**Official** New Zealand Domestic Season 2013/2014

[Howsie]

Howsie was excited about Brad Wilson tbh, but Carter's a definite chance of giving him a seventh ND Black Cap in a Test XI, one day.

**** off I was.

 

[Kippax]

Nah Howsie wasn't tbf. Predicted a 'most improved' 40+ season for him or something, but also posted this in 2011 -

I'm still scratching my head over the selection of Luke Woodcock tbh, the selectors are nuts if they see him as a test match option. He's probably the fourth best all rounder playing for Wellington at the moment in the longer form of the game. Really can't work that one out.

Brad Wilson much the same too. He's improved a lot as a domestic batsmen over the past three seasons and obviously had a bit of a breakthrough season last year but if you just watched him bat for 15 minutes you'd see he's pretty unlikely to make the step up with such a lazy and poor technique at the international level - But I guess this is what these types of tournaments are for right?

Carter just needs to start turning these starts into ton's and a big one every now and then.

Hell of a start to the first class career though, 8 matches, 13 innings, averaging 48.5 with the bat. 5 times past 50 in 13 innings, but as of yet no hundreds.

Rance getting 7 wickets

Edited to 6 now. Looks like he's bowling about 120ks... horrible edges from Canterbury's openers.

Great wrong'un from Nethula to bowl Nicol.

 

[GingerBreadMan]

How did Gaylard bowl?

 

[Meridio]

Hmm, odd little leg-side shuffle of the back foot as the ball is delivered. Off-side dominant player maybe? Looking to stay leg side of the ball and hit through cover?

How did Gaylard bowl?

Hit a line and length 50% of the time the filter says, but doesn't look too incisive, no swing back in.

Very strong through midwicket has always been my impression itbt.

For those who didn't hear it, Doull hearing from someone he wouldn't name that the Duke might be introduced into the Plunket Shield.

No explanation of why though, was threre?

 

[Kippax]

Well there's the cheaper cost for one, NZC love a balance sheet consideration. There's all these ball changes. Also Edgar was letting known his concern in an interview earlier in the season about the lack of worthwhile batting examinations he was seeing in the PS.

 

[GingerBreadMan]

That would trickle down to club cricket too, I'm assuming? Would make it a tad beneficial for the associations

So very happy that someone out there is reading my posts and having a word in Doull's ear.

I really don't like to see that back foot step to leg in the trigger movement - yuck. He may still score well on the legside but will be playing across his front pad and will get into trouble that way against better bowlers, and likely to lead to problems against the short ball as well.

 

[Bahnz]

Raval making a late and probably vain attempt to remind the selectors of his existence.

 

[Blain]

Batting at 4... hmmm. Nice to see though.

 

[straw man]

Against an Otago attack with no Wagner, no Neesham and Duffy presumably injured after bowling 1 over. On that note - how often has that happened this season? Ridiculous.
