Sorry...didn't know that.Voltman said:McCullum? Maybe I'm biased because I've played with the guy back in his Dunedin days, but he is one of our best floating batsman. His glovework is still a little untidy, but he is by no means the worst keeper at the tournament.
Doesn't look as active as Nevin? Not sure how much international cricket you have seen Nevin play, but he is positively awful behind the stumps. McCullum is obviously not in the class of Parore, but I predict he will tidy it up and be our glovesman for the next ten years.Arjun said:Sorry...didn't know that.
I have seen him mess up a few chances, and just drop the ball when not in play. Doesn't look as active as Parore or Nevin. That drop of Dravid was a big mistake in the World Cup. You cannot get away by dropping world class players like him. Or missing a stumping of Gilchrist- that's one of Sangakkara's biggest bloopers. Or getting the wicket of Sachin on a no-ball- he'll strike back hard.
His golvework is nothing flash. He's much better value in the field.Arjun said:How is Lou Vincent's glovework? Sometimes, he does the job of wicketkeeper. He's also one of the better batsmen in the side, although one who rarely gets a big score.

Best bet: Astle, Cairns, Vettori
Dark horse: Oram, Styris, Butler
Weak link: McCullum (don't drop this one!), McMillan and especially Mills

vincents batting is **** house. hed struggle to get into the kenyan batting lineup
Cairns is best bet and McMillan is weak link? I think McMillan's been doing much better than Cairns recently, hasn't he?Arjun said:NEW ZEALAND:

Wait, which Shoaib?Arjun said:PAKISTAN:
Best bets: Inzamam, Shoaib, Sami, Youhana, Razzaq
Dark horse: Younis Khan
Weak link: Inzamam (between wickets), the inexperienced batsmen
McMillan averages 26- sign of a very inconsistent player. You may never know how long he will last in a match. Cairns, on the other hand, not only has a better average, but can play a longer innings.Cairns is best bet and McMillan is weak link? I think McMillan's been doing much better than Cairns recently, hasn't he?
BEST BET: Shoaib AkhtarWait, which Shoaib?
