NZ domestic season 2023/24

[Immenso]

This is worse call than father/uncle? Martin Sneddon's catch in 1981.

Bad call by the third umpire but White is gone anyway now. Bring in Jamal Todd.

Ollie White is almost hitting these too bad to be caught. He honestly looks awful, even by Otago standards.

At least they have the good sensibility to bring out Muller now, as he was slated to bat #11. He's in the Younghusband–Sodhi class of "useful FC bat who can't slog to save his life".

 

[Chubb]

So why isn’t Smith with the blackcaps now eh?

Well they still have plenty of overs left to get to 72 at least ...

Should have been all out for 35. Warren Lees extremely impressed by Nathan Smith.

 

[Chubb]

It has to be time for him to play for NZ.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Always annoys me when a tenth wicket partnership saves a side from total humiliation.

 

[straw man]

lol Otago

Nah. Wags foreeeeever (literally), Smith never.

Good recovery from the last pair putting some respectability back into the scorecard.

 

[King Kane]

Otago making NZ's batting performance against Bangladesh last night look like a masterclass,

 

[Bahnz]

I think it's about time that Nathan Smith had a game for New Zealand

Tim Robinson should be in the mix for an NZ call up too.

He scored a ton in his last Super Smash game and he might have scored another one today but he ran out of runs to score.

Is that all it takes for a call up these days?

I always thought Chris Gaffaney (now ICC umpire) should have been called up after hitting a Cricket Max century. I think only McMillan was the only other one to do it. Robinson's 139 was pretty special, if he maintains his form over the competition maybe he could get a spot when IPL players are away. They play some T20's in Pakistan in April so who knows.

I know it's only Super Smash form but he looks to have the technique and skills to succeed at international level in limited overs cricket.

He could be worth a go opening for NZ rather than sticking with Finn Allen who seems to be picked more on potential than performance.

Maybe if he changed his last name to Bracewell.
