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

Cumming was saying on the radio that the NZ cricket awards are tonight and awards will cover the England away series to the just finished india series.
Went to the black caps website could not find a mention…. Good job NZC.
Here are the last held awards New Zealand Cricket - Guptill takes top honour at 2012 ANZ Cricket Awards which were cleaned up by, M Guptill and Bracewell,
I recall hearing Eric Young say that they moved the timing of them so the BC were in the country.
But the net affect of this is:
1) An entire summer of cricket is ignored, players like Fulton miss out of a Redpath cup which they really deserve.
2) They are having the awards in the middle of the Mens FC domestic season, the women’s international cricket tour; the awards are about Cricket in NZ not the top 20 players.

Anyway back to the positives, the battle for test player of the year will be quite a fight with Taylor, McCullum, Boult and Southee all deserving.
Tom Latham could also threaten McCullum/Taylor for the Redpath cup.

Really wish Small would stay off the park until he's properly good to go. "I'm having to make some action changes". How about just staying off the park until you can actually bowl properly, ****.

I can't remember how that Jizz in my Pants song goes, but I'd add a line: 'Lord Colin flicked one off his legs for six and I..'

Get the man a plane ticket to the Caribbean.

hmm, unsure how much Auckland would shoot up once they lose, seeing how they are already one up on Otago and all that.

Yeah I may wait until Papps and Blundell beat Otago on Sunday, "throwing the competition wide open" (according to Monday's Dom Post, except not really).

J-O-B...just over broke. Not genuinely broke, with things reaching a really calamitous intervention point. A little group of Wellingtonians is rarely quite that extreme. 4th out of 6 is the go.

I might bet on you at $1.92 there, ND. Try not to collapse against Quinn, CdG and Grobbelaar.

In the only change for the Heinrich Malan-coached Stags, Roald Badenhorst comes in for batsman Greg Hay.

Assistant coach/manager Lance Hamilton said yesterday in keeping with a six-batsmen, five-bowler split including wicketkeeper Kruger van Wyk, a seamer or spinner was likely to carry the drinks.


Last round's 12th man, Dane Cleaver, is playing but CD's problems are compounded with captain Kieran Noema-Barnett unable to bowl because of a groin injury.

With Bracewell injured and Carl Cachopa still nursing a hamstring, there's a dearth of allrounders who can bowl 10 overs.

"Carl is likely to join the squad when we fly straight from Christchurch to Auckland [on Monday] for the next round [against the Aces at Eden Park on Wednesday]," Hamilton said.
CANTERBURY: Peter Fulton (c), Tom Latham (wk), George Worker, Dean Brownlie, Rob Nicol, Henry Nicholls, Andy Ellis, Simon Keen, Ryan McCone, Hamish Bennett, Matt McEwan, Todd Astle.

CD STAGS: Jamie How, Ben Smith, William Young, Kieran Noema-Barnett (c), Kruger van Wyk (wk), Dane Cleaver, Tarun Nethula, Seth Rance, Andrew Mathieson, Marty Kain, Bevan Small.
Spinner Nathan McCullum and all-rounder Jimmy Neesham have joined the Black Caps for the ICC world twenty20 in Bangladesh later this month.

They have been replaced by Mark Craig and Sam Blakely. Craig is a regular starter in the first-class side but Blakely is a rookie.

He has played just the one one-day game for Otago and that was at the end of last summer. He took two for 57 against Canterbury. The 20-year-old took a break from training with the Volts earlier in the summer to concentrate on his studies. Upon returning he picked up a few injuries.

''It is only really now that he has been at 100% all summer,'' King said.

''But he has been training hard over the last couple of weeks and he is ready to play.''

Blakely, whose sister Caitlin plays for the Otago Sparks, has been troubled by an ankle, an elbow and a shoulder complaint. They have all been niggly injuries rather than anything serious.

Experienced batsman Neil Broom this week joined the swollen injury list which includes James McMillan and Jacob Duffy. He missed the match against Northern because of a sore knee and it is unclear how long he will be sidelined.

There is some relief in sight with seamer Ian Butler expected to play club cricket for University-Grange today.

Butler had a lumbar injection last month to help with inflammation and pain. He has been bowling in the nets but needs to get his workload up before being considered for Otago. He has been sidelined since the opening game of the summer.
Otago: Aaron Redmond, Hamish Rutherford, Michael Bracewell, Ryan ten Doeschate, Jesse Ryder, Sam Wells, Derek de Boorder (captain), Mark Craig, Neil Wagner, Bradley Scott, Nick Beard, Sam Blakely.
Wellington: James Franklin (captain), Brent Arnel, Tom Blundell, Grant Elliott, Mark Gillespie, Andy McKay, Steve Murdoch, Michael Papps, Jeetan Patel, Matt Taylor, Luke Woodcock, Henry Walsh.

Sounds like a great game at the Basin, the former NZ openers Papps & Redmond making 90's for their respective sides, good supporting innings from Murdoch & Blundell. Bracewell continuing his good form and some big hitting from Wells but Otago finish agonisingly short.

Also, good to see O'Donnell get a game for Auckland.
