I can't believe I ate the whole thing
LOL.
"All-Rounder"? At best he's a handy partnership breaker with the ball. For the first few years of his career, he looked the goods. Averaged over 40 in tests (hard for Kiwi's to do) and scored a fair few runs for New Zealand (is about our 5-6th highest ODI run scorer). Then he tried to be too fancy and stopped relying on his natural talent and just lost the plot. As it stands,, he'll put in a good performance maybe 1-2 times out of ten. And I think he's only just turned thirty.
I rubbish the guy a lot but even after his run of being crap, his average is 38. His ODI average is about 28. He's not a first choice player, but if he could just harness what he once had, he could get his average back up over 40 and 30 respectively, and be a first team regular.
But I doubt that will happen.

Yep, has largely wasted his talent
Today was typical
Hits a ball straight down a fieldsman's throught when on next to nought (dropped)
Next ball tried exactly the same thing and it fell short
Some great shots
Caught off a no-ball
Plays exactly the same shot next ball and gets caught
No brain and no discipline

Is it just me or is anyone else getting over these threads about one player?

I got no problem with them if they are about a general issue, not just about one player. BTW im not having a go at the thread creator just the trend.

What about the Stuart Clark thread though? I know I created it so I'm bound to be defensive, but there was some serious discussion in there.

That's not the "fact" at all.

Decent player but never really been convinced by him.Someone IMO who can destroy an average attack but struggles on seaming pitches against a quality bowling line up.This explains his decent but not brilliant international career marred by inconsistency and his tubbiness

There have been a strange number of them in the last day but IMO there's no harm in it.
