    Scott Styris

    I used to play cricket against him, not study his middle name. But I guess trainspotters who know a persons middle name is better acquainted with him?

    who is the best hitter??????

    Thats absoulutely correct, fast twitch muscle fibers are the most important for a fast bowler, all things being equal. Brett Lee is a perfect example, so is Agarkar, Mohammed Sami.

    Perhaps I was being a little facetious when I said that.. :-) But seriously, he is really skinny and pretty short too. I'm just under 6 feet and weigh 76kgs and Agarks came up to my shoulder and there's no way he could be over 65kgs. Funnily enough he had to leave practice early to do some...

    Scott Styris

    Remember he is 23 years old. Where was Gilly at 23? Probably not scoring 96 against a good English bowling attack at Lords, oh wait, Barry was actually only 22 when he did that.. hmmn. Not bad for a 22 year old. It seems to me that wicketkeepers, like spinners, have a tendancy to come into...

    Scott Styris

    Yeah, i know what you're saying, we aren't going that flash at the moment - but with the retirement of Cairns, injury to Bond and Tuffey it was kind of on the cards. If you took away the top 3 strike bowlers for most teams they would struggle. Even Australia would struggle without McGrath...

    Scott Styris

    i never said he was that good now.. "he could go to become..." is what i said. And yeah i do think he's that good, he's had 3 bad calls out of 4 on this trip, not what you'd call an even break. But hes still kept well and carried himself with class and dignity after missing a ball by 10cms and...

    who is the best hitter??????

    Daniel Vettori is pretty tall too. In fact I think the Black Caps could boast one of the tallest bowling attacks going around with all their mainstays fit. Oram, Bond, Tuffey, Vettori, Butler = all around or above 6"3 i think. Mills is a tall man also.

    Unfortunately Barry just got given out to another rough call. LBW off Gillespie which looked decidedly leg side. The end is Niiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhh.

    Is Your Batting Style Related To Any International Cricket????

    I have a similair set up to Nathan Astle, but unfortunately I have a forward and across movement similair to Scott Styris which makes me get too far across and I have to play around my pad a little too much. I'm gonna try to make some adjustments to my setup including taking legstump instead of...

    Scott Styris

    I don't think that we should drop "Piggy" Styris, he adds so much more to the team than just batting and bowling.. with the retirement of Cairns who will take over the mantle of team stud? I mean lets be fair Pig would have to be one of the most attractive cricketers in the world, up there with...

    Thats what I meant by biased, I'm a huge Agarkar fan. Imagine my shock when I was bowling to the Indian team at the indoor nets at Eden Park.. in walks this scruff of a whippet of a whisker of a rat.. and its Agarks. I have the greatest respect for him because hes probably one of the few...

    I agree with everything you said mate. And to follow on from that, I'd really like to see some consistency and realism with the bowling speed/styles of the players. It's ridiculous when McGrath rocks up bowling 150km, and also the fact that guys like Brett Lee aren't bowling big outswingers...
