Cant believe theres a thread about a guy who bowled 90 mph in one over of a t20 and did nothing else.

Wider context.
His First Class record has had a nice start, Adam Milne | New Zealand Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | Cricinfo.com and he has some ability with the ball.
I think he's a promising player to keep an eye on, and considering Kane Williamson had a thread as a 17 year old, this isn't OTT imo.
EDIT: Thread was created during the emotional high of seeing a promising CD bowler bowl 90mph on the world stage, I'll grant you.

I dont think his performance against the Warriors is justification for this thread though. Sounds to me like you've been wanting to start this thread well before the tournament, which is fine.
I watched him bowl the other day and quite frankly other than being able to bowl at a brisk pace for his age he doesnt really look like anything special.

We have a massive thread for a guy who has done nothing but make a Rocky training video so this is an extensive resume by comparison.

Theres nothing wrong with it, but if you're going to start a thread on someone it seems to me completely illogical to talk up the performance of a guy who got pasted in all but 1 over.This is a cricket forum, shock horror, people are getting excited over an exciting young prospect.
What's so bad about it?

Did you see that over though?
Was the most fun I've had watching an NZ bowler since Bond and O'Brien retired.

Premature thread though really, the kid has only played five domestic games afterall.

Not trying to cover up your betrayal of ND last night are you?WW?

@peopleingeneral: Anyway, this thread was meant to be half serious talk half wafg etc. Jesus, with the ten thousand Flintoff and Pakistan threads, and considering Williamson had his own thread before he'd played a FC match and Atul Sharma doesn't exist, I didn't think making a thread on Adam Milne would cause so much pain and suffering to people's cricketwebbing.
I'll let you get back to ranting at Pakistan and debating whether Andrew Flintoff really was good at picking his nose.

A game? He'd almost finished his first domestic seasonDamn it, I know what Howsie is going to post.
Howsie's thread was after he played a game, but I'm sure he had a thread before he played FC. I remember the talk on here when he was 17.
Us ND fans aren't as desperate as your lot

Ross Taylor tbhGet rid of the hangers-on and provide the country with some international quality for once huh
EDIT: Actually, Taylor vs Vettori in batting would be a very interesting comparison...

Bothers me too. Doesn't look the best if you wanted to avoid injury.
I seriously hope injuries don't destroy him. Seems to destroy every other promising bowler we get.

How can a thread about a promising young cricketer on a cricket forum be premature?
The kid looks handy, not too many 18 year olds bowling that pace. I look forward to seeing how he does this FC season, should be a really interesting one. I love following the FC cricket season, wish it was televised.
