Domestic Cricket Guide - Ford Trophy #2
Not much action besides Auckland vs Northern Districts and another fine (but short) display from Ed Nuttall.

Fellas like McCullum, Taylor, Guptill, Elliott, Boult and Southee all did fantastic things in 2015 but none quite measures up to the sustained magnificence of the one we call Prince Kane.
Big Mitch is on fire, Luke Ronchi certainly is not and there's a cheeky fifth and final ODI coming our way.
Cachopa brothers, Aces youth, Caterbury's bowlers, Neesham's 2016 and more from the opening two rounds of the Ford Trophy.
Bowlers taking wickets, batsmen going big and we're 2-0 up. Life's good.
It’s hard to say why exactly, but no team quite flies off the batting handles to such incredible degrees like the Blackcaps do.
We'd much rather have a Boxing Day Test but some ODIs will have to do...
Cheers for the memories B-Mac (/Natty Mac), you've left a mark on our national cricket team and set us up for greatness.
13 wickets in two Tests? Yeah Kane, Timmy's on your tail mate.
Kane Williamson is super, while the rest of our batting in Hamilton was reasonably poo.
Now that's how you play the pull shot folks. It was a crazy day of cricket, which you would have missed if you were a dumb Christmas shopper.
Right, not the best day of test cricket this summer from the Cappies. Not the worst either, but definitely not the best.
Not the best day for our bowlers, yet they still picked up wickets with help from some fine fielding.
The Big Bash has been fun to watch, yet with the Women's Big Bash League starting up and more kiwis involved, it's time for some #JandalStyle.
BJ Watling is still the best wicket-keeper/batsman in Test cricket, he's also the safety net that the BLACKCAPS need to get some runs.
Go grab your vice of choice and salute the BLACKCAPS for a job well done.
Tom Latham knocked a hundy, Neil Wagner knocked on 160km/h and then the rain/hail came a'knocking.
The ‘Caps are in a pretty good space here. 308 runs ahead with nine wickets and a couple of days remaining, this is a test that is there for the winning.
Sri Lanka are fighting back and the onus is on the BLACKCAPS to make some moves tomorrow.
Send your salutes Martin Guptill's way, but the lad needs some consistency. Oh and this Test is nicely poised.
