Domestic Cricket

Domestic Cricket

Today marks the opening of the Domestic Cricket Calendar.

AMEN!!!!!

I myself am a cricket fanatic and im also part of the New Zealand Cricket Coaches Association... cost me $30 for the whole year, which gives me all the 3-monthly magazines, a free ticket to any international match of my choice, and also a free pass to all domestic games for this season! Sweet deal

Just a pitty that the black caps ouldnt do it eh??
bring back vincent and sinclair to open i say...

I am thinking of making a forum rule that discussion of ball and stick games (golf, cricket, baseball etc) is an automatic banstick offence.

Cricket: yawn.

Haha... fair enough if you don't like it, but I truly believe that cricket is the best sport invented

Yep, Nothing better!

Matthew Sinclair  what did he do to n.z cricket ? easily the best pick as opener for us, he just got another ton today

fair enough  point taken

GO THE NORTHERN KNIGHTS!! By the way, how crap were the Black Caps in the first test. Bowled well in the first innings but it turned bad real quickly after that. I agree with you chaps, Sinclair deserves another go.

There was a charity match up here at the new oval (best ground in NZ) in Whangarei on Saturday, NZ Masters vs Northland Masters. Ewan Chatfield, Murphy Sua, Lance Hamilton, Kerry Walmsley, Mark Bailey, Shane Thomson, Mark Richardson, Glen Sulzberger, Robbie Hart were all playing for NZ and Stephen Cunis, Bryan Young and Andrew Jones were playing for the Northland team. NZ won by about 10 runs. Good game to watch, not the best standard of cricket but it was good to see the old timers out on the park again

Sinclair made 243 in CD's first innings passing M Crowe's top score from CD. Probably a bit late to fly him off to SA now but surely he has to be there when the BC's take on Bangladesh in December.

thats good to hear that people are noticing him finally!!! ive been crying out to the selectors for ages to bring him back into the test team!

I would...but every Firebirds Twenty20 match clashes with something... Firebirds vs Stags starts two hours before TW vs Waikato, and the other two home fixtures clash with uni. So I'll just keep tabs, maybe go along for the first hour or so of the match against the Stags before heading to the Team Welly match.

I'm not really a fan of cricket despite growing up playing it in Aussie, but I'm hoping to go to the ODI against England - many of my mates are cricket nuts so at least I'll be hanging out with amigos at the Ring of Fire

yeah im really keen to see ho we go on nz's bowler friendly wickets against england.... should be a close series im picking.... both with similar bowling and batting ability and we also share experience amongst the players..... should be really good

just was atching some of the aussie game against th sri lankans... i seriously think that Michael Hussey is going to contend for Don Bradmans recor of the highest test average! he's brilliant just saw him knock up another test tonne... good to see Jaques strike consecutive centuries aswel... hopefully the black caps can improve on their last performance tonight!

This summer I might even go and watch some local club matches. A good way to relax after work! Replace the Black Cap contracts and offer them performance based ones. Currently they grab the money and cant be arsed!

C'mon the aces I heard that Andre Adams bowled alright today... heard that he bowled 9 consecutive maidens and finished with figures along the lines of 12 overs, 9 maidens, 2 wickets, 10 runs

Now why can't adams be back in the black caps?? it doesnt matter if he is older than most of the team, as long as he is performing better than the rest he should be in south africa

Because 90% of the time he's played international cricket he's looked like utter bollocks. And the remaining 10% didn't look that much better either.

Well that may be so but you cant tell me that there are 11 players playing better then him at the moment in south africa... if it's not working, then you must fix something

  SACK John Bracewell

Not disagreeing with you there mate. But it's our batting that's really sh*te at the moment, and there just isn't enough talent around to fix that easily.el grapadura2007-11-21 21:22:28

Good to see a win for the mighty Wizards against Northern

Wumbos cricket team

Just got back from the domestic semi here in Christchurch. A tad disappointed at both the crowd numbers (Absolutely shocking) and also that Canterbury lost, however Otago played better and were derserved winners.
