That Anendra Singh guy does have an infuriatingly provincial style and is ****ing hard to read. Marty Kain's action and a mustachioed, wicket-keeping Sinclair tomorrow night won't do anything to stem the Hills Have Eyes taunts we associate with Central Districts either.

I bowled a doosra* in the nets today. Sign me up, NZ domestic sides?
*Well, I was trying to bowl offies and they all went the opposite way.

I can bowl a doosra pretty competently but I clearly chuck it. Can I play? Sinclair's not gonna call me out on it after all; he loves me too much.
I was bowling them with a completely legitimate action. I have NFI how.

He's nearly 34, which is a bit old for a return, even for my tastes. Also, if he was even to come anywhere near the selector's attention, he'd need to have to keep up his current form pretty much all season.
Still, I quite liked Fulton. Tall, good off the back foot, powerful through the leg side, seemed to have most of the tools necessary, even if his footwork was always a little suspect.

Hadn't realised he was quite that old. We turned over so many batsmen in the previous decade... Bell, Papps, Fulton, Howe, Cumming, Redmond, Marshall J, etc, plus a few others in ODIs. Not to mention Sinclair of course.
Quite a few of them did go back to first class cricket and score a few runs though no-one really racked up the numbers Fulton seems to be accumulating this season.
I just want one of them to come back like a Hayden/Langer/Martyn and take a second chance. Flynn is looking a possibility at present but he'd better start converting those 40s and 50s into 130's pretty soon.

No, think Straw Man tipped a 'nothing's changed' domestic season and I think he's proven more right than he knew. Probably on course for the most pre-Xmas runs ever, with the return of Fulton and Papps to the top of the charts like we're back in 2004, plus the continued emergence of Cachopa. All three pretty ungainly tstl against a quick short ball and lovers of a slow and low east coast venue. Cachopa vs. Short Stuff - YouTube

Ellis managed to bounce De Villiers (?) out tbf iirc. Can get a bit of rise from the surface. But yeah, Cachopa clearly much prefers it in his half.

Was sure my computer was malfunctioning when I heard the soundtrack on that. Someone else on here apart from me knows Attic Sky's? My hipster level just fell through the floor.
