*Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

Bhula still in the Wellington line-up. He really has to start repaying this faith in him soon. Obviously hope he can turn it around, but still question his continued selection on his current form!

Yeah, surely this'll be his final game...

I thought that after the last one.

Curtis Heaphy replacing B Smith for CD.

Sounds very promising.

Wagner bowling 6 consecutive maidens as his new ball spell is great

 

[straw man]

Wonder why no Fisher for ND

 

[Immenso]

Maybe the pitch didn't suit having a 4th change bowler that quick?

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Wellington's batting line-up excelling yet again. Bhula getting run out... sigh.

 

[Kippax]

Haha yes, I thought of you when I saw the Charlie Brown dismissal today from Bhula.

When you look at how good his List A bowling stats are, could they be picturing Bhula as their new Macewell? It could be one of those indiscriminately commodified selections, a lot like when you get a replacement product in an online grocery order. 'I'm afraid your selected product Macewell is unavailable. Here's an alternative who's even more unreliable with the bat, but does theoretically turn the ball away from a left-hander'.

Yes well, he shouldn't be a 4th change, Fisher is obvious quality and should probably be the second bowler picked after Wagner.

Yeah, I was bring facetious.

Bugger me. This also explains why Nick Greenwood was batting 7 in game one. I think you’re on to something here.

Edit: The unfortunate flaw being that both are too young to adequately replace Bracewell. Though, perhaps let them fail now with view to them succeeding in a decade or so?

Yeah, I was bring facetious.

heh, wasn't sure either way

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

McComb with 4-0-4-4 in the Wellington T20 Club Final.

Pretty unusual figures to go for exactly one run per over in a T20.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Loving Tickner's dismissal of Carter btw. Very tasty.

 

[Howsie]

Kristian Clarke just misses out on his third first class 50, that to go along with another 3fer. The next Nathan Smith probably just a few km’s quicker. He’ll be playing for New Zealand within two years no doubt about it.

 

[Binkley]

A pair for Will Young opening, nicking Wagner off to the keeper in the second innings, after nicking to first slip off Kuggs in the first. A total of 11 balls faced.

 

[kaetor]

Not convinced of the 'nicking' of that second innings

Carter absolutely stunned that Tickner swung the ball and so am I.
