Is 35, but fair point that if you wanted a fill-in for a couple of matches he would be an option.

The main disadvantage of not having Rutherford might have been that Foxcroft seemed reluctant to bowl himself even though the seamers got smashed. His one over went for 5.
Great catch here from Dale Phillips.

Cole McConchie seems like such a good guy. Feel sorry for him even though I wanted ND to win. Santner is such a dominant all-round figure at this level. Joe Carter is becoming a bit of surprise Super Smash gun. Katene Clarke might be a future Black Cap - stepped up big time in the play off with Otago and again in the final. Nice to see Seifert back in form.

Shipley with 2fer and 35* from 20 aswell. Still think it's a crime that the blackcaps didn't give him a game in the T20 series vs India but played Jim in the odi's.

I see Central Districts v Auckland has been abandoned. Was scheduled for McLean Park.
There are far more important things in life at the moment, for people of many districts, than cricket.
But, at the same time, I'm very cynical about the effort that NZC put in to many parts of their job. Therefore I don't think they should get a free ride 'hiding behind' the cyclone. Obviously Napier is out of the question. But, CD is a big geographical association with 3 other FC venues and about another 3 Hawke Cup quality venues as well. Or, there is the play it at neutral Lincoln option.
If we still had a cricket media, I wonder what the answers would be if asked the question "did you even try?".
I wouldn't care so much if the season was still 10 rounds long, but it isn't. Players' careers & opportunities get stunted when you remove 12.5% of their season because it 'involves some admin' to arrange something else.

I dunno immenso - probably depends how many of the CD squad have been personally impacted by it - something which the location of the match is really not relevant too.
But I am a cynic, so I share your cynicism as well.

They have rescheduled a couple of Ford Trophy games, including the final to their credit ... might be easier with a one day match compared to four days, too.

I mean, part of the recovery is picking yourself back up so that the economy etc functions. Tough decisions needed to be made in that area about allocating water and generator resources between the clean-up or restarting processing plants etc.
I don't think NZC had overly tough decisions to make, although the CDCA is actually based in Napier, so I don't want to go too gung-ho. I'll give them a break based on the communications outages. So, CDCA and NZC sorting this would have been hard.

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Postponing it until March or April much like they did with Auckland's lockdown games, makes much more sense.

haven't rescheduled – merely cancelled (edit: postponed). Will probs take place at the end of the season.

And so it starts the experiement of making turning decks and playing 3 spinners in the squads. Appreciate the initative but then Bracewell bowled all of 7 or 8 overs today. So much for trying to promote and encourage spinners. Ajaz Patel and Ish Sodhi already out of the squad. How is this going to help unless you have captains that can bowl spinners at the next level? Also making pitches at international level where there is abolutely no help for spinners. At the drop of the hat we will produce green seamers.
