*Official* NZ Domestic Season

[Kiwi]

Great to see Pete McGlashan getting a few more runs as well. There lower order has really lead the wayin the first matches

 

[Tim]

I've heard good reports about this guy Geoff Barnett from C.D. Tall, lefty..has all the shots. Could form a good opening partnership with Jamie How, if things click this season.

 

[Tim]

Looks like Sherlock could be getting a bowl very soon in the Canterbury vs Auckland match.

 

[shaka]

why does Matt Horne continue to play cricket at first class level?

Did he bowl,How'd he go ?

 

[Tim]

2/41 from 11 overs...not bad.

 

[_Ed_]

Ross Taylor got 60 I see, hopefully the start of a good season.

 

[Tim]

yeah 86 & a 60...Taylor's problem has been his lack of consistency so touch wood he gets it going this season.

It's good to see both Ryder & Taylor scoring runs and also good to see Jamie How score 86 today too.

 

[Ming]

Some reporters really don't have a clue about domestic cricket. A NZ Herald report said, "medium-pacer Sherlock...."

Anyone who follows domestic cricket would know that Sherlock is a quickie.

 

[Tim]

yeah I thought that was quite funny. Dayle Hadlee reckons he's a 150+ km bowler so the reporter obviously doesn't follow domestic cricket that much anyway.

 

[Tim]

I don't like the look of the fact that Sherlock has bowled 15.3 overs and Nixon McLean has bowled 13.3 overs..so someone must have been injured.

Not a good sign.

Matthew Sinclair bowling???

O : M : R : W
15 : 3 : 45 : 0

Its McLean that is injured

Well, that match is dead anyway. BJ Watling on his way to a century. Go the young Yaapie lad.

 

[Ming]

Surely the QE2 pitch isn't that green for Wiseman to be used as a 7th bowler?

 

[Blakey]

Yeah Sherlock bowled the extra three balls from Mcleans over. I noticed that reporter called Sherlock a medium pace bowler also. Anyone seen him bowl and how fast he is?

Hope this season he is injury free.

Notice David is getting limited spells also - is this a premeditated request from the Academy - so the young bowlers aren't flogged? Again anyone seen this kid bowl - any comments on him?

Macca - why do they keep on keeping on with him. Surely even a newby couldn't perform as consistently poorly as he has.

 

[Right arm fast]

marshall h 4 and 0
marshall j 7 and 2

disgusting hopefully they don't get picked

 

[Tim]

Bracewell dug himself a hole the other day when he was speaking to Deaker. The Marshall brothers are totally out of form, so surely they need a break from the Black Caps.

And you'd think McMillan is on the thin ice too, with Astle not too far behind. I suppose Astle's ODI record is what is saving him right now.

I think they've got to bring a couple of fresh faces in. They're not really losing anything because 3 of the top order batsmen aren't scoring runs anyway.

There is even a question mark whether Fulton will make the ODI team because I read somewhere that they believe he is only a test option. Despite the fact that he has one of the better OD records in domestic cricket and that he can also score quite quickly.

I think Ryder & Taylor would be too similar to bring in. I think they need to bring in Ryder & Fulton because Fulton has around 4 or 5 FC seasons behind him now and he is a proven run-scorer over the last 3 years.

 

[Blaze]

Tim I disagree about Fulton and Ryder being similar. Taylor is in the Andrew Symonds mould IMO whereas Ryder is more conventional. I could be wrong but that is what I think from what I have seen/heard/read.

 

[Blakey]

Sherlock claimed a wicked already. Wish we could get commentary with these games - online, such as with cricinfo.
