**Official** England in New Zealand

[_Ed_]

Lance Hamilton not almost O'Brien-esque?

Don't forget Tama Canning and Jeff Wilson (the comeback version, the young Wilson was alright).

Matthew Walker, Richard Jones...

 

[JBH001]

Broad has bowled his heart out though. A 13 over spell where he has kept it tight in tandem with MSP. Reckon Sidebottom will finish off from his end soon (probably the next over) with Panesar continuing from his end. Shows how much faith Vaughan has in Anderson.

Any chance McCullum goes for the Nathan Astle record?

Any chance that McCullum will top edge a full toss straight up in the air to mid-off 5th ball?

Neither IMO. 42-ball 36 FTW.

 

[Days of Grace]

Elliott is a redneck in-bred rubbish domestic cricketer. They are all alike. Average 20 with the bat, 40 with the ball. Pathetic.

Absolutely dire.

**** this ****.

Knew there was someone, but couldn't find him on the recent-debutants list.

Canning wasn't the absolute worst tho was he?

 

[Richard]

Matthew Walker, Richard Jones...

Walker was a good bowler though wasn't he? Just didn't get the opportunities, Ian Butler and the like preferred. Jones was poor but surely not as bad in his single Test as Elliott has been?

 

[JBH001]

Difficult to blame Elliot though for being so blatantly not good enough. Look to the NZ selectors though in all their wisdom.

[NZTailender]

Shot, Macca. Agree with Rigour here - play a long innings.

 

[Days of Grace]

Andrew Penn.

Warren Wisneski

the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on





















and on.

Fair points.

Andrew Penn.

Warren Wisneski

Good call, forgot both of those. For good reason.

Kerry Walmsley? Nah come to think of it he was slightly above this level. He was mediocre.

Andrew Penn.

Warren Wisneski

the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

If New Zealand had better selectors than other countries, they might still be able to be up near the top of the tree. Surely some of these players, even despite the absurd number of injuries in recent years, shouldn't have played?

The 2000-2008 rubbish wanker NZ team:

1. Papps
2. Bell
3. Richard Jones
4. Sinclair
5. Elliott
7. McGlashan (wk)
8. Brooke Walker
9. Penn
10. O'Brien
11. Hamilton


We shall repress our memories of 'em.

Finally, someone smacks a short delivery where the damn things belong - the square-leg boundary.

Recent times. I.e. <2 years.

Agree with all those except Papps and Sinclair. And still hope Papps might come back to Tests and have an acceptible Test career.

Brooke Walker

Ah, the memories.

How about Grant Bradburn?

GAGFC. Sinclair is awes while Jones hardly got a lengthy run, and is certainly not the worst to play for NZ.

James Marshall and Paul Wiseman to replace.

Tama Canning talked a good game. So much so that he buggered off to WA as soon as the going got tough for getting an international slot!
