    Your strongest shots?

    For me it would be the cut. I love this shot but just wish I would stop using it to Off spinners. If it bounces a little more than I expect from the offies I usually end up being caught behind. Also strong on the straight drive.

    Hardest Shot to Play?

    What do you think is the hardest shot to play? I think the On Drive because your balance, foot position, weight and everything else has to be perfect to play it along the ground with correct timing.

    NZ's Vice Captains

    I just saw in the paper that Daniel Vettori and Jacob Oram are co-vice captains for the test side. What are your thoughts here. I think Vettori is a good option but I would have thought Hart instead of Oram because I don't think Oram has secured his place in the team. The selectors made it...

    NZ World Cup Squad

    What are your thoughts on the New Zealand World Cup squad. I think that Fleming is very lucky to be there. He has failed with the bat many times opening and it seems that his place is down the order more if anywhere in the oneday team at all. But he keeps stating that he wants to open. Harris...

    Peter Fulton

    I have heard a few people in this forum talk about Peter Fulton(The New Zealand(canterbury)player). In the paper yesterday I saw that he can't get a canterbury contract let alone a New Zealand one. I find this unbeleiveable as I rate him very highly and I am sure many other people in this forum...
