    Is Rashid Latif completely nuts... or is he an innocent victim of unfair persecution?

    He's ****oo, but still didn't deserve a ban of such length.

    9-57 against SA when they made the mistake of bouncing him in the head. Explosively quick when he wanted to be, but haemorrhaged runs like there was no tomorrow. Still, at least he actually had a neck, unlike the neckless wonder - Gladstone Small. Others who competed despite physical...

    Haha, all those guys play club cricket in Auckland. Greg Loveridge, Mark Haslam, Kerry Walmsley. Haslam bats 11 even in club, the mighty DeGroen came from my club in Auckland, Cornwall. Best fieldsman, batsman ever. David Sewell (1 game in Zimbabwe) Matthew Bell (quite useful, but changed...

    He slept with one of his PE teachers from school. She was pretty hot apparently too, he was a bit of a hero amongst the boys. Not so much amongst the faculty. I played against McCullum at school too, now theres a player - i reckon hes the best think to happen to NZ cricket.. Parore who?

    fair enough. but he would be quite a bit after i'd say, which is no indictment of him, it's just that sir viv was on another planet.

    You aren't seriously trying to compare Inzamam Ul-Haq to Viv Richards are you?

    DC is a really good player aye. He was a useful cricketer too, nothing flash though, I used to play against him at school, he was in the Boys High 1st XI, until he got expelled.. good story behind that too. I got billeted with him when we played our traditional against CBHS in Christchurch...

    **Official** New Zealand in Australia Thread

    I totally agree, what does it say to a guy like Fulton or McIntosh who consistently score big runs (big hundreds too) at first-class level. Even his brother James would be a little miffed! Incidentally James was playing on the field next to me last weekend, and took 3 wickets in 4 balls...

    it was bloody crazy though aye. can you remember the days of blair hartland, darrin murray, michael owen, roydon hayes... there were some real shockers in there. Can you come up with any more, i know there were plenty! I remember that at one stage majority of first-class players in NZ had...

    a pretty good knock against them in the world cup. He also plays left arm seamers pretty well, so I think he'll go well against Sri Lanka.

    Styris actually plays offspin pretty well, when he gets his feet going he can really take spinners apart. He actually played

    Yeah he wont get too many more chances I think. AND damn him, too much watching him on tv has made me open the face on my defensive shots and make me drive through point rather than through covers!

    Ideally, Flem is a number 4, always has been, but unfortunately we don't have the calibre of players to have him there, never have done, and probably never will. Pig is as good an option as we will have at 4 over the next few years.

    I didn't say that we are doing it now, I said we used to do it. I meant when does it end as an overall summary of my thoughts on that policy.

    the only continual cycle would be the revolving door policy employed during the 90s. I dont mean his averaging over 40 is the end of the story, thats my contention. but i do think the fact that he has the talent to bat in the top 6 at int level is a closed book, again IMO. from my...

    Biggest plodders in international cricket history.

    Its just an opinion, they seem to have a revolving door policy. If they kept a core squad of players together and developed them they would be near the top of the cricket tree where they should be on talent. NZ had this same problem of throwing players away after one of two bad series. When...
