could be our leggy, offie, left arm orthodox all in one.

 

[Smudge]

No love for the poster Goughy?

 

[morgieb]

Didn't JBMAC claim that he played first class games or something.

I remember him claiming some guy who bowled with Dennis Lillee in Tests once posted on here.

 

[Athlai]

social, Julian87 and SteveNZ have all played at pretty high levels, if memory serves (making a few assumptions here about playing roles, but whatever).

Riggins has taken the wicket of noted NSW 2nd XI and Ireland Grade batsman Nick Larkin, if I'm not mistaken, so he slots in.

Ideally an opening bat who bowls spin. Anton Devcich, we know you're reading. Sign up to complete our XI.

Love the Anton bait.

 

[Prince EWS]

vic, of course, knew I missed a really obvious one somewhere. Didn't realise BFP played at that high a level either.

I always feel a bit weird 'outing' people for being good at cricket, but BFP has actually played at a higher senior level than vic if you equate the standard of New Zealand domestic cricket to the standard of Australian domestic cricket.

 

[Hurricane]

I'd be interested in seeing how a NZ XI of regular posters would stack up against the English or our trans tasman bretheren

Our team would look something like this

1) Blocky - he can open no idea if he is a bat or bowler
2) Hendrix so he can emulate Latham at the top of the order
3) NZ Tailender or KiwiNinja at the pivotal 3 position
4) Hurricane (life time average of 20 in club cricket)
5) SteveNZ - captain
6) Strawman probably does a bit of both
7) Kippax - keeper
8) BFP - left arm othodox we will open the bowling with him.
9) Smudge - bowls some decent leggies apparently
10) Flem - bowls leg spin - can be a decent night watchman apparently
11) Heef - bowls some reasonable left arm over medium pace

12th man Athlai as I think he told me doesn't play the game just follows it.

I think our team would revolve around SteveNZ, BFP, and Blocky.

If I were to start playing cricket again I'd probably just revert to cute little mediums but realistically in a team where Steve and BFP exist I'm a specialist number eleven stonewaller.

 

[Maximas]

Wasn't Son of Coco decent as well?

My Laxman-esque wrists surely putting me into contention?

look junaid you bowled like **** last night, you're cut.

 

[Zinzan]

Martin Crowe legitimately counts IMO. Signed up to talk cricket. Ripping into zinzan came later.

Haha, trust you to misrepresent it, over-dramatise it and make it out to be something it wasn't. I merely (and genuinely so) questioned his authenticity (along with a few other posters as well) based on general skepticism added to by the fact there was some fairly ordinary grammar used in said members posts (something not apparent in his recent cricinfo articles, in fact he writes quite beautifully for them). He then appeared upset with the skepticism and left. I don't recall any specific 'ripping' into me (or any other individual poster for that matter), however if it makes you happy fabricating that particular version of the story, be my guest.

Got Ahmed Shehzad out during a practice session once

I looked back at the thread and see that all posts that upset Crowe were deleted. I think I missed this whole incident when it happened, genuinely forgot Crowe signed up.

I can bowl underarm.

zinzan got ripped into

I did end up opening the batting in my last two seasons of club cricket, more so as an inner joke as I'd pretty much always been an opener throughout my entire cricketing history..... just got too old and broken to do it with the ball.

I'd be off the short run, bowling my club special Head, Head, Foot, Head, Head, Foot - dreaming that I was still capable of 140kmh.
