If anyone from Cricinfo is reading-sort it out with this guy's DOB, will you? He's a FC cricketer now! Could be a decent one, at that.

Siddons on the news saying Ryder could be persuaded to play the England tour.
Munro watch:
Auckland 47,103, 27, 269*, 59, 118
Tests 0,15
Woah. Have a look at Van Wyk 'catch' of Grant Elliot on the videos scorecard
I want Ryder to be enjoying his cricket, but I'm not sure how great it is that he's flaying domestic bowlers all around the park.
He can be such a compact batsman when he wants to be.
Cheating little C. Even if the umpire did give that out, no way he can have an ounce of morality and allow Elliott to walk off when the ball has spewed out a foot behind him.
Curse the pooch operator who cut all those dismissals off, also Sinclair's who apparently put up quite a strop as the silly bastard does regularly.
The quote in the Dom Post article had him basically saying he didn't really care about getting out so felt free to play his natural game. Not really ideal. I dare-say he was caught in the deep somewhere again today.
I'm a big Jesse fan but I really hope he sorts his head out soon.
Haha, yeah caught at third man going for a big slog over mid wicket. Really love Kruger in that vid, looks like he's chewing his fingernails (with his gloves on) before exploding with joy when the catch was taken.
Jimmy actually swung the ball today, produced a couple of really nice deliveries. Makes it all the more irritating that he bowls such utter filth for NZ.

Gees, it is not happening for Murdoch, is it? There are some serious troughs going on this season, but his has got to be the worst of the lot. Career average has dipped below 40; he's got 134 runs from 8 innings at 16.75 this season. The responsibility of captaincy must be an issue with a form drop like that.
The thing is, his natural game that I remember is not really all that aggressive. It was uncomplicated and he was content to leave plenty of balls, rotate the strike and only hit the bad balls.
I'd much rather he play those sweet back foot punches through the covers - the type of shot where he's looking for a single but the timing just happens to be so perfect that it goes for a four - than pulling or cutting the same back-of-a-length delivery.
He had a natural patience and just seemed to love batting. Despite the fact that he's hitting the ball in a godly manner now, I get the feeling that he just can't be ****ed. Of course, that could just be because of ****ty domestic attacks...

When's Brad Wilson going to be dropped? 115 runs at an average of 14.38 in FC this season.
George Worker has had a shocker, 89 at 11.13.
gee, case in point with the Ryder dismissal. That was an awful shot.
If he's going to play like that against England I don't want him selected.
