    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2008/09

    His problem is that too often he bowls on the pads/down leg, too wide or overpitches and it's very hard to build pressure when you give up so many freebies which imo is why he's struggled so much in the one-day game . I still reckon he could be an ODI bowler if he fixes his accuracy issues and...

    Does Rohit Sharma Deserve his place in the indian 20/20 side?

    Uthappa isn't much of a T20 player IMO, someone like Dhawan seems like a much more attractive option in both T20 and 50 over cricket

    Whats the correct bowling technique for medium pace?

    I'm 6'4" and 95 kgs and always believed I could make it as a fast bowler but I just cannot control it at all going all out so these days I am very happily resigned to being nothing but a medium-pacer - knowing that so long as I can maintain accuracy then I can maintain control over batsmen

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2008/09

    Dagg was 15 so Te Ahu would have been a couple of years older, but yeah as you said above there were rarely ever any speed guns around so it's nothing but guesswork trying to put numbers to bowling speeds

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2008/09

    Haha yeah that's probaly right. I just remember when Dagg came up from Lindisfarne with his First XI for a match which Te Ahu was playing in the opposition and even Te Ahu's team-mates said the 15 year-old Dagg was quicker than him

    Cricket Rushmores

    Hobbs still for me because he was the first person imo to epitomize what being a cricketer is all about, not to mention holding an unbreakable first-class centuries record thanks mainly to playing well into his 40s

    Whats the correct bowling technique for medium pace?

    I've been a medium pacer for a while. Key things that help me bowl well are(though everyone is different) , *Stand tall as you run-in and deliver the ball *Keep your non-bowling arm "active" as you deliver the ball - by that i mean have it come up and point towards the batsman as you deliver...

    Allen Stanford Arrested and Charged with Fraud

    In some official US report it basically implied that he was involved with some sort of Ponzi scheme - and the returns he offered in the particular scheme(s) were labelled by an expert as "improbable and impossible". More here

    New cricket helmet

    The only real improvement you could make I reckon would be using an alternative to the grill - though i'm not sure what. Maybe a rock solid transparent facemask sort of thing haha, 100% vision, 100% protection and 100% comfort would make the perfect helmet.
