He's also one of the things you seem to like in a cricketer though - a military medium pacer who slams conventional wisdom by actually being effective as a Test bowler. Nuwan would be proud.

Not sure if anyone else heard the radio comms yesterday repeat a comment by Amla, describing Vernon Philander as 'South Africa's Colin De Grandhomme'.

haha, but rather than playing this role on the back of a successful FC career doing so, he is a rich man's part-timer being asked to play a totally unfamiliar role in test cricket- which is another thing I don't like

Haha I called CdG "Kiwi Philander" a few times on Facebook, but that's a glorious step beyond that. Amla WAG.Not sure if anyone else heard the radio comms yesterday repeat a comment by Amla, describing Vernon Philander as 'South Africa's Colin De Grandhomme'.

Perhaps his medium pace style was so under-rated that it even ensured he was underbowled at domestic level.haha, but rather than playing this role on the back of a successful FC career doing so, he is a rich man's part-timer being asked to play a totally unfamiliar role in test cricket- which is another thing I don't like
There's never been anything wrong with his average; he just hasn't always bowled heaps. I've suggested that perhaps he kept a good average by only being used when he was likely to be effective but that doesn't suit my point for this conversation so lets forget that for a minute.
And you aren't jimmy hendrix so f*** off you useless c***

Nah cdg is a test opener. Santner is a batsman and 2nd fiddle spinner that cant really bat
No my old lover was bob and he was a vegan. Can we get back to the cricket please.

I always though this would be the case back when he was playing Under 19 cricket.
The fact that he's a Test opening bowler for New Zealand definitely would've thrown me though...

It's called the Andrew Ellis Protocol, if you are not better than Andrew Ellis in either batting or bowling, then you are not a specialist. If you're not better than him in one form, then you're at best a part-timer or specialist.
Andrew Ellis is the line all players should be measured to for he is both not good enough and not bad enough to be considered a genuine batsman/bowler. CDG comes up short in the bowling
Yeah bit too much but I thought he was gonna sing for me but he is a fake . Let me down.
Cdg is a better bowler and a batsman than Santner though. Easily in the bowling.
