Yeah I think that's why Jimmy stopped posting. He'd made about 700 posts here before he even debuted domestically, and he kept posting for a little while afterwards but less frequently, and eventually he stopped. He never said why but I think his increased profile would be a fair guess. I wonder if he still has a read here from time to time.

A couple of posts that he made on SM about how he hates people having a crack at his team mates for being lazy when they have no idea what they're talking about leads me to suspect he may have read a Blocky post or two at some stage.

Yeah but his record in English conditions in 2018 will definitely give him a leg above the rest imo.

That was with the Duke though. His numbers in the English list A competition (which used the white kookaburra) were mediocre.

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.

I'm still reeling from reading Hogan's hot takes on Arjuna Ranatunga during a particularly tumultuous time on CW back in the summer of '92. I mean, admittedly, it took me ****ing ages to load the page on the rudimentary dial-up connection on the only computer in the South Island that had an internet connection . . .

It'll be interesting to see what changes, if any, NZ makes for today's ODI. I'm not at all sold on Munro as an opener (don't rate his fielding much, either) and wouldn't mind Seifert getting a crack there, but don't see it happening. Quite keen to see Bracewell get a game, as well.

Reading a Blocky post was enough to push anyone over the edge.

You lot selected Kuggelejin?

Have no right to call any Australian players dicks now when you select a man who by all rights belongs behind bars

it was a not guilty verdict.

i mean, by the looks of it he was not guilty by the skin of his teeth, and it wasn't a "he's innocent" but since he was deemed "not guilty" then by both our ethics as a country and my own ethics he is as free to play professional cricket and be considered for cricketing spots on merit only as the rest of us are.

i wouldn't shed a tear if he got flayed around the park by dickwella but he's still allowed a job.

What a load of ****ing crap. Nobody here knows the full story but if the jury can find someone not guilty in about two minutes chances the guy might just be innocent or ya know, not some type of animal you idiots are making him out to be.

Even in the sequence of events put forward by his own lawyer Kuggelejin still comes across as seriously slimy and dickish

i think his lawyer started banging on about what she was wearing at some point. something like that anyway, because when i read it i thought if that was his best defence then kuggs is done.
