It's bad enough when Cricket Wellington regularly bugger up the club cricket league tables, but that's incredibly amateur stuff from NZC.

Cantabrians are in no position to complain about regional bias.

Haha, exactly.

hey I have thought it was a good time to add alittle colour to the 4 day game, Im not trying to make it a one day uniform as I have left the uniform largely white, including pads. feed back appreciated.

Todd Astle is a big question. In my mind (not necessarily connected to the real world), it makes sense that a talented legspinner is debuted sooner rather than later. I suspect NZ domestic batsmen are not very good at playing legspin full stop... so Astle may just be picking up many of his wickets by virtue of that, and that may stall his development. It makes sense to me that he needs to start learning to bowl to batsmen who are used to playing legspin (ie. internationals), even if it runs the risk of damaging his confidence. Memo to NZ selectors - please do not debut Astle in ODIs

Todd Astle is the perfect example of why New Zealand cricket must schedule proper "A" tours as often as possible. His performances over the last two first class seasons haven't been seen by a spinner in this country for sometime, but is that down to his ability with the ball or the inability of the batsmen he's bowling too? It's definitely not something you want to risk finding out at the international level IMO.

The CD one looks good - the red ball might get lost against those canterbury colours though

.... and now let's all go and hibernate the winter away until next season.

I will still be on this site for the rugby - but will be hibernating as far as cricket chat is concerned.

lol, what a screw up. You'd think counting the number of wins a team has in a 10 round competition would be fairly easy, obviously not however.

Heh excuses. If you're in a sports team you should know how many wins you have. Pretty ******** on both counts.

 

[Chewie]

It wasn't the number of wins ND had, it was the number Canterbury had

Also crew, I think it's about time we got the 2011/2012 thread underway. I'll be moving posts around and I'll throw up the contract list and the schedule in the original post.
