Young Andrew De boorder, 19, (Former U19 captain with a youth average of 46) has made a strong debut with 85 not out. If he reaches his century, he will be the first player in 18 seasons to make a century on debut.

Subsequently his brother Derek is also on 75* over night for Otago.

A De Border fell 12 runs short in the end.

Richard Sherlock currently 53*, hopefully this gives him a bit of confidence boost

because of his no more than average medium pacers and his allright with the bat? not an exciting player.

Yeah they took Muir, havent seen a lot of him, other than his stupidity a few weeks back batting without a helmet and having his nose broken

Astle is reasonable but i don't think it is something anywhere near what you would want to use at a higher level yet

How good is Greg Hay going? I thought he might have been a bit of a one season wonder, but he has backed it up with a big second season, including another hundred this weekend.

Surely he has to be next in line for the test side...

Wellington 199, Canterbury take the State Championship by 49 runs

Was a sensational day to listen too, would have been even better if it wasn't for that ****ing farming hour, and ads every 3mins. Missed so much of the action while they were at ad breaks

Wellington started really well, added 120 for the loss of 1 in the 1st season, Neal Parlane being the mainstay of that with good support from Woodcock. Van Wyk dropped Parlane on 32, off the bowling of Davidson, denying him 5, and that looked crucial as at 160/5 they looked very comfortable, then Todd Astle entered the game, removing Parlane for 74, Bowden 0(3) and Patel 0(1) all in the 1 over. Gillespie came out and whacked a quick 14 before Bennett knocked his off stump over, then Woodcock and O'Brien fought for a while, before Woodcock lofted Astle to Bennett on the boundary who took the catch and the chamionship. Astle finshed with 4/26 and Davidson 4/28

Fantastic effort from a young Canterbury side. Was also amusing to hear Waddle hurting so much in his commentary
