2024–25 NZ domestic season

Hay standing up to the stumps to Foulkes, who isn't half slow and bowls short heaps. If that's reflective of his keeping skills...

 

[Bahnz]

10fer for Younghusband!

 

[ataraxia]

I honestly think Hay's keeping up to the stumps solely to troll NZ selectors who are looking at Chu's knock. Foulkes is bowling bouncers with regularity and I'm amazed that none of them have gone for byes yet.

 

[ataraxia]

Well, that's a 656-ball 7th-wicket partnership ended.

 

[Bahnz]

Gotta question ND's tactics with this go-slow approach. They're still going to be 30-odd behind when CD get the 2nd new ball.

Incredibly slow scoring from ND

Yeah I don't get it. Sure, Randall, Toole and Ajaz are pretty hard to score off at the best of times, but just 146 off 80 overs is extreme. Playing for the draw from a long way out, it seems.

'Central Stags allrounder Will Clark proved deadly with the bat and ball in the Plunket Shield match against Northern Districts at the weekend.
The 23-year-old has written himself into New Zealand's first-class cricket record books after joining a very short list of players to have celebrated their maiden five-wicket bag and maiden first-class century in the same match. Stepping up in the absence of injured Josh Clarkson, Clark captured 5-62 with the ball on the opening day and also raced to his maiden century, 109 off 130 balls, in the second day (Sunday) of the Plunket Shield match against Northern Districts at Bay Oval in Mt Maunganui.'

Nice, have been impressed watching Clark in Super Smash too. Great to see him kick on at first class level.

Georgeson trying to usurp Hampton as premier medium-pace-engine-roomer in the competition.

Though really, Solia a level above now that he opens the batting and is making a success of it. Pretty impressive - 232 runs out of the 515 scored by Auckland this match.

 

[Neil Young]

Solia over Mariu would just depress me further. I'm not convinced by Mariu (looking at limited highlights) but I can't argue with the numbers he's posting.

 

[straw man]

wasn't suggesting Solia should open for NZ btw

Interesting 3rd 4th innings at EPOO.

After same first innings scores, yesterday Auckland were cruising at 1-121 but crumbled to Macewell, all out 186.

Chasing 187 to win Wellington looking good five minutes ago at 1-96, now 3-98.

 

[Neil Young]

Severin this PS season: 4, 1, 8, 7, 1, 2, 11, 2

Ouch.

Nick Kelly will see us home.

Stupid effort from Georgeson and the Otago tail today to keep this engine room going and make a game of it. Canterbury need 300 to win. Unfortunately Chu's got a concussion and will be subbed for by Bradley Kneebone as keeper.

Looks like Duffy may've broken one of Mariu's fingers

That can't be a real name.

He's of Asian heritage mate.

He's continued to bat after lunch, so hopefully not.

 

[ataraxia]

Look at Raval's ton-getting single, frame-by-frame. Christ that was close to run out, which would have been an absolute travesty for ND.

Kelly out to Ashok for 32, bowled trying to slog. Delport now has Wellington's 6th wicket. 21 runs to win but if Abbas gets out soon are we heading to tied 1st innings, tied match ???
