TBF he did deserve to be dropped. Not in a "you're a total spud" way, but in a "find some form" way.you don't get to duck out of this one. even if you did say that you were as fast as the rest of this lot to call for his dropping.
I thought Sodhi was better than his usual self. Generally he ends up bowling lots of four balls but yesterday he got his toppies and wrong ones working well. He extracted considerable bounce out of the pitch I thought.
I saw one of Neesham's clocked at 143, fastest I've ever seen from him ever. Great signs.
I was quite surprised to hear Coney implying that one reason for Neesham getting dropped from the Black Caps was his inability to get along with his teammates. Something along the lines of him being "difficult to be around". First I'd heard that he could be a bit of a dickhead. Anyone able to shed any light on this, or was Coney way off the mark?
I think I've seen someone say he was on this forum before but fell out with people and left loool
Nooooo, finally we have a no. 5 in Latham who’s proved as effective as Taylor and almost as effective as KW at rotating strike in the middle overs, is superb against spin, even high quality spin and hits to areas few others can hit to (I refer to his sweeping behind square). Seems counterproductive to change that yet again.
As with my above post, why would we be messing with Latham at 5 and keeper when he’s been a revelation there in the last 18 months?
100% agree. Could Nicholls be an option as an opener instead of Munro? He opens for Canterbury sometimes right?
Fair enough.
Coney is not wrong, I've heard this from lots within NZ. You could do your research but it's a fact Auckland or CD didn't want him anywhere near their domestic sides. Firebirds lapped him up otherwise chances are he could have been without a side to play this summer.
Nah this isn't what happened, I think hes mixing it up with Martin Crowe. Crowe was the one who fell out with members and left. Neesham occassionally argued with some forumers but he left when his career started to become more serious and when it became probably a bit less of a good idea for him to post his thoughts about all things NZ cricket on a cricket forum.
Are all his posts still up? What's his username? Also are Mitch McClenaghan's post still up? Would love to have a read. Haha.
That's pretty cool, perhaps this forums is what set him up as a cricketing web wizard. It had to have a beginning somewhere. Still surprises me the likes of Martin Crowe and Jimmy Neesham were on public forms airing their views... Particularly when they are doing this for earning. You have to have quite thick skin to get on forums if you are a playing professional... In my opinion, definitely not a good idea.
