I support Tickner but I think his stock has fallen on the JamODI tour and we should have given the contract to the 24 year old fast bowler who has 46 @ 25 in FC and 34 @ 19 in T20.
Heh, just looked up Sears most recent FC game and he took a pair of tidy 2fers from 25 match overs (in an 8 bowler team where spinners got all the overs) and batted 48 balls for 1 run in an attempt to draw the game.
edit - interesting scorecard, santner not used on the frontline with the ball but very influential with the bat at #6 in a low scoring late season game. Walker and Sodhi appeared the preferred spinners.

Yeah this for me too.
I've got nothing against Tickner but if it's him vs Sears then Sears should obviously be getting the contract, particularly given his style of cricket is much rarer so he's more likely to get snapped up by B List leagues. Tickner's not going to be suddenly unavailable.
In what sense? Honest question, I don't know quite what is being referred to

Well not offering him a contract to begin with was obviously a little bit harsh, and he's had a few harsh droppings in his career.
I wouldn't have phrased it like Athlai did at all, but I think it's entirely reasonable that after he didn't think he was getting a contract this year he made other arrangements and shouldn't renege on them.

Hes definitely a different kind of cat but FMD if NZC wasnt NZC he could be our biggest asset (behind maybe Kane/Taylor and the quicks). He's a step away from being a bonafide limited overs superstar, has multiple Test hundreds and is incredibly (new) media savvy.
Maybe it's the wrestling fandom in me but Neesham is the sort of guy that can sell T-Shirts. He's money. He's THE talent and NZC treat him like not being a yes-man drone is a bad thing. Mind boggling. Terrible mindset.

have you met NZC?
To them it is. Like, urgh this is a step away from going Kippax, but NZ sports teams have a bit of a small town mindset to them.

i mean, he posted here. him being dangerously attractive and physically talented just hides the fact he's probs a massive, punishing nerd behind those shark eyes.
just imagine a CWer in a pro cricket dressing room. they'd get punched.

I would actually Stone Cold Stunner Michael Bracewell into his locker and then tell Kane to eat my taint.

As long as you hit White with a metal bedpan I'm happy.
