Almost as dire as your constant bagging of Steven Smith last year. No-one cares about whatever ****ty opinion you want to share with us, you've got a young bowler ripping through the opposition and you're posting crap like this?

Enjoying the spell; a wonderful of bowling against NZ, is one thing.

Comparing him to Dale Steyn is another.

The comment regarding Australia having the best pace attack by the next Ashes was the best. Based on what? Two debutants? Come on :laugh:

Gotta feel for Siddle to be honest, Pattinson get all the edges at one end and Siddle's too good to get the edges at the other, cricket's a funny game sometimes....

No over-reaction. It's New Zealand and he's on debut. No one is saying he'd go out on a flat Adelaide Oval and run through England today. The point is that we have known about guys like Pattinson, Hazelwood and Starc for several years. They'd have played much more international cricket already except for injuries. They are all only 21. Then Cummins comes along almost out of no where. Now maybe all of them won't come good (and Starc doesn't impress yet), but we'd be pretty stiffed if two at least don't. Then we still have others as back up. A guy like Siddle will have to really lift his game to stay in the side.

So yeah, one game against a minnow doesn't make you the next Lillee, but the depth and quality of young quicks we have coming through is unprecedented in my time memory. Just a shame the batting cupboard is bare.

I said if he can consistently produce that sort of bowling, he would be Australia's Steyn. There's a lot of stock-ish bowlers floating around and not so many dangerous ones who could produce this sort of spell.

Actually no I retract that, this guy is clearly **** and this spell is an aberration. I don't even know how he manages to grip a ball because he's so ********.

No, no, I'm clearly wrong actually. 1 good bouncer and 3 hopeless wafts outside off stump are all you need to be proclaimed as an atg. I just hope that the ICC have the same foresight as you do and induct him into the hall of fame before the end of the year. It would be a travesty otherwise.

All NZT is saying is that if he can produce this sort of spell consistently, he can be like Dale Steyn.
