Colin de Grandhomme, so mysterious.

 

[SteveNZ]

A Zimbabwean finally took a catch!!!!!!!

Haha nice, I like it.

 

[thierry henry]

Big question mark over CdG being on the field is appropriate imo

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

A Zimbabwean finally got a run-out!!!!!!

"The player formerly known as Colin de Grandhomme", and who now goes by the symbol "?", is amazing.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Tom Petty runs himself out.

Was one of those ones where the wicket should be credited against his partner.

Either way, it's correct.

specialist fielder

Colin de Grandhomme. Born July 22, 1986. Harare, Zimbabwe.

It's that scary point in your life where a lot of current professional sportsmen are younger than you.

I'm older than him by just under two months.

Ellis throws a heavy ball

 

[Tricia McMillan]

Ellis throws a heavy ball

Yeah, he makes some very flat passes from the breakdown...

 

[thierry henry]

The annoying thing about Ellis is that he has a nice fast-medium bowlers run-up, which is completely wasted by a ridiculously truncated delivery stride and front-on/inside-out action, which is then in turn salvaged by blatantly chucking. Just bowl properly ****.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

He's a mother ****ing ball magnet.

 

[thierry henry]

Given how Taylor is still toying with us, it worries me a little about our prospects when South Africa come and we have to play batsman who are, like, good

So, that Kane Williamson. How about his bowling?

 

[SteveNZ]

Say all you want about de Grandhomme, and some do (with justification I'll add) but to take those two catches nervelessly in your first time in the field for NZ, under lights (I doubt he's ever played under them, at least not for a long long time), the fact they were both tough chances...gutsy. Given the right coaching and mental application to batting, playing internationally won't phase him.

Ugly. We're running with 2 pretty bad chuckers atm, not cool.

Tom Latham and Adam Milne are the first guys from memory that have been born after me. It is ****ing scary actually.

He showed fellow Zimbos how to actually hold on to cricket ball, only that he's wearing the wrong shirt

 

[Zinzan]

Is it just me or is Doull getting more & more unbearable in the comm box as the years go on?
