Oi ****, how the **** did you reply so fast?

 

[hendrix]

Outswing

 

[Flem274*]

I think he's slowed down a tad from a couple of years ago but if you can swing it both ways at 140kph+ you're definitely worth a look for international cricket.

And lol at how Finn > Southee turned out in the end, though Southee at the time was doing his very best Sami impression.

I don't think that argument is over yet. Southee had a season in the wilderness, England should possibly look to do the same with Finn. I think he'll be **** and get worse, but still, his average isn't bad.

i am fast like lightning

Erm they're both only early 20's. I think things are still very much inward turned at this stage.

 

[hendrix]

I should be crediting Kippax for all the videos, btw

 

[hendrix]

More Kippax genius.

Check 0:20 for ***.

1) Brilliant highlights/great bowling
2) Needs to bone up on the lbw laws
3) Ronchi's technique looking outstanding

yeah his footwork looks so slick.

Still Watling has been very good especially on some difficult tracks in England. The slip cordon has also been very good since he came in so Ronchi will really have a lot to do to push him out IMO - especially given that he's much younger.

How many players would've had a thread with 10 pages about them before even making their test debut? We all try to be cool and poo-poo the importance of fast bowlers compared to control and swing, but deep down we're all pathetic, speedball-following, pace sluts.

Atul sharma thread certainly proves your point. Did kane have a thread?

edit - we got to 7 pages before his odi debut and roughly 11 or so before tests. It is a good read to see who said what

[wellAlbidarned]

dat action
brb tissues

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah he did, and he had 14 pages before he made his debut, though at least he had an early test squad selection v Australia and an ODI hundred v the Bangerz to help stir the pot.

 

[NZTailender]

Watching that video when he turns and appeals for stuff he looks so much like Bond.

 

[benchmark00]

Had a good career with St Kilda which was unfortunately overshadowed by a few off field issues.

 

[lockton2skipper]

not really pressing a claim for the test side at the moment, one expensive wicket vs auckland and not even opening the bowling.

 

[Howsie]

Yeah he's fairly average.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Don't quite understand the logic of promoting him as a replacement to Wagner when he suffers from the exact same weaknesses

 

[Flem274*]

Keep trying Howitzer.

Milne bowls for a team where if he bowls crap he won't have a chance to pick up jammy tail wickets because we're so damn good. If he played for ND he would only have to compete with average bowlers like Aldo, Baker and Kuggs. Would take 7fer every game even if he sent down filth. If he played for ND or Otago he would be playing test cricket on Thursday. Easily the most talented bowler in the country with his inswing at serious pace.

 

[jonbrooks]

I see Milne has had some good games over the last 6 months. He toured SL with the NZA team and got a bunch of wickets there. He's also bowling consistently at FC level.

It's always exciting to see a quick bowler in action. Reckon he'll get a call up for international duties?
