I can't find the highest List A score from a #8 bat but the record in ODIs is just 100 lol.136 for Van Beek coming in at number 8

Yeah, we've had rain in Thorndon and it's pretty gloomy out there. Was surprised to see they were playing. Van Beek presumably was fired up after that Super Smash final over last week.
Surprised Robinson is still missing - I assumed he had a minor injury but he's been out for a few weeks now.

Apparently CD were quite a long way ahead of the Duckworth Lewis par score of 74. Which makes Smith pulling out of his run up and wides off the last two balls a bit dodgy!

O'Rourke is really showing the difference in improvement rate between himself (and guys like Henry, KJ, Ferguson before him) and the guys we were playing last season (Kuggs, Tickner, Duffy).
The latter can and have bowled good test spells, but in 10 seasons they have rarely stamped their name on a season like an O'Rourke, Henry or Ferguson already have at such young ages.
Henry Shipley needs to return from injury, force his way into a strong Canterbury side, and at age 27 show he is ready immediately.

Given he debuted as an opening bat in first class cricket the sky really is the limit for him. He really should get the O’Rourke treatment and pushed into the NZ sooner then later
Definitely think he’s passed Smith as an option already

Got to temper it a bit that I think a few Foulkes LBWs to the RHBs would suffer from DRS reviews, once that is put under the spotlight at the higher level.
But, he's also got a fair few bowleds.
Not doubting his effectiveness to LHBs though. Would expect that effectiveness to transfer to test level with little trouble.

Hmmm...might've debuted as an opening bat but his domestic batting numbers are nothing to suggest he's being picked as anything other than a bowler. Nathan Smith has an FC hundred and 9 50s, and a few in List A. I'd think Smith is still ahead. Not saying at all that Foulkes might end up being the better international option long-term.
Absolutely. We've talked about trying to replace Trent as a left-armer, but it would be a similar point of difference to have a guy who brings it back into RHers/away from LHers.
