Haha, Manu can't spell. One hell of a cricketer though

Better be ready to click the Second Grade tab then.
Fun fact about the poor fella that Styris battered all over the place this morning for 38 in an over: he's a Kiwi, too. James Fuller, played club cricket for North Shore, then NZ U-19s before Bracewell took him over to Gloucester. Judging on his FC numbers, that hasn't worked out too well just yet...

He's actually done reasonably well in the limited overs stuff I think. Not outstanding but not horrible either. He's in the second year of a three year contract (I think) so will be interesting to see if he comes back here after that.
I wouldn't be surprised if he plays a few games for Otago this Summer, he was heavily involved in the set-up over the Summer, but I'm pretty sure he was injured for most of the Summer. With our lack of quick bowlers and his connection with the province, I'm sure he'll be a feature.

Could be a flash issue. Suggest Chrome (with flash built-in) or getting the latest flash here.
Also very easy for me (using the match filter function) to put up any video anyone wants on Youtube. One particular innings, a few minutes facing certain bowlers, all FC 2011/12 dismissals, etc.
They can be unlisted too so the channel doesn't risk copping its first red lightsaber for vending dodgy meats under false pretences (in a Quik-E-Mart kind of way), but hell, worth remembering Jeets has made the grade.

I was using chrome already? But will investigate your link...
Can you do me a favour - can you make a youtube clip or a mpeg or something of a couple of classic Jamie How forward defensive strokes? I wish to make a positive post about them and want to have some evidence...

About how technically correct he is and how absolutely baffling it is that he never cracked it at the top level?

Kippax a thousand thank yous. Can't believe how many times How got out to left handers.

Yeah he's not the greatest player going around. The one he left and it took out his off stump was vicious. With the left armers angle you should be able to leave those.
When I play I leave anything that pitches on off stump from left arm over unless he has shown he can bring them back a long way.
It was a very vicious ball.
But he decided not to play it so late and tried to cover it, but his feet didn't get far enough across. Should have at least got pad to it and put some doubt in the umpire's mind, IMO. If I'm leaving a right armer angling across dramatically (being a left hander screws things up a bit), I make sure to completely cover off stump. There's a better chance of getting away with an LBW because of the angle.
The LBW at 0:28 looked to pitch outside leg, in fairness.

You're licking your lips if you're a left-arm seamer next summer...
One other thought - if you're an umpire, and people aren't appealing with any sort of conviction...don't give it (as per the one v Otago, think it's Wells bowling and Phil Jones the umpire). Especially when you take ages. It looks awful.

I think you and I are going to become very good friends, if we aren't already.
Can I have Colin de Grandhomme dismissals, across all formats? If too hard, just FC will be fine. I need a laugh

631 runs at 70 in the Shield, remember. He's knocking on the door.
