What is it with newbie bowlers outshining their experienced counterparts lately? First Praveen, then Bracewell, then Yadav (of the seamers) and now Cummins.

[Spark]

Too many singles!

Johnson ruins it with his final ball. He's the bastard child of Chris Martin and James Franklin.

Cos the rest of them are ****?

Siddle is the non-thinking man's Merv Hughes.

Pretty much.

Chris Martin and Jeetan Patel vs Ponting at Brisbane; you know it's going to happen.

I'd put my money on all three failing ftr. Patel bowls a short and wide straight break which Ponting cuts to Martin (who is inexplicably at point) and drops it, before Martin gets him on the cut next over with a ball seven metres outside off, which goes straight to Patel at point and the specialist fielder takes it.

In Praveen's case it's because he's better than any of them.

Seaming stocks all time low, etc.

Philander's brilliant debut notwithstanding, it's harder to do if the incumbents have anything about them.

The good thing is though that the newbies have all looked the business, rather than just the best of a sorry lot.

How about a third man eh? How many runs have gone through there?

 

[Flem274*]

Cummins needs to come play some kiwi domestics so he can play against Otago greats like Cumming and Wagner.

Lol. Read that just as ABdeV opens the face to (hey) the vacant etc.

S'not rocket surgery, is it?

 

[Burgey]

AB de Villiers has such a punchable face.

Downhill skier of a player too.

Haha, downhill skier isn't one I've heard before.

 

[Flem274*]

Mitch really had gone downhill. Definitely good odds of him being the new Harmison.

 

[Spikey]

"he hasn't got the returns he'd want from siddle and johnson"

 

[Ruckus]

Missing Harris and Watson badly...

The context means I suspect Burgey's usage is different to the understanding I have of the term. Link.

Although...
