ND 143/5 chasing 170 to win vs otago, mcglashan 30* - he has been a real find for ND this season, i haven't seen much of his glovework but he has made some rapid and important contributions in the one-dayers this season, i remember he had a promising career a few years ago with CD but never really got going and he was also the NZ Maori cricket team captain when they had a team in 2000 i think it was

yeah i read that too - looked rather childish to me but crowes not one to sit back and cop the criticism.Tim said:
crowe said that new zealander's are too busy complaining about the wickets instead of getting foward and using soft hands, here's the first bit of the article,
Play straight lads, it's not the wickets that are crap
"Get any runs today, darling?"
"Na, crap wicket!"
"Oh well next time dear. Where are you playing next?"
"On another crap wicket."
Poor things, these NZ first-class batsman. Really they have no chance do they?!
I reckon they're better off playing softball where the ball doesn't bounce.
Or, they could get off their butts and earn a living. They are extremely well paid and are provided with everything they need, but when it comes to getting foward and playing straight with soft hands and light bats, they ain't, I'm afraid, earning their keep.
Why? Because they are now so spooked by the pitches they play on, they can't cope.

A few more memories from the game.
WTF is Andrew Hore doing playing for Otago again.
Nathan McCullum hurt he knee quite bad diving for a Peter Mcglashen catch, could be out for a while.
Jeff Willson looked really really disinterested.
The crowd at the Varsity oval was the biggest i have seen at a domestic cricket game in dunedin.
Aaron Redmond as 12th man got a very hard time from a club team mate, which was bllody funny.

He played like one today too.
He was in for Redmond, my mate and i cracked up laughing when we heard he was walking out to bat. I would of rather a younger player get played than Hore, We have some talented youngsters around we can't let them go to waste.
The ground is nice, but the seats are very very uncomfterble. you just can't lean back for any leangth of time without back pain.
Loast of all brad Scoot has improved as a batman out of sight, he can hit the ball a long way.

He was playing some very nice late cuts today. Then when he wanted to get going he simply flciked a couple of sixes of his legs.
Back on Andrew Hore for a second, i didn't realise he was as old as he is. HE IS 35. What is the point of brining back a jeriatris slogger? When we have technically sound young players?

Nah, he was batting at 5, Which made it all that stranger. Sean is a 4 or 5, so i thought that would be a good time to blood him. Unlike Hore he can actually move his feet and has some talent.
I would also like to see Kieran Noema-Barnett given a game, some time this year. He has got alot of natural talent.

I mean I have no problems in supporting the team & players as representatives of my country etc - but I don't have to support the 'powers that be' if I don't agree with their selections, philosophy / approach etc........by the same token they are quite at liberty to take no notice of me or anyone else for that matter........

I seem to remember that cricket was on nearly every Sunday during the summer, and midweek games as well..........and I'm talking championship rounds not shield ODs..........

Jeff Wilson....I read that name earlier....but I couldn't remember it.
Canning is a 'keeper-stand-up medium-pacer. How useful will he be?
Andre Adams has been useful with bat and ball, but not too consistent. Even Kyle Mills has a very healthy batting average, and he has batted in the middle order, so his position in the batting order is a little too low.
