Domestic Cricket 17/18
-
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. -
Don’t mind our super smash at all
Aces game the other day was a cracker by all accounts
-
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.
-
Knights totally falling apart.
63/6
-
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.
-
@mariner4life as you can tell from the heavy foot traffic on here tonight that it’s a topic in high demand.... 😴
-
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.
-
The Knights and catching don't seem to go together tonight.
-
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.
-
For fucks sake Southee! Fucking pies!
-
0 for 60 off 4...
-
Siefert won that single handedly for the Knights, fantastic effort!
-
It was an awesome night at the Bay Oval. What a ground and what a match.

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:

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11959701As 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.

The new lights.
Use LED, which judging by video in this link seems to mean they can be turned on and off instantly, without the 20 minutes to warm up to full brightness that I remember from the old grounds.
Let there be light at the Bay Oval

I'm wondering if the new Perth stadium has them as they were talking about a light show there and how the lights just came back on without warming up.

I am sure all new grounds will have them.

Mark Chapman will be a New Zealand international batsman before too long. I would be giving him a go in the T20s against Pakistan.
-
@hydro11 He should be there now ahead of Kitchen. Nothing against Kitchen, but Chapman is 10 years younger and is a star in the making.
-
@hydro11 google tells Chapman plays for Hong Kong. Is that the same player you are referring to? Are no restrictions on players swapping between teams like Hong Kong and NZ? Yes, I am too lazy to look that up myself.
-
@crazy-horse if i recall Hong Kong is an associate member ( like tier 2 in rugby). Years ago I went through a qualification period to play for an associate team.
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 sameHaving 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 -
Chapman is a dual citizen and eligible to play for NZ as soon as selected.
-
Super smash final on now, Knights v Stags.
Stags currently 21/2 after 4 overs.
Ryder and Young back in the hut inside the first 2 overs.
-
25/3 now, Bruce gone.
-
53/4 from 10.
Cleaver gone for 10, controversial caught behind decision.
Probably evens it up though as one went the other way earlier on Worker which looked out.
