NZ domestic season 2023/24

[Athlai]

Sumo neither pays attention to the game nor knows anything about it. He can't even perform his role and be excited on the big moments: often takes ages to get excited about a six (or indeed a wicket, but he's so shouty I instinctively mute him when he does get excited anyway).

But the worst part is just how he makes **** up. It's appalling.

I reckon the worst is how he constantly forgets who is batting or bowling. That really is the bare minimum

Peter Younghusband is the most manly looking spinner I have seen in my life. Look at that jawline.

 

[Athlai]

Younghusband's stats don't even make sense to me haha. So good this season but perpetually flying under the radar

 

[Flem274*]

Cheating Direbirds!

 

[The Hutt Rec]

He has very good control compared to some/most other leggies in NZ.

 

[straw man]

I like how Sears always looks like he just got out of bed after an all night diet-coke fuelled LAN party.

 

[ataraxia]

Yeah Younghusband's gun. (Except today, for some reason.)

 

[ataraxia]

On the other hand, Bowes is ****.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

All hail Macewell's #BigMitts

I went to the scorecard of Younghusband's FC debut and I completely forgot Canterbury still have Shipley on the books.

They're hoovering up literally every bowler in the country. Knowing domestic teams, if they ever get a full strength line up they'll definitely play them all and pull a Milne #7 if not a 00s Medium Pacer #5.

 

[straw man]

I know they often say the boundary catcher didn't need to move... But Macewell genuinely did not need to move there.

 

[Flem274*]

That was a grim knock whenever he was facing Sears.

All hail Macewell's #BigMitts

That young allrounder might have a future as a wicketkeeper batsman if the spin bowling doesn't work out.

Won't even need gloves with those buckets.

 

[ataraxia]

van Beek should be playing as a batting all-rounder in this lineup imo

 

[Flem274*]

The equation is still fine but they need one of the young boys in the engine room to put his hand up for NZ honours today.

 

[straw man]

That was a really good over from Rachin, especially the first three balls

He's unfortunate to be kiwi and not Big 3 scum. Solid T20 player and has a habit of winning matches for the Dutch against much stronger opponents. If he was Australian he would get a gig in the random mercenary leagues like all their journeymen.

BJ 'Ridley' Jacobs imo

tbf they did choose the right balance today, rightly choosing to leave Rippon out.

But something like

Latham
Foulkes
Nicholls
Mitchell
McConchie
MJ Hay
Shipley
Jamieson
Sodhi
Henry
O'Rourke

is definitely happening some time.

Conway ffs

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Conway can't get anything right atm.
