Cricket | Mitchell McClenaghan Black Caps' Secret... | Stuff.co.nz

Just over a decade on and the wait continues for a New Zealander who can unleash the white ball with venom and genuinely frighten. Cue the arrival of Mitchell McClenaghan who clambered off the plane in London on Wednesday and finally sank his giant boots into English turf. And there to meet him was Bond, now the bowling coach tasked with identifying and nurturing the next, well, Bond.

Gee, what's going on here? Mindless batting.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Wheels off the wagon time, methinks.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Absolutely ****ing abysmal.

 

[Burgey]

Who was that big, tall soap dodger **** who played in the big bash and slogged it miles in Sydney? He should be in the England side ffs. At least he ease entertaining.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

All set for Ravi Bopara to play in game two.

 

[theegyptian]

Woakes hasn't scored runs for a while and has been getting bowled fairly regular this seaason.

Alex Hales?

 

[Flem274*]

ahaha even when he's bowing ****ing slow he's still hurrying people up*

*Morgan may have come charging down the pitch to him

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nice work, Cevno.

To be fair halfway between world cups is always the same, every nation is looking for the right team for that competition and a few new players come in.

 

[Burgey]

Alex Hales?

Yeah that's him. How do these blokes get a hit ahead of him? Fmd he larrups it, these blokes just nick, nudge and pop up half trackers to fielders.

This is true. Tbf I'd forgotten the CT was on until yesterday.

If anyone can come up with a valid reason it still exists, please post it up.

it gives the commentators something to do

Valid reason ffs.

Could see its worth years ago but nowadays just seems nothing but a tv revenue generator*







*maybe a valid reason.

 

[ajdude]

In the end, no one will remember the CT, whereas Thatcher could remember no one.

There a certain symmetry to that.

 

[Burgey]

Seriously, where the **** is Hales? I mean, come on.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

ahaha how the **** is Nmac an international cricketer

 

[Burgey]

Interesting option to bowl tbf on a free hit

 

[Flem274*]
