Domestic Cricket 17/18

[Gunner]

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.

[Gunner]

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.

[Gunner]

@mariner4life as you can tell from the heavy foot traffic on here tonight that it’s a topic in high demand.... 😴

[mikedogz]

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

[Chris B.]

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.

[Donsteppa]

The Knights and catching don't seem to go together tonight.

[Gunner]

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!!!

[Donsteppa]

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

[Donsteppa]

For fucks sake Southee! Fucking pies!

[Donsteppa]

0 for 60 off 4...

[Donsteppa]

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

[Bovidae]

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.

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.

@bovidae

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.

[Rapido]

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.
