Yeah...was probably around the same time. By the way, how much did you miss out on the U19 WC by? Did you automatically get a crack at the team by winning that fast bowling comp?

Was absolutely nowhere near it. Was only playing for Auckland u17s when the WC team was named. After u17 nationals I was asked to go to the camps for the Eng tour and everything pretty much went from there. Even our manager Kevin Pulley told me he'd never heard of me before I was picked for Eng.

So how good are those pom boy's?Was absolutely nowhere near it. Was only playing for Auckland u17s when the WC team was named.

Even our manager Kevin Pulley told me he'd never heard of me before I was picked for Eng.
Not overly better than us, just more experienced. If I had to pick an Eng and NZ team it'd probably be about half and half on skills alone. Experience was a massive factor on that tour though.
I rate him as a batsman, not really as a left armer. He's also one of the most mentally unstable people I've ever met. Goes totally ape**** at himself after he gets out and will sulk for hours.
Hahaha, i've met guys like that. It's always a good laugh when they get back to the changing rooms (or if you play in my grade, grass embankment) and start throwing all of their **** around shouting expletives. Hope it doesnt hamper his game, cause NZ seriously need some decent openers in the future.
I think people like that are embarrassing. I'm so glad I'm not one of them.
During the tour we actually had the "Worker **** (rhymes with duck) counter." After he got out in the second test he got up to something ridiculous like 65. He just sat on the bench, staring at the ground saying "****...****....... ****ing hell....... ****.......... ****...... ****."
For 2 hours.
Hahahaa...what a legend.
I only really get pissed if I get out doing something stupid (like slashing to to gully, or trying to hoick a spinner out of the ground). The i'll say something like "you're a ****ing idiot" and maybe thow my gear off...then forget about it and play french cricket on the boundary. When I was 12-13 there was a guy in my club team who used to cry every time he got out, no matter what happened. Now that was embarassing.

Back then I was an absolute shocker. There was ALWAYS and excuse for why I got out. My personal best was: "That umpire gave me a bull**** centre call!" after getting bowled off stump, first ball, leaving it.
What a gun.
Yeah, I used to make excuses. Now I accept decisions pretty well...except when I edge a full toss into the ground, which the keeper collects and then the umpire gives me out caught behind...that umpire was a ****ing idiot.
