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

[Flem274*]

For crying out loud, Wellington. This is atrocious. Is Mark Houghton playing today?

Think so, where on earth are the Wellington specialist batsmen btw? Bowden at five, Crook at like seven. wtf?

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Yeah. Not sure what Anthony Stuart is thinking with this batting line up. Its like having eleven Ronnie Irani equivalents.

What do you think about Nevin opening? Personally I'd have just let Bell open the innings with Fleming and leave Nevin as a finisher. Franklin at 5

 

[Flem274*]

Now Woodcock. FFS at least use proper allrounders like Boam. Where are the likes of Parlane and Brodie?

Nevin can be highly destructive and on occasions having him open will pay off, but given the match situation it can certainly be described as a failure. I really don't understand why they feel the need to shuffle the order like a deck of cards.

Woodcocks been immense this season Phlegm, no way we could leave him out of the side.

Bowden, Crook though...

 

[Flem274*]

Jimmeh!

He, Fleming, O'Brien and Elliott are the gunnest Wellington players.

 

[Athlai]

James **** Yeah Franklin

Need more Jeets and Houghton in that list.

 

[Flem274*]

Patel will never make that list.

Pinga and Weston playing. Gun,

You are a bad person.

Is Macualy Calkin now a Central Dag?

 

[Flem274*]

You are a bad person.

Is Macualy Calkin now a Central Dag?

Yes and no, he's a Central Stag. Another allrounder too.

 

[Athlai]

160 isn't bad, thank goodness for Franklin and Woodcock the only decent bits and pieces players in the team.

 

[Flem274*]

Jimmy is an allrounder and Woodcock is a bowler that can bat a bit. Bits and pieces=substandard bowler and batsman like Bowden, Noema-Barnett etc

I wouldn't quite call Franklin an allrounder till he's back at his peak again. Meanwhile I'd say Woodcock is an okay bowling allrounder.

 

[Athlai]

Otago are going to be formidable this season backing them as early favorites to win.

 

[Flem274*]

The fat guy smashed that (in the hits comp). Club mate of Calkin apparently.

What kind of distances they getting?

 

[Flem274*]

What kind of distances they getting?

Mainly 60s until Fatty got 80.

Apparently Calkin is a mate of BFJ. Wonder if the three of them are pub mates?

 

[Nishan]

Strange to have Robie Shaw and not bowl him,
