1) I always thought it was confusing for people overseas to have a "state" championship played for by provinces instead of states.

2) I always liked the shell cup and shell trophy.

Na CD could use Napier more than Dilshan.
What!!!!!! :huh:

Central Districts already have Diamanti and Thompson, and Dougie Bracewell. That's three all-rounders right their, and Napier's batting isn't any better (or much better) then the first two.

Dilshan would have been a far better pick-up.

Yeah but unlike those three **** house allrounders Napier can actually bowl. And probably bat better as well. CD has a good batting lineup and rubbish bowling, Napier was one of the best domestically last year.

They both have better bowling 20/20 records then Napier, Bracewell has yet to play. Napier's a **** house batsmen though, both Thompson and Diamanti have better records.

So when you look at the stats, both Thompson and Diamanti are better 20/20 all-rounders. Dilshan would by far, have been the better option for CD.

Napier is better though. The record would be due to him playing English cricket wouldn't it?

Yeah I was just looking at their career 20/20 records. I'll look up Napier's stats in New Zealand tommorow or something, I can't remember him doing that much last season though.

If this guy: Ewen Thompson | New Zealand Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | Cricinfo.com is crap, then I'd hate to see how all those that do worse than him would go at top.

Oh wait, there's Patel. :p

Diamanti and Thompson are good domestic bowling allrounders. They might not be much chop at a higher level, but we hardly need another one.

Napier got 14 @ 11.57 Economy 6.27
Thompson 8 @ 28.25 Economy 8.69
Diremanti 3 @ 12.33 (Only bowled 7 overs for some reason) Economy 5.33
Bracewell didn't even play.

**** Napier bowled better than every CD bowler tbh, left Mason and McClenenenen in the dust. Napier is a better player than Thompson by a fair bit.

Foreign conditions and he's due for a few failures. No real argument behind it, I just think he will.

McCleanaghan must be injured because he isn't in CD's playing XI.
Or he isn't that good...

Na could just be giving some new guys a run at an early part of the season. Haven't seen Kuru before, may head down to the Basin for a while today.
