      Thought there may have been a thread already, but I either missed it or can’t find it.

      T20 Knights v Firebirds on now.

      Firebirds 176.
      Knights struggling to get bat on ball and are currently 4/1 from 2.

        Now 21/2.

        Brownlie and Flynn at the crease.
        Key partnership one would think, Knights will be up shit creek if these two can’t get something going.

            Terrible from Flynn, smacks one straight to cover point but he drops it, next ball he smacks one straight to mid on, gone!

            37/3

            Knights are 4 or nothing at the moment. Can’t get any singles away.

              Now Brownlie is gone.

              41/4

              Game over with no batting of note to come.

                  Sohdi and Mitchell doing a good job of fighting back, pity their mates before them played so poorly though.

                  131/6, from 18. All but over.

                    Must say who ever the female commentator they have on has done a bloody good job tonight.
                    Better than monotone Piggy Styris that’s for sure.

                    Good knock from Sohdi ‘Hey don’t forget about me Selectors’ to bring up 50 in 35 balls.

                      Of all the obscure sports we've had threads on over the years, NZ domestic cricket is right up there.

                          I went to the game. Bennett loos quick live. His action is more side on than what it was.

                            Just watched two Auckland fielders in the outfield stand there and look at each other and let a catch drop between them.

                            How can you play enough cricket to get in a first class team and not fucking call for it?

                              Great night here at Bay Oval. Southee serving up a buffet after a huge innings by Siefert.

                                  I see Siefert smacked the daylights out of it to get a record tonne. Well done that man. Of course it had to be on the night I was actually doing something other than being the only loser in the country watching the McDonalds Big Smash on a Friday night....

                                  He couldn’t hit the skin off a rotten banana last night!!!

                                    Southee and Sodhi feeding the runs tonight. Need one good over.

                                              NZ T20 cricket is incredibly strong. Real quality contests.

                                                Was a good game to watch at home over a few bevvies. Looked a real nice night there

                                                  I watched a replay just to see Seifert's ton. What was interesting was that Devcich dominated their opening partnership so that Seifert only got going after Devcich's dismissal, as he wasn't on strike much. The kid has some talent.

                                                    They are cheap in the bay area - Southee can probably afford to give them away. Can be as low as $2 but the quality may be poor.

                                                    I refer you here:

                                                    And a shorter version here:

                                                    As for NZ T20 - yeah it is good. I have warmed to the whole concept but prefer a test. They are just different games. I quite like baseball as well.

                                                      I took my son to the game, and told him how out of touch Seifert appeared the previous evening. I was made to eat my words by the most audacious display of power-hitting I have witnessed. It was McCullum-like. Hope he kicks on for NZ
                                                      But, the astounding thing we picked up was how few balls he had faced as he progressed.

                                                        Good work BOPCA.
                                                        Not just the lights, looks like they've doubled the height of one of the embankments? Is that on the salt mountain side?

                                                        Just need the perimeter trees to grow/mature now. What have they planted? Pohutukawas? and the crowd burn for 15 more years? Or some fast growing exotics? I'll bet they've gone the natives.

                                                                            Took 4 years of 183 days present in the country per year. Back then they checked and added passport stamps.
                                                                            2 players only in the 12 for 4 year qualification and then 7 years at the same 183 days for full qualification
                                                                            I notice that Jofra Arthur has another 2-4 years in england to qualify. He's from Barbados, so maybe the rules are the same

                                                                            Having said that, it wouldn't surprise if a kiwi passport (if he has one) and other considerations make it easier to go from an associate nation to a test playing one.
                                                                            I remember hearing his name when playing in HK. He was a wunderkind with Jamie Atkinson
