Rhinestone Cowboy, ffs.
Listening to Aggers and Coney telling stories during a rainbreak is an absolute pleasure, btw.
LOL, Aggers just requested Supertramp.

By the time Bracewell became coach in 2003, Oram and Cairns were established as the test allrounders. Although it is incredible Adams didn't play more given his success on debut. Just looking at the Windies tour in 2002 which followed that England series and he didn't even make the squad.

The first 20 minutes was good & then Coney joined and it was absolutely superb.

I honestly didn't think their was anything wrong with the shot. Short and he's tried to hook it, unfortunately he got a top edge and was caught a fine leg. If that's how you deal with the short ball then so be it. The way the RadioSport commentators were banging on as I was driving home I assumed he was out backing away trying to clear long on or something.
Unbelievable, imagine NZC telling the BCCI how to prepare their wickets?? Home countries should be able to prepare wickets that suit their strengths.

Chris Harris should have been nowhere near number four in test cricket at that stage after barely averaging just 20. Even if he was a gun at first-class level with the bat, It just looks strange having him bat ahead of Astle, and McMillan who were averaging around 40 back then.

Might give it a listen then.

He'd been in 4 balls, had the responsibility at #8 to help guide us towards avoiding the follow on. He shouldn't have been thinking about playing the attacking hook, but ducking under the ball and letting it go through to the keeper. Exactly what Bruce Martin is capable of doing.

Technically Southee hasn't got a hope in hell of getting over the top of his hook shot, **** me. Here I was hoping with some new talent coming through, the days of your provincial team being ****ed right off the bat might be over.

Bracewell vs. Adams was a depressing tale. Also, Adams wasn't helped by '140 or nothing' mania in the wake of Bond's success, the FC averages of the Tama Cannings etc. in domestic cricket whipping people into broad-brushed contempt of anyone slower.
The upshot is that cricket's going to be pretty wilfully ******** in NZ for decades to come, administrators hoisting pictures of Dougeh etc. up the flagpole and scraping the depths for a target market to salute. The most natural custodians and guardians of the game - Coney, Fleming, Adams, O'Brien - all realised that to stick around would require a Turner-like relish for unfruitful and purely academic resistance, so they exercised their independence of mind and left.

Chats and Coney are godamned legends. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

Yeah no play today guys, looks misty as **** out there.
In regards to Southee, being at the game I can say it was a horrible shot. For the context of the game, it was a shocker. Southee ---> No 10 if he bats like that. Martin should be 8, Wagner 9. You cant have your number 8 going for wild slogs when the follow on is that close.
