Me mate Dave is a guru...unlike yourself

You lose all credibility by suggesting Butler is a better batsman than Mills...Butler bats behind D De Boorder for gods sake at Otago...and he's muck

Secondly, i dont care how bad YOU think Southee is bowling he should NEVER be replaced by Thompson. I dont need me mate Dave to tell me that, who is a guru i might add

But apparentely youre around the Aces team a bit, so you should know that Guptil is very average as a 4 day player and as we've seen a very good player in T20/ODIs. This is simply because he has figured out how to play those versions quicker. So why not let him develop further in first class and then come up when his game is more polished....thats what me mate Dave reckons and he's a guru

so stop hiding behind opinions and give me/ me mate Dave (the guru) reasons why im wrong

I'm sorry trapol, but I tried to be jovial given your last post with my, sadly neglected, "Jimmy Expert" post but you come across as a belligerent ignoramous.

You are now on my ignore list.

That was for the 2020s. I simply said that because I believe Southee is very one-paced. That makes him cannon fodder for the likes of Sehwag, Dhoni and Raina. Thompson has a much better armoury of slower balls. I think the Indians would find it harder to smear Thompson to all corners.

But apparentely youre around the Aces team a bit, so you should know that Guptil is very average as a 4 day player and as we've seen a very good player in T20/ODIs.
In my opinion, batting is batting. The way I see it, Guptill is better than How in all forms.

HD Speed:

Please tell me what i have said in my last post that is incorrect? If Jimmy GS is as 'connected' as he suggests then maybe he should know that there is quite a difference between Guptil the white clothed player and Guptill the Coloured clothing player.

He would then be a bit smarter, you would think, than to say Butler is better than Mills at batting? or Thompson is better than Southee atm. Or Franklin isnt up to it. How many Test centuries has he got?

Im getting stuck into him a little as i wonder how some of his 'team mates' would react knowing he is on here either running them down or picking others. Where is his loyalty?

Yes you could argue that im being harsh here and perhaps i am but come on in some ways i expect more from him 'as he's supposed to be cricketer' than i do the rest of us wannabes who wish we could be there. In essence we all know **** all and just have our opinions which carry no weight...

If youre talking about the 'me mate dave' part of my posts... well that was just me trying to bring some humour to my posts. If i failed i apologise

By the way Jimmy GS

How ave 34 with 10 1st class centuries
Guptill ave 28 with 1 1st class century

This with Hows Ave of 23 in test cricket dragging him down.

How is a serious player as is Guptill. Both are our long term openers. However with Guptill unable to play the big shots in tests he doesnt have the game yet. Plus Guptill cant play spin...yet.... and needs games in ODIs to change that. Experience will cure this

I've actually been contemplating this for a while now. This has made me decide. I think I'll stop posting.

Cheers.

That's not a bad (if still poorly written) post. If you stopped behaving like a buffoon people might start to take you seriously.

Sounds like Trapol (or whatever) has an agenda here. Perhaps knows Jimmy or knows someone who knows someone who knows Jimmy. Either way, his bait stinks.

Oh, and location: London. Please.

Yeah, trapshut knows a bit, but he's being a **** and he needs to stop listening to this lover of his, or at least stop mentioning him.

Some random Dave guy has no credibility as a guru until A) he posts in person B) he stops talking out of his arse.

Hang on, after Straw Mans comment I've just got this post properly.

Jimmeh, you're not allowed to leave or I'll piss in the Auckland A drinkbottles.

If you're just going to stop replying to him though, then I won't. not

Firstly

I'll say it again...me mate Dave was just an attempt at humour. I said id apologise if it wasnt funny and you dont seem to think it is. SO IM SORRY GUYS. Please love me again.

Im not asking Jimmy to leave but once i heard he trains with the aces then i thought that he needs to be a litle careful with what he writes as there maybe a player or two who wont like a teammate doing this. nothing more sinister

Thirdly if you bother to read my posts i do know a shedload about cricket and i do believe i could start calling myself a guru!!! Ha......ok i'll stop

Perhaps let those people deal with him if they are unhappy. Stick to the topic at hand.

I have tried reading your posts on the game, however scrolling through the tremendous amount of **** you post renders anything of significance utterly insignificant.

Games have started in all but one fixture.

Cant killed McCleneganananan in the previous over after having started quite tidely.

Otago have lost Rutherford early, after he mistook some dude called Burns for a WI speedster.

Never heard of Burns - who is he?

I've heard the name, can't put him to a bowler though, Fast Medium swing bowler is my guess...
30 yr old left arm medium pacer. On the bottom of the list of wellingtons contracted players.

Never gets a game as he is a 4 day specialist, and only gets a run when the big guns are away.

Cant knock him though, hes down at the basin everyday bowling.

Not much chop though.
