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

Kippax wag.

Looks about the same as I remember. Does his front foot still move twice?

 

[Kippax]

No, not in this knock.

 

[Flem274*]

Good to hear.

 

[Kippax]

Bit of a Duffy comparison for Immenso.

 

[Prince EWS]

I'd go

McCullum opening with Ryder in the team, unchanged rest of lineup.

Yes, absolutely this. There's no question in my mind that your best batting lineup at the moment is Fulton, McCullum, Williamson, Taylor, Ryder, Watling, Anderson. Has very little chance of eventuating though, of course.

 

[Prince EWS]

I will break something if he makes it back into the test squad ahead of Latham.

I must say, your inability to divorce the fact that you like Latham, predict him to go on to big things etc from how much he deserves selection right now is quite frustrating at times.

He doesn't deserve selection. Jeet Raval, Michael Papps, Daniel Flynn etc are all ahead of him in my opinion.

But Guptill deserves selection less than most domestic openers in the country.

 

[straw man]

Hrmmm, four more wickets for Bennett. Looks to be bowling well

Ryder's bowling actually looked quite handy too.

150 up for Guppy. Fults will be getting nervous.

Not sure if it includes this match, but guess who is currently number two in the Shield runs with an average of 96?

edit: it does

 

[Athlai]

Will be good to have Guptill back in the team. We'll hold more catches for one.

 

[Flem274*]

Declaration 100 behind from Auckland. Obviously back themselves to skittle ND. Guptill is on a bit of a roll with the runs so maybe they could have gone for the lead. Dunno, will be interesting to see how it all pans out.

[Athlai]

Wait how long has Neil Broom opened? Is every half decent FC bat in NZ trying to get in the team via the opening spots now?

 

[Flem274*]

Since the A tour. And yup, they're all trying. Carl Chops to be the next imo.

 

[Athlai]

I look forward to Franklin's 2015 recall as a Test opener.

 

[straw man]

Horrible dismissal for Raval on SH1roadage

 

[Athlai]

Raval is a myth.

[straw man]

I haven't seen enough of him to work it out myself so I guess there's no choice but to trust in Athlai . Enjoying your support of Guptill's return as test opener - he should move to Wellington to really follow in the mediocre footsteps of Franklin and Jeets.

 

[Athlai]

God I'd love that.
