    *Official* 2024 South Africa tour of New Zealand: 2 tests

    Kane Willimson 4 innings in this test series and tonned up 3 times. I am struggling to believe what I am seeing.

    *Official* 2024 South Africa tour of New Zealand: 2 tests

    I thought of that while making my post and I should have added a sentence that I think Rachin only made 240 because he had Kane to talk to him at the other end. What an experience that must have been for Rachin having 4-6 hours of on the job learning with someone who he said in the presser at...

    My review on the series is that without Kane we lose that series 2-0 to South Africa. He was the difference between the sides. NZ starting to remind me of the late Martin Crowe era where Martin would ton up and everyone else just give him stand with scores like 17 and 22. Don't diss Latham...

    It must be hard thinking of good interview questions and I couldn't do it. That said I thought Richardson's post match interview questions were a bit flat. "So young Will O'Rourke, it must be really hard with all the mechanics of your action to get the ball actually coming out consistently, you...

    Sears and O'Rourke have similar actions. In my humble view. O'Rourke also looks like he bowls the heaviest ball I have seen in quite some time. On a couple of occassions I thought Bedinghams bat had broken playing a forward defence stroke. Final comment, how thrilling was it to hear one of the...

    *Official* 2024 South Africa tour of New Zealand: 2 tests

    I used to bowl part time off spin. I was very good in lower grades as I could put it on a dime every delivery for an entire spell. I once took 7 wickets in a Gillette cup match. When I bowled in the premier division I was destroyed consistently. All my good nuts went for prolific sixes. The top...

    The Thommo method of Bowling

    Watch him on video and try to copy every part of his action including his front arm load up. My friend when he was 8 years old was the worst bowler at school. Then he watched an ODI and picked an Australian Quick and spent all night copying his action and turned up the next day and was close to...

    *Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

    After his nine wickets O'Rourke must play against Australia. And he must bowl like the wind. My team at this stage which I will revise after the conclusion of this current test 1 Conway 2 Latham 3 God 4 Young Disciple to God 5 Mitchell 6 Blundell 7 ??????????????????????? 8 KJ 9 Henry 10...

    Surely O'Rourke has done enough to book himself into the test series against Aussie. An attack with him and Jamieson in it could be half way useful. He reminds me of an old fashioned nasty fasty. Likes to hit people on the body. Looked really pleased with himself when he hit Von Berg in the...

    Also on one of the previous deliveries he offered a bat pad opportunity but there was no fielder there. I felt that influenced him to try to play the fateful delivery only with his bat rather than his bat and pad together. Probably Latham was thinking to himself "I would have gone back foot to...

    At least Conway lasted long enough that no one else had to bat tonight. Had we sent a night watchman in that would have mucked up our run chase plans tomorrow.

    Conway continuing to have a problem with Right arm round the wicket. Apart from Piedt, Moreki was hard out targeting his front pad from round the wicket and Conway did not look convincing as he played around his front pad to keep the probing deliveries out.

    You should change your username from King Kane to King Jinx.

    One of Kane, Latham or Rachin or Young needed to go on with their start to get a ton. Not the bowlers fault. Also @HeathDavisSpeed Kudos for the Luke Vivian shout out a few pages back.

    *Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

    Danny Morrison lbw call not given out against McDermott to win a famous test. Danny collapsed in the middle of the pitch afterwards stunned that it was not given. This was in the days before neutral umpires. Playing against Australia in Australia was brutal and comical at times before the days...

    View me as the desperate old man I am. We have no hope of winning on the field so I have resorted to claiming the moral high ground as that is all that is left for us to win at. LOL. All is good. New Zealand FWIW has done two things I am not proud of while I have been a fan. Kyle Mills stood...

    All good eho (Eho is the Te Reo work for Friend) I appreciate you giving it back to me. Good stuff. That's the whole goal to have a bit of a stir in the thread. Every previous trans tasman test series we had a great time with the Aussies giving stick to each other back and forth. Australia is...

    *Official* Australia tour of New Zealand Feb-Mar 2024

    I also Daemon find it intriguing he used a 9/10 girl rather than a 10/10 girl in his example. He must have decided it was unrealistic any of us would ever get a date with a 10/10 so he decided after careful calculation he would make it sound more conceivable by listing that she was 9/10.
