    Debuts & Retirements draft

    ...Like I mentioned earlier, this team will be spending a lot of time on the field. Declaration bowling will be common. Will have earned our namesake. The bowling still has some class - Cotter was known for his extreme pace, Barnes was a match winning seamer, Trumble was an offie who could...

    Might be what's required. Taking the example of his namesake and all.

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2015/16

    His high school coach said he was better than Ryder and KW at the same age, which is obviously ott, but it does give a sense of how much he's stood out over the years.

    So how much ability does Leopard have really? Know he's built like his namesake but that knock just seems to ooze of talent among the rubble.

    ...Mondays 1. Bill Ponsford 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Mushtaq Ali 7. 8. Bill Barnes 9. Hugh Trumble 10. Claude Carter 11. Tibby Cotter Ooof, look at that bowling attack. Judging by the teams we'll be facing, we will be spending a lot of time in the field. Lovely. Will have rightly earned our namesake.

    Jonah Lomu, 1975-2015

    Absolute wrecking ball on the field, the likes of which will never be seen again I don't think. Also the namesake of the best rugby game of all time. RIP big marn. Legend.

    Welcome to Cricket Web - Cricket Chat

    ...much nothing about cricket, but my lovely boyfriend informed me that vicente from spain is the best cricketer ever, even better than my namesake in the AU womens cricket team (ok so I apparently know 1 thing about cricket: Someone named Ellyse plays cricket and is pree legit*) and therefore I...

    Modern New Zealand XI (dayboo post 1980) last poll: Sneak me in the back door

    That's more like it Flem with Rigor & your namesake up top. Cairns fairly obviously for the last spot. Watling, Astle & Nash all a little unlucky for mine.

    Don't think KL Rahul has any similar characteristic compared to Dravid

    *Official* India in Bangladesh 2015

    Vinay Kumar is a namesake but no similar characteristic.

    ***Official*** Indian Domestic Season 2014/15

    ...part about KL Rahul's shots is that he doesn't slog them. Is a batsman in the classical style. The loops of his strokes are smaller like his namesake as compared to a Tendulkar. Doesn't stop him from making runs fast as despite his attention to 'correctness', he is always looking to make runs...

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2014/15

    ...real bowler and just bowls bouncers and full deliveries as fast as he can. if i had to name a kiwi bowler i wanted to copy MJ it would be either his namesake Mitch M or Gillespie. in fact Gillespie in full flight is just getting the ball to rear up and follow the batsman from a length at...

    Fiery Syd

    Not a bad article on one of cricket's most interesting characters. As usual, Steen weighs in as to what Barnes actually bowled - fast-medium which makes him a viable opening or first-change bowler in an ATG team, or medium-paced spinner, which puts him more in the Bill O'Reilly category, and...

    "Best ever" teams selected by former players or experts- whose is best?

    Barry Richards was certainly the best batsman I have seen - I've written a feature about him which will appear in the not too distant future

    "Best ever" teams selected by former players or experts- whose is best?

    ...him above Gavaskar and Greenidge (as do many who played with/against them at Hamshire) and on par with IVA and Sobers. Barry was with his namesake and Chappell the best batsmen by some fair distance in WSC and he dominated first class cricket the world over. If Wasim can gain selection based...
