*Official* NZ Domestic Season

[Natman20]

Trott has really been the suprise package of NZ domestic this season. He has a great future in international cricket if he can carry that form on overseas.

Im loving the batting NZ has available now and it shows that we havea batting future after the world cup. Bowling is another matter though.

Trott should get citizenship in NZ. The next Chris Cairns! well good all-rounder anyway

ewen thompson on the verge of a century 98*

How old is this guy Tim Weston? he's had a pretty good debut so far.

Thomson has also impressed me this season although I don't think he is near to getting picked for a NZ side though. Maybe an a team.

 

[Right arm fast]

yea he deserves a crack in the a team i think 100* now with 15 fours and 3 sixes to go with four first innings wickets

How long does he has to wait?

That does say a lot about the relative strengths of the 2 domestic competitions.

 

[_Ed_]

Maybe so, but players the likes of Craig Spearman and Andre Adams have had more success in England than in New Zealand.

 

[Craig]

How so?

He isn't up to the mark?

 

[Tim]

Agreed. Andre Adams hasn't scored a first class century here, yet in his 1st or 2nd match for Essex he blazed a century batting at #9. And Craig Spearman never ever got close to hitting a triple century here, let alone a double.

Jonathon Trott is just having a stellar season with the bat. And his type of bowling is useful for most grounds in NZ.

He'd have to wait 4 years to get residency here. Im not sure there's much point, he may aswell complete residency for England.

Crikey - I briefly heard his name mentioned on the radio and thought, surely it can't be the guy I played with at Albion in Dunedin a few years back, but it must be. He was a tidyish keeper, but his batting wasn't terribly wonderful at that stage.

 

[marc71178]

He won't get near the England side in any form, so it depends if he can make enough money to justify changing residency and losing his county income.

i don't think that's true Marc, i think he might have a decent shot at ODI side after the WC.

 

[marc71178]

I thought we'd got over bits and pieces players?

 

[superkingdave]

I thought we'd got over bits and pieces players?

indeed i mean as a batsman.

his bowling is not particularly relavent to me

 

[superkingdave]

just to support my argument, he averages over 40 in list A cricket, how many players in England do that?

 

[Blaze]

That does say a lot about the relative strengths of the 2 domestic competitions.

Hardly.. The bowling attack he was facing was -

CS Martin
KD Mills
TK Canning
AR Adams
TI Lythe
PA Hitchcock

5 of whom have played for New Zealand in one form of the game and 3 in both.


New Zealand's domestic sides aren't that weak because there are only 6 sides to spread the talent around.

Maybe so, but players the likes of Craig Spearman and Andre Adams have had more success in England than in New Zealand.

That's a great point. I'm sick of hearing all these people go on about "The only reason Trott is doing well in NZ is because the domestic competition is so weak". If you look at the OD cometition especially, it would have to be the strongest it's been for a while, and Trott was still smacking it around. Why not just give it up to the guy and accept he is performing well?

There are many cases of average performers coming good in all forms of cricket. Look at Cairns for instance. Potential for years on end, turned into a class performer.

Certainly better than a lot of the English first class bowling combinations out there. And would do rather well in the Zimbabwe and Bangladesh teams as well. May even make them slightly competitive. Although, Martin may end up batting ahead of Mashrafe.

 

[Tim]

Peter McGlashan, the guy I reckon who has jumped ahead of Gareth Hopkins as the back-up keeper to McCullum, is currently 95* against Wellington.

McGlashan really is a good player, its good to see him starting to fulfil some of his promise.
