Its Summer! - the Fever Cricket Thread. (Part 1)

Might be at the basin as you have to pay to get in. Jesse sounds like he is unleashing, damn my test tomorrow!

I know that at Canterbury games if you can carry it in it can come in. Don't know if that includes alcohol or not but there isn't exactly security at the gate....

Canterbury 115/2 off 26 overs. Means they need 106 to win at 4.6.

And Canterbury wins.  

we dont try 

Currently the table looks like this (Games played in Brackets): Gangsta!2009-01-19 21:05:00

Northern, easy! I imagine it will be ND Cantab in the finals because they are the two teams relying the least on the Black Caps

Except if Northern beat us. Then it isn't likely.

Otago crush CD and Northern crush Auckland today. BJ Waitling scores a hundred for ND, dare I say it but at the moment we actully have guys putting pressure on the incumbents in the form of guys like Broom, Waitling, Ingram, Sinclair, and with people like How floating around and with Styris yet to come back from injury as well as Oram things are looking up for the India series.
In other news Waddle on the radio the other day said the selectors were seriously considering Corey Anderson for the ODI and T20 squads... Interestingbopman2009-01-21 21:39:05

It could be said a bit of depth building up in NZ cricket - is theis a result of finally having decent first class batting tracks?

Domestically with one game to go its quite simple.

ND 29

Blackcaps squad from a selfish Otago pt of view. otagofan2009-01-22 10:22:59

Brendan McCullum is off to play for the Speedblitz Blues (aka New South Wales) in the 20/20 Big Bash (aka Aussie Domestic T20) Final...

This means he qualifies to play for them in the 20/20 'Champions League' for them... as well as potentially qualifying via his IPL team as well...


Weird.

Squad announced

Daniel Vettori (Captain), Trent Boult, Neil Broom, Brendon Diamanti, Grant Elliott, Peter Fulton, Martin Guptill, Brendon McCullum, Kyle Mills, Iain O�Brien, Jeetan Patel, Jesse Ryder, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor.

Yes!!!

Except NZ not in the Champions league as of yet, maybe in the future but not this year

His last bowling performance - Otago v CD

10   0   72   0


Yeah, the Australians are really sh*tting their pants.

1 bowling performance doesn't make a career El G.

No. But at look at his bowling statistics this season.

Sometimes I think the selectors just throw darts at the list of all first-class cricketers in this country and pick a team on that basis.

Was reading an interview with Glenn Turner this morning about the selections and was left speechless.

Did it go something like we can't afford to play Chris Martin, we're going to get a hiding anyway, and what was wrong with Robert Kennedy anyway?

Actually, those sound more reasonable than Turner...

Just watching the Australia v South Africa ODI and i was wondering who else thinks Johan Botha chucks??

Aussie getting dealt to on Aussie Day. Ain't nothing better.

that bad thing is the aussies will be under more pressure to preform when we play them.

With all due respect to such Feverites like Gangsta  HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!!!!

And the boys pull through after some early jitters

Otago 90/2 win by 8 wickets

LOL @ Canterbury.

Great bowling performance by ND so far. And now back to my obsession with Kane Williamson, watching him bowl his offies he gets some decent rip on the ball. With the Black Caps going to Sri Lanka and Pakistan (i think) this year what would people think about him being our all rounder on those trips. Obviously if Oram is fit you pick him but I doubt he will be. He has been scoring good runs in both forms of the game and will get it to go nicely on the sub-continent. Just a thought anyway and CMON ND

This Neil Wagner guy... He eligible for NZ? Only 22, FC bowling average of 19, and One day 22. Gotta be near international with those sorts of figures.

Trying to become eligble for NZ, not sure if he is yet

Northern win by 49 runs.

Aus 29/3 in the 11th, great start NZ!

54/5... Call me a pessamist but I still have a horrible feeling about this game though...

ahhaaa  Australia, yeah we still have to bat but stick that up your arse's Australian media.You arrogant obnoxious w**kers 

+1

Oh god this is heavenly

All out 181. Only downer was the last wicket partnership. Otherwise a flawless bowling and fielding performance.
