I'm guessing a bowler may have... But I know what you mean.
And Kane is going to destroy this statistic you bring and throw it in your face.
In your face.

Let the bloke be given more chance.
A future star, i'd say.

I just watched the replay of the match last night. His dismissal didn't strike me as him really failing or doing too much wrong. No need for alarm he can ease his way into the international circuit. All it'll take is a score next match and he'll be all over the news and hyped up as the next great like Haider's done for pakistan.....
Wait till his played 10 or so matches then we should be rating him.

Look, lets face it - he looked terrible. He got a pretty good ball but no-one should be getting bowled middle stump by an outswinger like that. And he couldn't get bat on the loose ones on his pads, either.
That said, it doesn't mean much. I still have the utmost faith in the kid. He's going to be a gun - a nervous start doesn't change that.

Maybe... But I agree with the sentiment above - let's see how he copes for at least this series. I'm sure he'll make runs at some point.

Haha well he's got my support, so that's a bad sign.

It also explains Hay's decline.

Funny thing is Sinclair actually picked up a duck on ODI debut too.

Yeah he didn't look comfortable in the crease but for some reason I think he has something special about him.
From only the 2 balls from the highlights I can analyze
he seems to resemble Ricky Ponting's technique. Unlike all the other **** NZ batsmen, when he was beaten outside off-stump he timed his feet movement to perfection rather then moving them after the ball passes the bat. Even when he got bowled, he shaped to play the ball onto the on-side with good footwork and getting behind the ball.
This was probably the worst time to debut, staring at an early collapse against a medium pacer that is swinging it big both ways. Might even been better if he faced somebody like Dale Steyn, at least would have had some pace to work with.
