A shame. You probably popped out a bit late to catch Paddles' 9-fer at the 'Gabba that yearWell I wasn't born for another 10 years, so...

Dodemaide wasnt a bad bowler to be fair.That wonderful opening-attack of Merv Hughes and Tony Dodemaide...
What's the odds on Tait, Hilfenhaus et al turning-out like him and David Gilbert?
Bit unfair on Dodemaide, methinks. Especially as an ODI bowler, and an average of 28 isn't too bad in Tests...That wonderful opening-attack of Merv Hughes and Tony Dodemaide...

the difference between these last few games by NZ and that 1982/83 game was that the 82/83 game was so far out of kilter from everything else that had happen previously, and for a number of year after as well.Well it felt something pretty similar when NZ chased-down Australia's 330-plus scores twice in a row (and they damn near did a similar thing 2 years ago, remember).
shhh...its because he has probably never heard of him until he just saw the scorecard!!!Bit unfair on Dodemaide, methinks. Especially as an ODI bowler, and an average of 28 isn't too bad in Tests...
Dodemaide was no great bowler. He got 2 7-fors and not a lot else. Had he played in an era less rich in seam-bowling talent he'd probably have played more and had a lesser record.Dodemaide wasnt a bad bowler to be fair.
Bull****.shhh...its because he has probably never heard of him until he just saw the scorecard!!!![]()
let me just reel this one inBull****.
Tony Dodemaide is a very, very well-known figure as an administrator over here, in case you don't know. But he certainly wasn't a particularly good Test bowler.
And if I hadn't heard of him, how come I know names like Rex Sellars and David Sincock?
The funny thing is Richard, he probably wasnt the worst bowler you'll NEVER see, so how you make judgements about a player based on his cricinfo profile or whatever is beyond me.Please stop making assumptions about players you have little knowledge of, because you look foolish I am afraidDodemaide was no great bowler. He got 2 7-fors and not a lot else. Had he played in an era less rich in seam-bowling talent he'd probably have played more and had a lesser record.
No, he wasn't the worst you'll ever see but he certainly wasn't anywhere close to the McDermott-Reid-Alderman-Lawson league.
nah, you are already netted, skinned, gutted, sat on the shelf at Tescos, bought, cooked, eaten, and expelled from the body, and flushed back out to sea.Let me just yank this line into the river...
So you know that I have NEVER and will NEVER see him bowl, do you?The funny thing is Richard, he probably wasnt the worst bowler you'll NEVER see, so how you make judgements about a player based on his cricinfo profile or whatever is beyond me.Please stop making assumptions about players you have little knowledge of, because you look foolish I am afraid
No-one said he was a great bowler, but he was a pretty good bowler, you initially intimated that he was a poor bowler, which he wasnt
You watched that as well, did you...nah, you are already netted, skinned, gutted, sat on the shelf at Tescos, bought, cooked, eaten, and expelled from the body, and flushed back out to sea.
Done like a kipper![]()
yeah pretty much, I doubt that you have seen much more than the odd ball of highlights.So you know that I have NEVER and will NEVER see him bowl, do you?
watched what???You watched that as well, did you...
There's a surprise.yeah pretty much, I doubt that you have seen much more than the odd ball of highlights.
And if you had watched much of him, why the hell are you making out he was such a poor bowler. You either havent seen him play, or you are a pretty poor judge of the game.....
actually..yeah you probably have watched him..I will go with the second of the two above options
Said instance.watched what???
well you dont know he would have been better, its speculation, you may well have been right, but no-one knows.Well Terry Alderman wasn't totally unlike that, either, but the two aren't close to being in the same league (and Alderman would've been even better than he was but for injuries and electing for rebel-tours).
