More on Indian teenager sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi:
-
He would be a handy club cricketer or twilight cricketer..

Doug Bracewell retiring from all cricket.
In Boult, Wags, and Southee we ended up with a very decent international pace attack in the later 2010's, Bracewell always has that slight 'what could have been' thought in the back of my mind. Hobart turning out to the be peak in some ways.

Not in some ways, in EVERY way. One incredible performance at test level which he can dine out on and quite rightly.....I hope he regales everyone who ever accosts him at a pub about that one.
That was a very strong Oz team he knocked over.
Looking at that batting order I can't ever remember McCullum opening in tests, Ryder at three or KW at five.......
Hopefully he enjoys retirement.

Not good news - Damien Martyn in a coma with meningitis.

probably too late for you guys last night, but in teh BBL the Hobart Hurricanes had an all time choke job. Situation was, they win, tehy pretty much lock up top spot for finals, they are playing the Heat who can't win outside of Brisbane, and they are chasing, which is a massive massive advantage this year.
And it was going swimmingly, at over 17.5 they were 150 for 4 chasing 161 for the win. Their win chance at tat point was probably 99.999999%
the remaining 13 balls went

While there was a bit of talk pre-Christmas about which former players (etc) were determined to set up the latest T20 franchise league in NZ, and the rolling of the NZC CEO - it's worth acknowledging a few who have quietly been right back at the grassroots lately.
Wags (commentating tonight) was spotted umpiring at the Hawke's Bay Cricket Camps at Marewa Park this morning alongside LRPL Taylor.
We also had Grant Elliot umpiring at one of our games last week at Windsor Park. Given the time lag since he last played and the age of the kids - the parents were probably the ones most excited by that
