I can't wait for the day NZ is able to produce it's own talent instead of poaching Associate players and South Africans

Up around 145 kmph at his quickest. Much faster than I would have guessed based on watching him previously.

Saw him hit 144.5 in the 7th over I believe. Same over where we got seelar out. Have seen him hit 144.9 vs pak in the home t20's in early 2021. Eden park I believe. Anyone know what his quickest ball was in this match? I've been following tickner's progress closely through some instagram posts, he's been working on his biomechanics for a while with a coaching page on there.

I think one ball in his first over was 145.0 on the dot. Good thing was he bowled many balls between 140-145.

Yeah it wasn't just an effort ball, his stock ball was about 140.

 

[thundaboult]

I can legit see him pushing high 140's soon....

Roland Lefebvre was such a miser in his time with Canterbury. In an age when medium pace accuracy was impossible to punish on NZ pitches, he was the econ king.

Was a pro at a time when 90% of the players in NZ domestics were amateurs, and it showed.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Good effort from Young

Someone has got to get the letter ‘r’ out of McMillan’s pronunciation of ‘now’ and ‘how’

You're telling me associate players born and/or developed in NZ sometimes get picked for NZ?

 

[Bahnz]

Ross has already had his last bat for NZ hasn’t he?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

He's about to have another.

 

[TheBrand]

Surely there's a gentleman's agreement in the 3rd ODI that NZ bat first regardless of who wins the toss.

 

[thierry henry]

lol Rippon deliberately bowled him a really slow full toss

 

[thierry henry]

Taylor is so grotesquely cooked

 

[Moss]

Did want Taylor to play on till the 2023 WC in his most successful format, but given it’s in the SC may not be a bad thing after all.

 

[thierry henry]

This has been a dickish display by Young in the 90s tbh

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Will Will get a century?
