Someone needs to tell McMillian that there's a difference between bowling well and bowling fast.

Go back in time 15 years to do it as well if possible so he doesn't play spinners like such a knob throughout his career.

Pace has taken the first four wickets. Sri Lanka just took 12 off a NMac over. Sri Lanka historically **** spin up.
Let's give Nicol a bowl!!111!

So on a pitch that has a fair bit in it for the seamers, Nicol comes on to bowl at 80/4. Ellis and Franklin twiddling their thumbs. He'll probably take one now but it seems extremely daft; I would've had Ellis or Franklin on before Nathan McCullum, even.

What the **** I thought he (Nicol) was just been used as an end-changer or something. Please make me eat humble pie, fluke a wicket.

Nah, spinners deserve contempt. They're not really people, see.

It's certainly ugly but I think his arm, although bent, doesn't straighten much. And if he is chucking it he could at least do us the service of chucking it at 140ks

Ha, clearly remember that. Was anti-McMillan at the time - he'd been pretty rubbish for a while iirc but had a privileged place in both the test and ODI sides (despite abysmal ODI record). Was even more anti-McMillan after he batted like this vs Warne.
Edit: Just looked it up and that was McMillan's second to last test.Can't believe that's already 7 years ago
Haha, and here's cricketweb for that series: http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/cricket-chat/11617-official-new-zealand-v-australia-180.html. Good post by Ed:

I've slowly come to that conclusion as well, but jeez it looks awful. Can't believe no-one in an official capacity has mentioned it. I recall Simon Doull once mentioning Ellis' action in a very unsubtle manner during a domestic game.
