  1. The Big Cheese

    NZ- gutsy overachievers, gormless underachievers, or just kinda average?

    NZ cricketers are an enigma. The most talented players underachieve and the players somewhat lacking in talent overachieve. Generally though... overacheivers. Players like styris who mainly bowled originally and (due to injury) converted their game into a batting allrounder amaze me. Richardson...

    Where to for NZ cricket in the next few years?

    Yeah thats a good point actually. How can't be any better at opening than what Vincent is now. So for the future, maybe after retirement of flem and styris nz batting could look like this: 1. papps 2. how 3. vincent 4. taylor 5. fulton oram mcculum etc etc (p.s. It has an inexperienced look to...

    Where to for NZ cricket in the next few years?

    I think uv got it bang on there flemo! Taylor definitely has potential but should not be first drop in a test match at the tender age of 23 (or 24 or something). This is where fleming should stay in tests. Fulton on the other hand, has proven himself on the first class scene averaging mid 40s...

    Vettori v.s. Giles

    No one has seemed to take into account: 1. Half of the matches Vettoris plays in are at home, and nz conditions are fairly unresponsive for him. 2. Vettori's workload is MASSIVE overseas, where the nz seamers cannot seem to bowl as well as they do at home. You often see him take 5 wickets in an...

    Worst Bowling Team among the test playing nations

    The people suggesting NZ as one of the worst bowling attacks always mention NZ without bond, yet in this list NZ are seventh... with bond. Is that a little strange? Or am i just blindly patriotic?

    Group C - New Zealand, England, Kenya, Canada

    Plunketts quite young, and bowlers usually mature later on in their bowling careers. If he develops his batting he could well develop into a bowling allrounder in the vein of Shaun Pollock.

    Amazes me how these poms think Kiwis think they're alone in their team being disliked.

    Next in line for NZ

    At least some of the time, jayasuriya was swinging across the line and hitting reasonably pitched balls for six. I agree that he was also hitting bad balls for boundaries, particularly off Adams.

    the best wicket keeper in w cup

    I Disagree with the Best wicketkeeper being Boucher. SA have been without a regular spinner for some time now, and thats where keepers are really tested. Gilchrist and Sangakkara have the two best spinners ever bowling at them and so, are sometimes shown up when the doosra/flipper/(whatever...

    Not if they have decent pace, bounce, or variations. By a good ball i mean not short not full, just outside off-stump, not some inswinging yorker at 155kph, that would be fairly dificult to hit for six.

    Next in line for NZ

    Jesse Ryder's just a medium pacer in terms of bowling isn't he?
  14. The Big Cheese

    Next in line for NZ

    Michael Mason could be considered as a 'typical NZ seamer,' bowls line and length at 130ish kph, and gets absolutely cremed if the batsman can hit good balls for six, eg. Jayasuriya in the recent NZ vs. Sri Lanka series

    the best wicket keeper in w cup

    Correct me if im wrong, but i was under the assumption that this thread is about the best wicket keeper. Jayasuriya is NOT a wicketkeeper... :@

    the best wicket keeper in w cup

    In THIS world cup, i believe Sangakkara will be the best/most effective keeper batsman. Gilly has been in suspect batting form for some time now and even though he's done so much for the keeper batsman role, his powers are beginning to wane.
  17. The Big Cheese

    the best wicket keeper in w cup

    Sangakkara is the best batsman of the keepers. He consistently scores runs in all countries against all countries, and adapts well to foreign conditions. Example? In Nz recently, where most sub-continent batsman struggle to perform. And hes not too shabby with the gloves either...
