two pages in and out of nowhereMaybe i'm seeing things...but doesn't Roach have a better average and also outperformed Southee when both of them were on the same tracks earlier this year?
Yeah, this thread is pretty funny now.
So, for example, you would rather NZ lose a test match so long as your point is proven about certain players?Mediocre ones who shouldn't be selected, yet have people constantly defend them as class, yup. I do.
Possibly the 4th.Not even the second best quick bowler in his team right now.

This is so weird.Because he was never that good to begin with, someone who has almost a decade in international cricket, who can only point to 18 months of consistent cricket that entire time doesn't deserve to be spoken of as "awesome".
You're the one who bumped a two year old thread to laugh at people...Let's make it logical for you.
ITT: People rated Southee as the second best new ball bowler behind Steyn, in a period of time where his statistics didn't show it.
Consequently, people have made: "Oh, Southee and Boult are the best new ball pairing" until possibly the recent Australian tour.
Thus: Pointing out how much hype a reasonably **** player got is no different to any other critique in this forum.
Having this thread appear in a "Southee vs Anderson" thread where people are arguing the merits of Southee and bringing it back up to show how over-hyped he got, that's comedy.
Why people get so emotional over players being critiqued, when they're more than happy to throw praise on them is beyond me. Get over yourself.
Over the last few months I've gone from being annoyed at Blocky to now actually being somewhat concerned for him. I feel like he's carrying a lot of anger. Reading his posts makes me uncomfortable.i'm actually alarmed that anybody ever looks at similar threads
