Seriously de Grandomme isn't a ****ing test cricketer and he sure as hell isnt a better bowler then Kuggeleijn. What a farce

 

[Zinzan]

not confident in this new, bang it in slightly too short version of henry so pretty much wagner has to take 15 wickets in this test.

i miss the matt henry who first debuted in odis

As I said earlier, I really want him bowling a couple of feet fuller than he usually does.

my favourite doull-ism is when he puts on that faux-accent when he's trying to sound intelligent and sophisticated

it's especially common when india are playing

Disappointing with that, if nothing else it would have been exciting to see Henry, Kuggs and Wagner as our 3 seamers, just for the novelty factor. CGD can be handy if there's seams though.

 

[Howsie]

So can Kuggeleijn....

Isn't that 100% of the time?

I remember the old B-sport radio days when Doull once filled in for Smithy & did the show with Dean Lonergan, and Lonergan asked him if there's any reason he talks like such a 'Poncey ****".

 

[Meridio]

Henry a yard too short to start with, and his seam position is a bit all over the place.

i.e. the exact same problem he's had since he first came into the test team. Remind me why we have a bowling coach?

 

[Immenso]

It would have been interesting to see Henry play last week after a spell being back in domestics, might have learnt something about him , instead we opened with CDG.

This week. Well, he's spent a week in camp with Jurgensen. He's now a worse a bowler than 7 days ago. I'll still be in the dark.

 

[Meridio]

And what is with the around the wicket obsession?

 

[Zinzan]

Was too short for me that 1st over.

 

[Zinzan]

Better Henry...nice.

 

[Meridio]

Didn't need to play at that, did Tennis de Brain (as per Simon Doull pronunciation).

 

[NUFAN]

the brain wasn't working properly with that shot.

 

[SeamUp]

Such a non-opener shot that. They mustn't mess around with de Bruyn as well.

If it is time to move on from Cook, throw the kid Markram in.

 

[NZTailender]

Opening the bowling with CdG and Matt Horne (according to Rutherford). Dire times indeed.

 

[straw man]

Yes Henry

Latham didn't drop it, so now I'm expecting runs from him too.

 

[Zinzan]

So was Cook actually dropped or injured?

 

[The Hutt Rec]

What would the odds have been Henry and de Grandhomme opening the attack for us in a test match a few months ago ...

 

[Zinzan]

Opening the bowling with CdG and Matt Horne (according to Rutherford). Dire times indeed.

It's not the first time Rudd's has got his wires crossed with names from the nineties. He called Tom Latham Rod 2-3 times last year.

 

[SeamUp]

Oh wow
