Super Smash T20 2023/24

[NYRB]

Foxcroft and Dale Phillips are going to have to rebuild now.

 

[Plugger35]

Otago have started almost as badly as NZ started against Bangladesh last night.

 

[NYRB]

Alexandra in NZ I only realised is about an hours drive or so away from Queenstown. Would love to see Alexandra maybe next time there. Seems a beautiful part of the world.

 

[NYRB]

Logan van Beek repped NZ Under 19 basketball....comms said , I wouldnt have ever guessed.

 

[NYRB]

Otago are 4 down, and this is a major collapse with Dale Phillips departing.

Big Logan gets his 2nd for the day.

Otago are 12/4 inside the powerplay and we still have 15 balls remaining.

 

[NYRB]

Llew Johnson into the crease at 6. Must admit I havent seen him bat much before.

 

[NYRB]

Now Foxtrot has to go , Volts are 14/5 inside the powerplay , still 10 balls in the powerplay.

By jeez Volts be battling to bat the full 20 overs right now.

 

[NYRB]

Brings in Oli White in at 7.

 

[NYRB]

The Firebirds mean business today.

 

[NYRB]

Every ball from the Firebirds looks like it could be a wicket right now.

 

[Plugger35]

Otago 6 down for 17, they will be struggling just to bat out the 20 overs let alone post a competitive score.

 

[Cleavy]

they have "recovered" to 9/41 at almost 12 overs

 

[Santana]

Hopefully Super Smash tickets are cheap

 

[Plugger35]

Otago all out for 47 and that was with a last wicket partnership of 17 which was the best of the innings,

Not one Otago batsman made double figures, Bacon the no.11 got the highest score with 9, shocking performance.

 

[Cleavy]

so predictions for how many overs it will take Wellington to chase the total? I'll say 5.

 

[1989]

Super Smash? Big Bash? At least name these competitions something credible.

 

[Plugger35]

An easy 9 wicket win for the Wellington Firebirds,

Tim Robinson should be in the mix for a call up to the Black Caps in the limited overs formats,

Scored a great ton in his last Super Smash innings and looked on track to score another one but there wasn't enough runs for him to score

 

[NYRB]

8th game of the Super Smash abandoned between Central Districts and Auckland. 3rd abandoned game from 8 games so far in the tournament.

 

[Plugger35]

It's not often a match gets abandoned before it is even due to start but the weather in New Plymouth today is pretty bad by all accounts.

 

[NYRB]

[NYRB]

Last game of Super Smash Cricket in New Zealand for the 2023 calendar year. Tomorrow its the New Zealand men playing their 3rd T20 against Bangladesh.

 

[NYRB]

Bit of a slow outfield in Game 9 with the rain around today.

 

[NYRB]

Players off in Game 9 due to bad light, by jeez you would have thought they would use some common sense with 22 balls remaining in the game.

 

[NYRB]

Not the smartest idea to play a day game at 4pm at a ground with no flood lights.

 

[NYRB]

Cricket shooting itself in the foot again as a rain affected day is now stopped for bad light, with only 3 overs to go in a chase, no consideration to paying customers.

Game was reduced from a 20 over chase to a 19 over chase for bad light. Its very rare also in this day and age to come off for bad light than later come back on.
