Nice looking on drive by McClure against McCleneghan.

Yeah I wouldn't look for him to be up near the top of T20 economy charts with what he's producing with this new action.

His bowling has always been good in 4-5 day stuff. Which is a post I have made many times. He is a slower ball away from being another Dimitri Masceranhas in pajama cricket. However due to his predictability he is cannon fodder in List As.
His bowling is good enough to be a genuine 5th bowler in tests, but not good enough to be a 6th bowler in ODIs

Watched Bracewell's wicket balls and they were fairly uninspiring - a couple of decent bouncers at the tail the only thing worth noting. His competition in Henry however didn't make much impression at all.

What do you like about Nicholls btw? Seems to be preparing for the favoured slog-sweep and hook/pull but still looks unbalanced even when he hits those. I think it's his feet that don't move quickly and precisely enough. That and a fairly exaggerated bat arc from outside to in.

Well I think Nicholls came up because some posters were saying Latham belonged in Test matches basically (which I didn't really agree with). Nicholls does offer good strike rotation and power to be somewhat interesting at the top of the order in typical NZ white ball conditions (45 average in List A I think), But yeah I was advocating Will Young over Nicholls and Munro for this series.

Oh ok, I'll keep an eye on him as a LO batsman.
Some fine Munroing in that video of him too - a good crack on a few pull shots interspersed with a random charge and horrendous dabs against spin, though it's hard to see how he wasn't struck outside the line with that lbw.

Yeah it's become a bit of a mystery as to why domestic captains are ever opting for anything other than spin to Munro, even with Plunket Shield pitches being the way the are.
He's proven for several seasons now that he's going to gorge himself at a 100+ SR on your conventional bowling rotations, so there's not a whole lot to lose.

What I gathered from that video is that he's strong with anything coming in at the body/leg side but dubious on things moving away outside off.

I think Munro can hurt spin bowlers with his charges, swipes, reverse sweeps etc so there are some quick runs to lose, however you'd still back a good spinner to take care of him.
Battle of the old-ball and tail-cleaner-uppers for NZA, which is actually something of continuing relevance to the NZ team. Milne's three wickets beating Wagner, Astle and Sodhi with one each so far.

A lot of his offside play does degenerate into a nasty swipe with the very hard and dominant bottom hand.
Luckily Hesson will never discriminate against a lack of élan.

Is it just me or has he slightly modified his action?
