***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2019/20

[nzfan]

Good to see Finn Allen starting to show a decent form, yes he's only scored 40 odd but improvement from previous season and also comes on the back of runs in club/Auckland A side.

Was about to write hope Jacob Bhula goes all right but he's out already :-(

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah but normalcy was never what the likes of Richard, Cribb and the early CricketWeb forum was about. The vast majority of the old posters here would feel shattered in they got 50% on a test as a kid. It'd be a shame if all that quirk was just moronically flattened and ironed out by people who probably were passing grade types, at best.

Haha this is subtly brutal in many different ways.

Worker with 99 couldn't add to his 2 100s in the recent months, ford trophy hundy and one vs India A. Rutherford and Worker pressing their case for one day selections this year. Nicholls is also among runs. I think that's it for Munro in one dayers. There is bound to be one of these guys picked up in the squad. Either of Rutherford or Worker misses out that'd be a shame.

Conway now the leading scorer in the Ford Trophy to go with leading the PS and finishing top in the Super Smash. Anyone know if any player has ever finished as the top scorer in all formats in one season?

100 for Foxcroft. I understand all the hype about Conway, but when he is eligible? He's only 21 so could play for a long time.
We might need to start having quotas of NZ born players in the Black Caps!

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I mean when is Foxcroft eligible? I'm guessing when he is 23/24

Might have been something I read here, but Conway is one of three players to score a ton in each of SS, FT and PS in the same season

Foxcroft the man today for Otago, can he be Dhoni or Bevan here. Batting on 124*, Otago still needing 92 off 52. Looks impossible but the lad could do something special here.

goddamn its good to see sears again

 

[thundaboult]

neesh and nicholls lookin good

 

[Kippax]

Not that completely dominating Buller with bat and ball really means all that much, but hopefully Thomas Zohrab does something more lofty with his cricket over the next decade, and he won't be just known as the guy with the really Rodney Redmond-looking Youth ODI record.

Anyone know much about Taylor Bettelheim who's currently batting #4 for BOP in the Hawke Cup. A quick google search seems to indicate a fairly handy schoolboy/club cricket record to date

 

[Kippax]

Yeah this looks like Bettelheim's first summer out of school. A bit like Curtis Millard, cricket may've been competing with and becoming a bit of a sideline activity to squash at times. Drysdale is still the big king in BOP premier club runs, but Bettelheim is doing alright opening for Greerton.

Brett Johnson the brother of Troy Johnson (played for Firebirds last year in super smash) is named in the side for tomorrow for Firebirds. Another HDCC lad. Can hit the ball a long way and bowls leggies.

 

[Kippax]

Oh I see he's in for Sears. That's a shame.

More to do with loads rather than injury this time around. You know these days the bowlers have loads and when they come back from injury they need to bowl enough in the nets to be able to bowl in the games. Not like in the past where you bowl as many as you like in a game as soon as you're fit.

Hmm batted five and a half hours in the end, just six fours and 108*. Even at 12, he was known for making his knocks a bit more of a marathon than most, then would dig in for consecutive tons in the next game. A product of that Te Puna academy (formerly Ben Williams') in Tauranga where KW and Boult would spend a bit of time.

Francis Payne says he'll look into whether anyone even managed the high runscorer double in New Zealand domestic before T20 began, once his schedule of games has quietened down.

 

[ataraxia]

Was hoping for a maiden hundred for Blundell; shucks. Nevertheless, a very fine innings and partnership with Neesh.

 

[nzfan]

Pretty strong Canterbury batting line up struggled against part time bowling of Firebirds. Bracewell and Bhula rolling their arm to pick up 4 wickets between them. Firebirds now place at no.3 with two more games to go. If they can get couple of wins here they may qualify for the play offs.
