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

[Smudge]

Aaron Redmond loving the Twenty20 stuff - 100 not out off 56 balls as Otago chases down 186 with five wickets and an over to spare....

 

[_Ed_]

Impressive.

Something I never thought I'd hear - "as long as Hamish Marshall is there, ND have a chance". Wow.

Flynn's playing some lovely shots though.

 

[_Ed_]

Fantastic knock this by Flynn.

 

[Athlai]

Fantastic knock this by Flynn.

Score?

 

[_Ed_]

ND are now 123-4, needing 48 from 29.

Flynn is 43. Sounds ordinary, but the guy's got some sort of leg injury and can hardly walk. It's been pretty special.

 

[_Ed_]

Haha, dreadful. ND needed 7 from 3 balls, and what does the bowler do? Full toss on leg stump. Promptly slotted into the stands.

 

[_Ed_]

!
But then two dot balls!

 

[Athlai]

Tie?

 

[_Ed_]

Yeah, super over coming up.

Bit of controversy in the match - there was a 5-ball over in ND's innings, and Canterbury ran over the allotted time but weren't penalised.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Oh dear. Apparently the umpire did a five-ball over during the Northerns innings.

Leslie will be fuming.

 

[_Ed_]

ND have chosen Trent Boult as their bowler.

The same Trent Boult who went for 40 from his four overs.

 

[_Ed_]

I get the feeling that six runs in that super over may not have been enough for ND.

 

[Smudge]

Boult looks about 15....

 

[_Ed_]

Six, four.

Well, that super over was quite one-sided.

Just watching the replay now, did anyone else hear Doull accuse Andrew Ellis of chucking (also accused Johan Botha in the process)? Jeez these commentators are poor, and hyper-negative.

 

[Athlai]

Do you have to pay anything to go to these matches? It'd be highly optimistic to expect play at the Basin today, but I only live 700m away.

Highly optimistic? It's pissing down in Petone!!


It's usually $5 or $10, I hear.

It stopped briefly in city centre before drizzling on. Bloody rain, come to Wellington and I have to wear a jacket for the first time in 4 months.

Yup i heard that piece of commentary, smith and richardson kept quiet. Awesome game though. I was looking forward to sky telecasting the game from Blake park in the mount today but probably be washed out there too

Pelting down up here in Auckland too. I'd imagine it wouldn't be too different at the Mount for the game there.

Christchurch to the rescue? What's it like down there today?
