Who were the quickest?

Andy Mathieson, some guy from CD who I don't know the name of. Lockie Ferguson could really crank it up as well.

Then there was another group of bowlers who were about the same speed, if not marginally slower, such as myself, Ili Tugaga, Logan Van Beek and Anurag Verma.

Bugger, no radio reception in my room and online radio requires some download. Looks as if its up to you guys, who wants to be a commentator? :p

Greg Campbell just said he was 46 but according to cricinfo he is 44.

Campbell lieing (making excuses?) or cricinfo dodgy as ever?

I'd be interested on Jimmys opinion of Verma, he's not particularly threatening imo but he could be a late developer, plus if he had awesome variation he'd be a good OD medium pacer.

Mathieson on his day is a good couple of yards quicker than Fuller. If Fuller bowls 137, then I wouldn't say low 140s would be out of the question.

Does he still bowl short and wide, cause a few years back he was quick but would just bowl rubbish.

He's a good solid seam bowler. Malaysia would probably be the worst place in the world for him to bowl because he relies on movement off the deck.

Before the tour started, I saw MS Dhoni trotted out the usual "New Zealand don't have individual talent...they come together and do the basics well"...that may still link strongly to our test side, but I think it's total bollocks now with the ODI side.

You can't tell me the likes of Vettori, Taylor, McCullum, Mills and now potentially Guptill aren't a star in their own right??

100% AWTA.

It doesn't help that we (our media) play along with that **** though. You work on radio don't you? How far have you come to shouting "bull****!" at hosts who I won't name (don't really wanna throw (too much) mud at your colleagues)?
