    i wasnt playing in that game. i play for our 2nd team(1st grade) and our 3rd team(3rd grade) at the club. i didn't get a mention this week, we got hammered by takapuna. they didn't have their stars so it was an embarrassing innings loss, even without lou vincent or andre adams. still they had...

    By the way, I get so much stick from my teammates for my unwavering support of Agarks. He's been doing quite well with the bat in the domestics lately. What a guy!

    I'd be willing to bet that those were hyped up radars, and also remember Sherlers would be bowling a much fuller length, that may have even been a full toss, ive seen full tosses by medium pacers clocked pretty quickly. I know Richard well enough having been his opening bowling partner for a...

    he was playing for a oneday side against one of our oneday teams at cornwall last saturday. he definitly bowled offspin, maybe just for a laugh. im supporting sherlers 100%, i used to open the bowling with him for waimea college 1st XI and Nelson U-15/U-17 before I moved to Auckland. He was...

    You'd open with Flem man? Thats a pretty big call, I'd be more inclined to let Pappsicle have a crack. For the SL series I think they'll go for: Richardson Papps Fleming Sinclair Styris Astle Oram McCullum Vettori Tuffey Butler Martin/Wiseman12th Though I'd go for: Richardson Papps Flem...

    Taibu for not supporting Heath Streak and the other so-called 'rebels'. Heath Streak said he was disappointed in him. McKenzie is representing the whole DRY, DRY South African cricket team. What a bunch of humourless prats. You know how Rigor (Mark Richardson) races against the slowest...

    do you guys favour a 5-5 split, god, if we could have (for upcoming aus series) rigor papsicle/skippy hock pig romeo jake barrie danny tuffers bondy buts then we could actually compete, i know tuffey at 9 doesnt fit with nz's (take into account their batting if they are a specialist bowler)...

    yeah, having played with a lot of the young guys (jesse ryder, ross taylor) i can tell you they can, and like, to hit the ball. but they're reckless really, and i dunno if they have the right "mindset/mental makeup" to cut it. I hope they do , but i have my reservations. You see, clarke has...

    in saying all of that, i am in favour of a 5-5 split, especially with the batting capability of oram, mccullum and vettori. oram or mccullum could go 6, the other 7, vettori 8, and then all our tailenders... well, aren't really tailenders, they all bat more than usefully. the reason for this...

    Scott Styris

    yeah thats my point, if we had a real 3 (and im not so sure sinclair or marshall are capable) then flem could go 4, nath could go 5 (i'd leave him there, 5 is a good spot for him.) and have pig at 6. but alas, we do not and rigor will be going soon too. then we've got real problems. how bout...

    by the way i meant that about vaughan, not flem. def not a test opener, stop gap measure when we were walking round like dads army.

    Scott Styris

    yeah, it just looks right having him at 4. i still think he was a decent opener, but the way he plays is more that of a 4 so he probably feels more comfortable there himself.

    Scott Styris

    I think he started as a 6 anyway, and even that looks kind of cool on paper!

    Scott Styris

    yeah no, if you read my last post thats what i alluded to. i think he would be a better number 4, but we don't have anyone who can bat 3, and like i said hes performed there so as is the case with the ODIs don't tinker round with it because he's comfortable now. New tangent = I think Vaughan...

    I think we have become accustomed to Flem at #3 in tests, and he does do it well averaging nearly 44 with 5 tons from that spot, but its generally been the way to have your best strokemaker at 4; vaughan, lara, tendulkar, martyn, crowe is also a good example. I have always agreed with that...
