game where his deliveries looked like Oram/Holder.

He provides the Dudding, he's not the Duddee.

 

[Neil Young]

Just how golden is Georgeson's arm?

Otago's very own Shane Watson.

 

[ataraxia]

Otago trolling here. Georgeson finally taken off, then Gibson replaced after one over by Cumming's sub-military mediums. Kristian Clarke meanwhile putting his teammates to shame with the bat.

 

[Bahnz]

Chapman with a decent sniff of a triple here if the lower order can hang with him

 

[Bahnz]

Chapman 274*

@Flem274*

 

[Bahnz]

Lol, Rae's body language upon dismissing Chapman. Universally understandable as "Thank **** that's over."

 

[ataraxia]

****ing knock that. Hardly a terrible bowling lineup: it's Canterbury after all. Scarcely believable how well he was seeing it.

 

[ataraxia]

In other news:



Nightwatchman absolutely embarassing a strong ND batting lineup.

 

[Bahnz]

Another hundred and 1000 first class runs for Mariu in his 10th game. How long till we find him a place in the test side? Maybe give him a taste on the winter Zimbabwe tour?
