***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2008/09

What did you have in mind when you started the season?
Low to mid 20s in the wickets column by now, although it is a bit hard to grab any wickets for yourself when you've got Michael Bates and Daryl Tuffey opening the bowling!

But yea, I hoped/expected to be right up around the leading wicket takers.

Well one of the top run scorers and a handy amount of wickets is still a hell of a showing!
Yea but I'm not going to get a shot at 1st class cricket this season if I'm a batsman who can bowl a bit. Hitchcock, Croft (don't get me started) and De Grandhomme already fill that exact role. My only chance was as a good 1st change bowler who's also a handy middle order batsman. I'm not putting up the numbers in club cricket this year to do that.

Oh well, I suppose there's always hope.

Where are you on the list Jimmy? I had a look but I don't know your name and couldn't see Jimmy anywhere. Lol

Hmm, I'd be lieing if I said that watching Bracewell and Boam playing first class cricket hasn't made me consider the sunny life in Napier (or wherever) a few times this season!:laugh:
Yeah but there's always next season.

Canterbury could use some decent players too.

Whoa. That's impressive Man. 50 with the bat and 20 with the ball? Only thing better would be a bit better stats with the ball but that is still Damn impressive

Yea exactly. Youngy seems like he's been around forever and he was older than I am when he debuted.

At the moment I'm just sort of concentrating on getting some good club stats up my sleeve, then head overseas during the winter for some more cricket. Then hopefully I'll be in major contention at the start of this season. There've been whispers that I might have a chance for the T20s later on, I guess I'll just have to wait and see though.:dry:
