@donsteppa my bad!
Maxwell in full flight is as fun to watch as anyone has ever been. He's incredibly talented at white ball cricket.

@mariner4life Yep - in the Other Cricket thread
Halfway through Maxwell's inning, Willie Watson's quote about bowling to Viv Richards being like "bowling in the highlights" came to mind...!
I’m fairly sure I remember Willie Watson walking “caught behind” off Warnie when the replay showed he hadn’t even hit it.
If anyone summed up New Zealand cricket in the early 90s post Paddles it was him.

One interesting feature of the last few Super Smash games... with the bat, Mitch Santner seems to be slowly evolving into the sort of player Rachin Ravindra was/is meant to be in replacing him
Santner and Katene Clarke with the bat were the difference between the teams in the final.

Let’s not mistake Santner the white ball cricketer with Santner the test cricketer, they are two very different things.

Takapuna Pirates won the Auckland T20 comp yesterday in a tense low scoring game vs University.
Were only chasing 130 odd but University had successfully defended low totals all season.
Came down to Taka needing a 4 off the last ball which they got via an inside edge to win with 3 wickets in hand.
Assuming there will be a T20 nationals again so hoping Taka can defend their title and go back to back.

One day final kicking off live on Spark Sport. Right up against one of the few test matches we ahve this summer - shows how much NZC care about this comp.
Two good sides in ND and AK ... go the mighty Blue and White
I think I'll choose to watch this one over watching 6 seam bowlers struggling on a flattish one in the test. Should be more interesting until at least we have to bat under scoreboard pressure.

Great catch. O'Donnell.
whoops in my house, for sure.
Felt for the poor bastard at fine leg who did everything but catch the ball of Ferguson. Two hands, jolted clear and then got a second hand to it.
Ferguson has been excellent in ODI this year. He's a yard faster than damn near anynoe else (except perhaps Milne)
