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

[Polo23]

I find it funny how basically everyone on these forums was bagging on Young after his selection on the A tour. He seems to have silenced his critics a bit after a good showing in India and a century first up this season.

McIntosh is all class as well.

Derek DeBoorder > Young

Guptill > McIntosh

Because up until that NZ A score (in the singular form) he's been one of the crappiest keeper batsmen in the country.

BTW, about McIntosh: If I'm thinking of the right guy, he generally gets one big score per season and thats it. Also, he has very little technique. Basically, it would be like Matt Bell II. McIntosh from what I know would be a likely step backwards.

I'm fairly sure you've got the right guy. I think he scored 205 in one innings a few seasons ago and still ended up with an average of 30.

Yeah, and he scored 280 odd last season..though I think he backed it up last season with a few other good scores.

Tim McIntosh scored 140 today. I have liked what this guy has been doing in the last couple of years and am hopeful of an international call-up this summer.

yeah! 12 FC centuries is no joke.... He is lot more better than what we are seeing some Blackcaps Batsman...

Spot on Phlegm.

No he's not.

Canterbury are struggling at 102-6..

Thanks to A McKay...

 

[Polo23]

Fightback coming from Van Wyk and 17yo Corey Anderson. Man, this kid is going to be something special if he continues the way he has been going. I'm finding it hard to believe he is still 17.

120/6

Van Wyk 27*, Anderson 23*...both going at a run a ball.

 

[Raghav]

Anderson hits two big sixes in his 29*...

Derek DeBoorder > Young

Guptill > McIntosh

Well Guptill's injured which obviously takes him out of the frame.

I might be wrong here, but I don't really recall De Boorder ever getting any runs?

 

[Polo23]

DeBoorder averaging 35 in FC cricket

Will get a full season for Otago this season, i'm expecting big things.

Anderson top scored for Canterbury with 45 off 48 balls with 3 sixes and 3 fours. No idea why they batted him at number 8, hopefully he gets promoted as Canterbury follow on.

DeBoorder averaging 35 in FC cricket

Possibly distorted by the few first class innings he's played. Probably the reason he wasn't taken on the A tour. Although clearly the same didn't apply to Anderson and Boult.

Anderson didnt go on the A tour..though, he should have.

Yeah, he's hardly played at all, but personally having seen both play i'd rate De Boorder better.

My mistake, dunno where that came from!

Canterbury not following on? Interesting.

Yeah, strange decision for mine. Though i'm off the opinion that you always make the opposition follow on, regardless..especially in NZ where the pitches don't really break up or deteriorate a lot.

 

[Polo23]

Davidson continues to impress having McIntosh caught by Myburgh for 9.

 

[Athlai]

Hiini doing Heath proud. 7/148 match figures.

His team unfortunately will have to fight not to lose this match.

 

[Polo23]

Canterbury need 405 to win...now that's a tough ask!

I would promote Anderson to number 5. Big pressure on Papps, Fulton and Myburgh to fire at the top of the order.
