    Starc, chameera, amir, rabada or Joseph

    The idea that Starc has a fluid action is a bit funny considering he basically jogs to the crease before loading everything into the last few strides and slinging it down there. It's not exactly a Lillee approach to the crease. I think he'll have massive ongoing issues with injuries in the...

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2015/16

    There have been some REALLY weird ones when I think about it. Ross Taylor's Bruce Lee impersonation. Chris Harris basically touching every piece of his equipment before doing a bow legged squat. Matty Hayden walking down the wicket. Matty Bell's sprint across the crease that makes Steve Smith...

    How was this guy ever picked for NZ :laugh: It reminds me of the old days of the De Groen's, the Sua's and the Walmsley's

    All Black Owen Franks opens up on NZ's 'crazy' binge drinking culture | Stuff.co.nz That's why we can't have our Ryders in the side. You can't expect someone with alcohol issues to be able to play top level sport and not have further issues due to the environment that NZ has created for its...

    Is Tendulkar a jerk?

    He was a jerk of a bowler.

    Shahid Afridi's final international tournament in Pakistani Colours. Tributes?

    Very typical of Pakistani "excitement" cricketers. Abdur Razzaq, Shoaib Akhtar, Shahid Afridi, Saeed Anwar. Brilliant cricketers, brilliant to watch and performed some truly amazing feats for their country. Afridi will be missed, colorful character, great spin bowler, great power hitter and...

    The worst one I can remember recently was the English chap, Gary Ballance who was batting in their top order and almost treading on his stumps when he went backwards. Trent Boult was loving that with the Duke, getting late swing and having all that time for the ball to move off its line.

    Isn't the theory that you're getting your feet moving just as the bowler releases the ball, at which point you're able to get your feet to it better than you would if you were on your heels? All trigger movements come with their risks Going Across (or Back and Across) - raises the potential...

    Lots. Off the top of my head Grobbellar, Cachopa(s), Watling, Van Wyk, Viljoen, Wagner, Elliott

    Starc, chameera, amir, rabada or Joseph

    He will do just as well in Tests, any left arm seamer capable of skidding them through at 150KPH with swing both ways and the ability to stand it up off the seam will be OK.

    IMO, you have to ignore how badly both Boult and Southee have bowled against Australia to say that "Well the stats are inflated by the fact they had to play Australia", neither of them were even par, they've been the disappointment of the entire season so you can point to the Australian...

    The argument isn't that "Neil Wagner is a better bowler on his day than Tim Southee is" - Tim Southee is infinitely better "on his day" than pretty much any bowler NZ has had that wasn't named Hadlee. The problem is that those days are highly inconsistent while Wagner turns up and does...

    Current Trent Boult doesn't bowl 145kph boomerangs. I'd much rather Iain O'Brien bowling 140kph. Also, what is it with you guys and insults? I'm getting sick of reporting posts.

    Starc, chameera, amir, rabada or Joseph

    Amir 100%. IMO, Starc will always have injury issues with that jerky action and will struggle to remain on the park/effective

    Nohit Sharma vs Martin Gotpills

    Also, it's hardly a fair comparison Rohit, Indian Player, teams have to select 7 Indians in their side and there are only so many quality Indian batsmen Guptill, International Player, Teams have only 4 places in their side, and there are a ton of quality international batsmen.

    Best captains/could have been captains

    If we're talking permanent versus fill in, I always thought Michael Hussey would be a great captain. Matt Bell was a great FC Captain and could've been interesting at International. Did Gary Kirsten ever captain South Africa?

    Just for comparison Under McCullum Trent Boult Without Wagner: 14 matches, 49 Wickets @ 33.4 With Wagner: 17 Matches, 72 wickets @ 26.2 Overall: 31 Matches, 121 Wickets @ 29.1 Southee Without Wagner: 12 Matches, 30 Wickets @ 45 With Wagner: 15 Matches, 71 Wickets @ 23.7 Overall: 27...

    See, New Zealanders liking their pretty bowlers again. You could make a point that Southee should be rated ahead of Wagner in the McCullum era, but fair evidence would indicate that you're the one smoking something. IMO, If you compare their career numbers side by side, they're quite...

    Twenty20 or Cricket Max?

    Maybe it was my age, but I remember Cricket Max being far more watched, with higher attendances and ratings on Sky and at the ground than T20 has been in the country.
