Bevon Jacobs

And one of those...

I think actually a better example of the cricket is the Bevan Jacobs situation.

Where he's going to have a stint with the BBL.

And that's a generous deed from New Zealand cricket.

The casual contracts, you could actually bring it all together and say this is a very generous deed from New Zealand cricket that may have some cold counsel negatively working against it.

But for the betterment of New Zealand cricket, I think this generous deed should be, like this should happen.

Yes, Bevan Jacobs might miss a couple of games at Plunkett Shield.

But Bevan Jacobs is going to be playing cricket in Australia.

Like how does Zach Fetters get game time? Well, Michael Bracewell's there, and he's, you know, he's gonna bowl some spin, he's gonna bat, and all this stuff.

It's like, how do we get Bevan Jacobs in the team? Well, he's gonna bat five or six, and that's like the, the Michael Bracewell position.

'Cause Michael Bracewell isn't as good as Mitchell Santner.

Mi- Mitchell Santner is a far better T20 batter for New Zealand right now than Michael Bracewell, and he's obviously a much better spinner.

... same, same situation, you know.

And that adds another thread of intrigue to this series against India because it's not just like, oh, we're tracking who the best players are for the Black Caps.

And you've got guys like Bevan Jacobs, Zach Foulkes, those type of characters who I'm curious to see how they perform and, uh, because they are some of the emerging players in the squad.

But then there's these other guys where it's like you need to perform or else you're just out of sight, out of mind.

Okay.

Bevan John Jacobs.

Oh, I have to buy.

[laughs] I'm the leader of the fan club.

We've got Auckland A versus Canterbury A and check out some of these teams.

Auckland auckland a these aren't a teams they're pre-season a type editions so auckland sean solia luke watson dale phillips camera fletcher lachlan stackpole bevan jacobs simon keen i think it's uh just karan sandu aditya ashok loki ferguson ben lister and jordan sussex Canterbury A Scott Janet Rhys Mariu Tom Latham Matt Boyle Cole McConchie Cameron Paul Kyle Jamison Ish Sodi Callum Sampson I think it is Cullen Cameron or Cullum could be either or C Cameron Lachlan Harper and EA Holman never heard of that dude before but shout out because I hadn't heard much of Cullum Sampson before but he's a big tall lefty bowling pretty quick for Canterbury opening the bowling So that's one thing I love about Kiwi cricketer and all Kiwi sports is just like, who the fuck is that guy? Because there's so many randoms who just pop up and it's like, you're just a domestic cricketer now.

Because Samson, he's a big tall lefty and we don't have a lot of lefties who are bowling but a heat as well.

Thomas Connors leading the charge.

Throughout the series.

But very curious to see what Zach Fox does.

And then Bevan Jacobs.

Because there's a few T20 batters for New Zealand.

Everywhere.

So what did they have for Bevan Jacobs? He's at home having a cup of tea with a shitty wooden spoon and then they give him a call.

Yeah, listen, Russian Avenger has blown his shoulder out of the sky promo.

Can you come and jump in the squad? Yeah, that's good stuff.

White Bull captain Mitchell Sant are at the helm, of course.

Finn Allen, Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Devin Conway, Jacob Duffy, Lockie Ferguson, Zach Foulkes, Matt Henry, Bevan Jacobs, Kyle Jamieson, Adam Milne, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Tim Seifer, and Nathan Smith-Milsey.

Yeah, just on that, Mitchell Satner lifted the trophy for the Castle Rockers just a matter of days ago.

Shrugging on the show.
