Not Terrible

A few years ago with all the Canterbury stars (Cairns, Harris, McMillan, Fleming, Astle, Bond, etc) it would basically have consisted of the majority of the Black Caps' main side. To see the likes of Wagner, Hiini, Burtt, etc not only in the Canterbury side but in a theoretical South Island XI just goes to show how low on firepower the Cantabs' are now.

To be fair Burtt is a pretty good bowler, and Wagner is an unknown quantity...he could be a star.

It is quite remarkable how the power balance has shifted in recent years to the north.

yea sorry i forgot Jamie How, the guys a legend I dont know what came over me. I simply didnt see a need for Daniel Flynn in that side, as for Griggs I do rate him as our best backup keeper option.

Nah man not just one bad game. That guy had become synonymous with bad games did you see the truck load of bad decisions he gave...

I remember one in adelaide when tendulkar was given lbw when he ducked and the ball hit him on his shoulder :blink:

Either way, both Harper and Bucknor are atrocious. The only umpires I rate are Taufel, Dar, Rauf and to a lesser extent Bowden. The others are bloody terrible.
