*Official* - Pakistan in New Zealand 2010/2011

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.

Tell them all about it.

Milne is awesome **** the haters.

 

[Xuhaib]

god I hate Umer Akmal such a punchable face.

 

[Howsie]

Southee's such a fantastic death bowler these days, it's incredible how quickly he's improved in a short period of time.

Aren't talkback morons the worst offenders when it comes to desperation for pace?

 

[Flem274*]

love it when batsmen scoop it onto the stumps.

 

[Zinzan]

Mark Richardson is just soooo bad it estimating whether someone has managed to clear the boundary or not. Really funny.

Agree, Richardson's like Marc Ellis for me in that when I first saw him on TV, I thought he was quirky & refreshing, whereas now I just find him painful & predictable.

 

[BeeGee]

Afridi Terrible shot.

 

[Prince EWS]

Mills in the last four overs. Yay.

They're also the best at abusing players randomly.

I'd say pace is far more than peripherally related to success. On it's own, it is worthless though.

Awful from Southee and Afridi in nearly equal measure there. I hate how Doull and Richardson are falling over themselves to talk about how great a death bowler tim Southee is, when all he really did was bowl a sequence of knee high full tosses that should've been smashed.

 

[Zinzan]

TH in judging players on how well they do shocker

Haha, you love being different TH, admit it

 

[thierry henry]

Stfu mills you lunatic!

A bowler gets smashed and take no wickets and it's "random abuse" to say he's not bowling well?

 

[Flem274*]

Why do I get the feeling Milne will bowl the last over?

Should have bowled him out before now imo.

 

[thierry henry]

Haha, you love being different TH, admit it

No, I don't

Obviously though I'm not really interested in repeating things that have been said 1000 times before, I'd rather focus on popular opinions that I genuinely think are wrong

 

[Chewie]

Franklin to bowl the last over? :/

 

[Xuhaib]

so Razzaq in for last 15 balls when Shafiq was given 12 overs moronic stuff.

See, I'm actually 100% with Simon Doull on this. Concentrate on raw pace first, then work on the other subtleties. Same for young spinners, learn how to spin the ball first.

 

[Chewie]

Wouldn't have expected him to drop that :/
