Emerging Players tournament 2010

Lol, we have a clear cut second best spinner?

Good on him though.

Auckland easily beats Rangiora for flattest track glory.

 

[Howsie]

Not last year it didn't, Rangiora was ridiculously flat last season.

I was more using it for effect

 

[Flem274*]

Sure it wasn't just Papps batting average deceiving you?

I'd be in shock if it was the best batting wicket.

Canterbury and Otago should switch home grounds for lolz.

Ah, that one spun past me.

 

[Jezroy]

New Zealand's second best spinner picked up a 5fer too, Nick Beard was economical in the 20/20's without picking up wickets so he's another who is having a decent enough tournament. The quicker the selectors realise just how good he is the better because he's a infinitely better spinner then a certain someone.

Rubbish - Kane is the 2nd best spinner in the country.

 

[Flem274*]

Get off, it's obviously Jeetan Patel

 

[Hurricane]

I only watched Beard bowl in one 20/20 last year and thought he bowled an interesting line. He bowled on middle and leg and sometimes leg stump. Sometimes he got it wrong and bowled outside leg and got picked off. It was very negative but what do you expect in a 20/20 game I guess it is all about not getting smashed for six. Would hope that in his FC games he bowls a more attacking and inviting line.

Vettori in 20/20s bowls off stump to middle and off stump.

It could also just be that Beard's radar was off that day and he was trying to bowl off stump - but it seemed deliberately on that line.

Unadkat has been on fire in the past few months. He definitely had something when I saw him in the U19 WC but I never knew it would bring him such rapid success in adult cricket.

He's rather medium pace though right? .

Nah, I think you are thinking of Netravalkar, who took the new ball. Unadkat didn't play all the games and was first change, he bowled at 130-135kph but looked like he had a fair bit of zip and potential to push on his pace higher. He took 14 wickets on FC debut against West Indies A in England.

[Howsie]

Ah yes, my mistake. Although now that I've seen that clip I've realised that I have seen him bowl before He was the young lad Wasim was talking up too iirc.

 

[G.I.Joe]

I say we fast track Undakat into the Indian team and ruin him

 

[Manee]

Ah yes, my mistake. Although now that I've seen that clip I've realised that I have seen him bowl before He was the young lad Wasim was talking up too iirc.

Yes. Wasim is a KKR coach, I believe and I just hope he can give Unadkat some good advice about swing and going around the wicket to the great effect that Wasim utilised it.

What, ruining Pathan wasn't enough? Great player doesn't necessarily equate to great coach.

 

[Manee]

Ah yes, my mistake.

Netravalkar, on the other hand, hasn't made his FC debut. I am interested to see what becomes of him, whether he fades like Argal (who was similar in that he was successful in the previous U19 WC, didn't get FC chance immediately and was a very medium new ball bowler) or really kicks on when he gets a chance.

 

[Manee]

Did Wasim ruin Pathan? I seriously have not heard anything of the sort. Great player does not equal great coach, but great thinking bowler usually equals great thinking bowler's coach.

I'm blaming Wasim, and that's the story I'm sticking to Nah, seriously I think our bowlers are over coached. There's got to be a reason why the promising ones invariably start off decently and then fall back in line. I don't think it's merely a matter of being found out too. They even lose any pace thay had to start off with.

I've heard the theory that Greg Chappell ruined Pathan by messing with his head and pushing him up the order when he should have been concentrating on his bowling.
