I remember when Matthew Bell picked him out as being something a bit of the ordinary in terms of his pace. Hugely exciting prospect. That last over was wonderful, he was just beating the yarpie batsmen for pace with every ball, and was a tad unlucky not to get a couple more tbh. Haven't really seen him swing it much yet, but the length he's been bowling so far has kind of been too short for him to have much chance. At this current age he can probably only keep up that kind of pace for short concentrated bursts. But if he stays fit (huge if), we may have a genuine greyhound ready for the 2015 world cup.

What was interesting was Coach Bond estimated Milne and McClenaghan were around the same pace.
Now McClenaghan is obviously coming off a big injury, and he has a lot of improvement left to make in his bowling (imo Milne is further along already, and the results are showing it), but geez, having a left and right arm genuine pace attack with Mason's domestic ability and Bracewell's reverse swing could be great fun if it all clicks.

It was a pity that Bracewell got it so wrong today, as he looked a talent in the first game. Hope his confidence doesn't take too much of a knocking.

Oh noes. NZ world beating awesomeness teenager #107 (as mentioned on CW) in the past 5 years. Forget Pakistan's spot fixing, NZ's incredible talent is the thing that will devastate cricket. Watching their reserve reserve sides utterly decimate every other nation making the game a procession will kill cricket as a spectator sport.
How is anyone else supposed to take these things seriously when there's so much ridiculous rhetoric? The guy got pummelled when you'd have thought he took 3 wickets whilst every other ball was a play and miss going by posts made above.
Hopefully he will turn out to be a good fast bowler, but there needs to be some objectivity here.

Probably good guidelines too - it's just that the NZ cricket fraternity carry on with it regardless.

Haha, Brent Arnel to confirm.

Hopefully Bond is using his experience of spending years on the sideline to inform him about what does and doesn't work in terms of staying fit to guide him. Milne has already had a serious shoulder injury last year, so I'm already well prepared for when it all goes wrong.

Presumably this part is a piss take as it took the Warriors all of 5 balls to put the kid onto the roof.

Final over tbh. They looked shocked. No doubt he was smashed in his early overs.
