Game Sitch (Situation for those who aren't very cool)
ND vs Auckland. Auckland won by 5 wickets. The Aces notched 4 first innings 50's to give themselves a small first innings lead before the Knights set them 211 to chase. Auckland did so with Jeet Raval top scoring (90) and Carl Cachopa knocking 50.
Canterbury hit 242 in their first innings against Wellington with Henry Nicholls the only score of note - 53. Wellington grabbed a lead as they notched 343 with veterans Michael Papps and James Franklin getting 60's. Canterbury are 43/0 at the end of day 2.
Central Districts ran through a mediocre Otago batting effort on day 1 of their match with CD only mustering 207. CD are 67/0.
Give Him A Good Dinner
Graeme Aldridge (ND) got 5 wicket bag in a loosing side. The Aces just served up a great team effort so give them all a decent feed.
Andrew Ellis - 19 overs 4 for 86. The Cantab Battler.
Not a whole lot to celebrate for Otago, besides Michael Bracewell and Mark Craig knocking 50's.
Observations From The Observatory
Jeet Raval, he's good but needs get a whole heap of runs if he wants to go to the next level.
Wellington could be dangerous, if they can get contributions from their whole squad as they did with the bat.
