Getting beyond silly that Sammy insists on bowling at this partnership now.
Heard a lot about his batting (obv) but this is the first time I've really seen anything more encouraging than a decent back defence; looks really assured at the moment. Easy to see why he's expected to develop into an allrounder.Yeah he's always been known as an allrounder through the junior ranks. Ian Smith maintains he has more batting ability than bowling ability and he's batted as high as seven for CD. Scored a stack of runs in the Emerging Players tournament that originally got him selected internationally as well.
I took the 4/1 on New Zealand to win the Test so I'm not complaining350 up.
A pox on your piddling 320s Poos.
There's been a few I can think of that are probably higher (cbf checking) - with Southee vs England (Southee's debut), and also with Oram vs Australia in about 2005.This must be one of the higher partnerships featuring Martin, mustn't it?
And straight away Rampaul takes the wicket.Sammy off. If he'd continued here he might've actually got sacked on the spot.
