r.p singh is lightyears better than southee ,are you forgetting r.p singh debuted on the
Southee is 20 and will only get faster and the guy swings it around corners I'd pick him every day of the week in swinging conditions. Though TBF I'd take RP on a flat pitch with nothing in it for the bowlers brings something different to the attack does RP.
more talented ??????????????
balaji??
How much have you seen Southee play mate?
I think you aren't giving the entire NZ their due.
Not really. Singh is faster, but their average speeds are about 140 and 135 respectively, so its hardly a massive difference
Nope
Nope and nope.
after couple of ODI series and his performance in England RP was also hailed as future of Indian bowling ..so don't go the same with southee think he need to perform well for 10-12 test until you can say he is good ..
Well his performance in the U19 WC is another reason why Southee is so highly rated.
That wasn't really a big issue for me. There a lots of guys who do well in U19 cricket and then sink without a trace. What really impressed me about Southee was how seemlessly he transitioned from U19 into FC, and then from FC into test cricket. At no point has he ever looked out of his depth or overwhelmed by the situation he has found himself in. The only other New Zealand cricketer I can think of who has ever made a similarly superb start at such a young age is Daniel Vettori, and that says a lot.
17 Wickets at 6.64 is pretty Average TBH
Well I didn't really want to get caught up in all the hype and actually argued against his initial selection in the BlackCaps wanting him to have a few more years at the domestic level. But yeah you called it when you said he hasn't looked out of his depth (aside from when there is nothing in the pitch on offer but so do the rest of the Kiwi's). I think he'll learn the game from the international level and as the years go by his bowling variety will become immense. And when he feels his bowling games at its best he could probably work on his batting a bit too (ala Vettori), he's a very exciting prospect and I'm glad he's been in the Black Caps setup, Bracewell's regime did that bit of good.
Yeah you'd really expect less than 5 to be the benchmark.17 Wickets at 6.64 is pretty Average TBH
newzealand thrasing us is as improbable as chris martin scoring a century.
southee is decent and has potential to be good but he does have natural talents like rp singh and rp singh has better performances and has played more than him.I'm generally one of the first to keep Southee away from non-helpful conditions, but RP Singh is not better than him. That is very clear.
EDIT: And if Bahnz isn't being miserable and whingy about a kiwi, you know he's better than someone.
i have watched every new zealand match and i know how weak their batting is
