He started to score runs? Just checked the scorecard last I looked he was about 10 off 100. Great innings third of the season.Good effort this from Bracewell, got his ton, now been 15 overs for the 9th wicket stand.
12 overs to go.
The komodo dragon has a secret squirrel he's preparing for the T20 WC, as you can see here.Suggestions for the ball of Nathan McCullum's career are welcome ftr.
From that angle it almost looks like an arm ball - is it?The komodo dragon has a secret squirrel he's preparing for the T20 WC, as you can see here.
Looks like he's landing it with more regularity and menace than Sodhi does.no it's just a straight up leg spinner.
Is there a video of this?Anyway on a lighter note - and Howsie will enjoy this immensely - look at Santner's dismissal in ND's second innings. After being ripped out by a Grunt 115km thunderbolt in the first innings, he came in to a Bon Jovi tribute band from Wellington's fielders:
'Oh oh he's halfway there, oh oh, Santner's on a pair!'
And lead singer Jon Bon McKay got to get the hip thrust and chorus out as Mitch chipped out to make it a double blob. Amazing stuff. What a player
He's 22 with a first class tonne in his last match, and he wasn't the only ND player who absolutely sucked in the game - considering Elliott took five. Like I said, he'll be a better prospect for ND than Sodhi will in less than two years. Sodhi has the benefit of being in the Black Caps setup with apparently the best coaches the country has to offer and an abundance of net bowlers and net bowling in good practice facilities to get the **** right.Cmon champ.

NcCullum's best hope in test cricket would be developing his batting to the point of a guy that could comfortably bat six but like you, I think he's too long in the tooth now which is a shame, because he'd probably have done a better job than the guys we've tried since Vettori.He has developed a carom ball too. It's not particularly good.
I generally agree with conventional spin wisdom in that your stock delivery should be used and worked on 99% of the time and if you don't have a good stock delivery you won't make it as a test bowler, but NcCullum is never going to develop a ripping off break at his age and I like the fact that he's prepared to try things.
There's a video of the dismissal, on the NZC scorecard.Is there a video of this?
Cmon champ.
