Kimbo
International Debutant
ok, well heres my view of a few NZ players...
Bond - reasonable with the ball, spectacular with the bat
Mills :I- better batting technique and execution than bowling!
Harris :undecided:- his bowling was a little disapointing, would have been ineresting had he tied the aussies down (though, obviously not since nz batted... well, poorly )
Sinclair :rolleyes:- still likes thrusting bat aimlessly at balls missing the stumps... sigh
Vincent : to hard to say, first ball duck doesn't tell you much, a tad unlucky. keeping so-so.
Vettori
8D: nice! beautiful bowling... best of the dismal black caps
Fleming !: it would be good if he started to lead from the front, a dropped catch and a quick 12 runs at the top... pretty poor!
Styris :I: again, hard to say. looked ok with the bat, but will have to do better to keep a spot if he isnt going to bowl.
Tuffey : why do they pick him? why??? he needs to learn a little thing called control. at the top level you need it.
Oram :undecided:: he looks a bit complacent to me, maybe he isn't but he looks it. bowling was average, batting was shortlived, alos average.
Astle
: what a sad birthday he had. i would have liked to see him bowl actually. its also quite poor the way he jumps around at the crease at the start of his innings. its called a front foot defensive... :rolleyes:
