Leading test wickets takers 2003

[Tom Halsey]

Ntini is a class bowler.

Actually, Katich is a decent part timer.

A decent part-timer, yes, but most of his Test-wickets have come with mis-placed, arial cross-batted strokes (be it slogged-sweeps, pulls or hoicks).
Not someone who should be averaging under 35 in Test-cricket, let alone under 30.
He's not as good as even MacGill or Hogg.

 

[Richard]

Ntini is a class bowler.

I agree.
Especially in ODIs.

 

[Thelwell]

See how he bowls in the ODI with the windies.

I now expect a lot off him after what you have all said about him.

 

[Richard]

I'd expect a lot anyway.
West Indies aren't one of the best ODI teams around but their batting-line-up is strong at least on paper.
10 mintues till we find-out. Hopefully SA will field first.

 

[Neil Pickup]

SA win toss & bat.

0/0 after 5 balls...

 

[Richard]

Collymore gets a load of rubbish batting, despite bowling a reasonable line.
Surprise surprise. Happened enough last summer.
