Wow, that's a bold opinion. Isn't picked in FC cricket, and has been average in limited overs stuff. I'd have Santner Patel Sodhi Ashok Lennox Delport Rippon ahead of him.
Nah he's absolutely spot on. Pringle is a gun. Santner and Ajaz are definitely still better than him right now but his fundamentals are basically perfect; he's gonna improve massively with a bit more experience IMO. I'm a massive fan.

He does have a bit of a point - Mathew Sinclair, James Franklin, Andre Adams, Michael Papps, Doug Bracewell, Bevan Small, Greg Hay.
Adams wasn't mediocre.

But this has reminded me of the Papps Wheelbarrow. That'll give me a smile for the next 5 minutes or so.

Pews and I both backed Tim Weston as well.

In a way, we weren't wrong. He gave the game away early and combined results with looking the part. Should have stuck around imo.

If he wants to spend time with his family then quit the T20 leagues and just play the home summers.

Saying he wanted to spend time with his family and then jet setting around the world chasing coin didn’t sit well with me.
He wants to spend time with his family and maximise his earning potential while he can lol. He's mid 30s and served nz cricket for 10+ years, let him cash in while his body is still fit enough to do so.

I find it easy to spot who is over rated but spotting a diamond in the rough takes skill I don't have. My current list of people I back are all captain obvious. People like Rachin, Ashok, etc.
I did think Nathan Smith would end up being a top order batter but that never panned out and I was in love with Sheat but I believe injuries cursed him.

Conway will come good.

They have discovered right arm around is his kryptonite. Needs to make some adjustments,
