Yeah, that's why I only said he's "rubbish atm". He's 145-150, clueless and not accurate, which means he's right up there with your Daren Powells and Mohammed Samis.

Definitely a prospect but that's really not saying much imo. Being fast with the potential to bowl faster is a long, long way from being potentially a good international bowler.

Haha @ that comparison given he's yet to bowl a wide in his 6 overs so far. Granted he been slightly lacking in the accuracy stakes, but you're assessment of him is a tad premature isn't it?

Every time I've seen Younis Khan bat in a limited overs match in the last 18 months he has been hopeless

He's always been pretty bad in limited overs cricket. He's played some good innings when in peak form but he's always been a bit over-rated in it due to his Test exploits.

Milne doesn't get as much movement. Needs Bond to teach him about that as well.

Pakistan need to get a move on here. These two batsman are losing the game.

Was getting decent movement off the seam, tbf. And he might be quicker than Aamer by a fair margin. But overall Aamer was better by some distance, yes.

hehe, epic wide

Sami and Powell are examples of borderline express bowlers who are terrible. It's not necessarily because they bowl massive wides all over the place.

Premature? Is it not premature to be excited by a bowler who has thus far been completely ineffective?

I think he's promising too, but there's a big difference between being a "promising fast bowler" and a "bowler with the potential to bowl fast".

Well, if you think he's promising & you're not disputing his raw pace, what are you arguing about? :p

Milne just doesn't look comfotable bowling around the 150 mark yet. Should just focus on putting it in good areas, even if it means bowling low 140's.

I think he's promising to the extent that an 18 year old who can bowl 150kph is pretty much unheard of in NZ.

Ultimately though atm all we know is that he's certainly capable of bowling crap, and he's good at something that's maybe peripherally related to being successful. Not quite anything to write home about.
