*Official* New Zealand domestic season 2022/23

Somerville bats

This was a @Prince EWS and I meme for a while, and I was never sure whether he actually meant it or not. But I didn't realise Keene can bat as well as he could - thought Auckland just had a bunch of 9s/10s from 7 onwards

 

[ataraxia]

Yeah, I know (psst he doesn't mean it iirc). Somerville did have an excellent season with the bat last year though, and has been much better since he moved from NSW.

Keene's an #8 (3 FC 50s in his short career though – has been quietly good, despite his absolute stinking bowling since career match 4), Somerville's a #9, and the other three are strong #10s, is what I'd say.

No-one I got out can bat.

Keene batted at 3 for the NZu19s. Terribly unsuccessfully, though.

CdG casually bossing Plunket is great

Well on route to the old 150 before lunch.

Hahahahahaha. The mockers gods strike again.

Is McComb now getting the Younghusband treatment at Wellington? Selected as the sole specialist spinner but comes on 6/7th change?

 

[straw man]

First FC hundred for Katene Clarke! Great hand-eye though a bit of a biffer, probably most productive Tom Bruceing it down at 6.

Geez now limited Bevan Small still gets it to really kick off a length.

And he gets Fletcher. WAG. Nice bowling. Man it sucks injury robbed him of 200 test wickets.

Follows a good Super Smash opening. Could potentially partner Finn Allen in future.

Yeah. I was expecting him to be just trundling them down.

Am I seeing Angus McKenzie's dismissal right? Looks like he smashed it back at Ajaz and it's hit either Ajaz's hands or boot at almost ground level then looped up in the air to Hay at mid off. Mckenzie stood there looking completely perplexed....

 

[kaetor]

I assume he thought it bounced but it definitely appears to be off the boot. Plunket shield dismissals strike again

 

[straw man]

I rock and rolled it and that clearly hit the ground.

We need plunket shield action in 4k, I'm never gonna be able to review better than Tim Southee unless I get some practice in while I'm meant to be working.

You severely underestimate yourself. Mr Magoo could undertake a better DRS review than Tim Southee. What was the stat under his captaincy so far. Something horrendous like 1/18.

Thus far this half Wellington've seemed reticent to bring on the 2nd spinner early (but really this is what happens when you consistently select too many pacers)
