Should NZ persevere with Chris Martin?

Should NZ persevere with Chris Martin?

  • Yes; he's still one of NZ's best pace bowlers, regardless of his batting/fielding

    Votes: 3 10.7%

  • No; he's not penetrative enough with the ball anymore & his batting & fielding make him a liability

NcCullum is a terrible FC bowler, dart bowler if there ever was one.

In other news Astle must be rapidly moving up the ladder with 3 5fers in a row. If he backs it up next season I can see him being the 2nd spinner.

There is not much choose from between Patel and NMacs bowling averages in FC. But fair play if you think his bowling isn't much chop.

Unfortunately, he's not much of a turner either, by all accounts. Another accuracy spinner who probably wouldn't be much chop in intl cricket. Still, time will tell I suppose.

Darn it I was sure a leggie would have some turn.

Well, Michael Clarke and Cameron White are both technically leg break bowlers, and neither of them ever exactly turned it square. Still disappointed that Nethula had such a rubbish season as he really could get big turn.

That makes you a leg break bowler too, Jack!

Clarke is not technically a leg break bowler in any way, shape or form, Bahnz. He is "technically" a left arm orthodox bowler.

White, on the other hand, is. But he's just rubbish with the ball anyway... :ph34r:

Huh, just noticed that. For some reason, I was always under the impression that he was a wrist-spinner. I'm sure I once heard someone refer to his sla's as "leg-breaks" early in his career. Must've just always assumed that was the case

I thought you were getting confused because he turns the ball away from the right hander so you were grouping him with leg spinners.
