Super Smash T20 2023/24

[NYRB]

Pringle in at 9 now and now we are into the tail.

 

[NYRB]

KDC Clarke the number 10 and Northern Brave facing a battle to bat their full 20 overs now.

 

[NYRB]

George Worker makes amends and takes a beauty after a dolly earlier today.

 

[NYRB]

Lockie Ferguson with 4/14 off his 4.0 overs

Northern Brave all out for 121 and that was a horrendous batting effort from the defending champions.

Auckland in the box seat to win Game 21 of the Super Smash.

 

[NYRB]

Professional effort from Auckland today.

 

[NYRB]

Wonder if any team in the Super Smash has ever gone from defending champion to wooden spooners in the history?

 

[Plugger35]

I can't see that total of 121 being enough unless Wagner can produce a bowling spell similar to Ferguson.

 

[Plugger35]

One of the best crowd catches of all time from a young bloke who dropped it and then kicked it up off his foot to complete the catch.

He has now turned into a celebrity there and the commentators are saying he might get offered a contract for the Northern Brave lol.

 

[Plugger35]

An easy win for Auckland by 8 wickets to remain in 2nd place on the Super Smash table while the Northern Brave remain in last place.

Got a surprise when I saw Billy Bowden umpiring today. The atmosphere at these games is abysmal.

 

[akkaps]

Katene Clarke was in dream land there. Never a run there.

Do you rate this player

 

[NYRB]

Do you rate this player

No I dont, last couple of games he has struggled a bit.

Although , he has a couple of real stand out games looking at the scorebooks last season.

Wellington have won the toss and have opted to bat

 

[madjoe]

what grounds are they playing on in NZ? some of the grounds look about 60m long,

 

[Plugger35]

The Stags finishing on 147/8 thanks to some great lower order hitting from Logan van Beek.

what grounds are they playing on in NZ? some of the grounds look about 60m long,

They play on proper cricket grounds there but some of the grounds aren't as big as some of the Australian cricket grounds.

Not many grounds in the world would be as big as the MCG though.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Central Women really screwed the pooch against Wellington. Chasing 110 crashed from 3/89 after 15 overs to all out for 109 after 19 overs. Result tied game as no super over involved.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

One of the great outfield catches surely.

 

[Cleavy]

That final over fell off a cliff

 

[NYRB]

Horrendous last shot from number 11 , needing 1 off 7 balls, she danced down the wicket to the spinner looking for a boundary.

Not very smart cricket right there. High risk shot considering a tap and go would have been a safer option.

 

[NYRB]

I had a big last night just woke up to see Otago post 138/10 against Auckland at Eden Park.

J McKenzie who more into rugby than the cricket picked up 3 wickets for Auckland. Cricket will be hoping they can retain him than losing him to rugby. Bowled well.

 

[NYRB]

Not sure about Otago batting lineup, that looks a pretty poor team on paper. Not sure how many Kiwi internationals they have but posting 138 at Eden Park is a heavily under par score, given what we saw between Pakistan and NZ on Friday.

 

[yabsy]

One of the great outfield catches surely.

Geez, that was good...Don't think I've seen one caught by 2 players on the boundary like that before.

What's the standard of this league? Is there opportunity for premier grade Australian cricketers to try their luck?

To be honest if the Australian domestic players competed in their league im not sure they would be that much better.

Yes I know there are some relatively small grounds but to be honest I reckon some of those teams in the Super Smash would beat the likes of: Sydney Thunders, Melbourne Renegades, Hobart Hurricanes of this season.

Wow that's promising to hear as far as NZ cricket goes.
