Funny how your memory plays tricks on you. It was Twose's debut, but Tendulkar got the 50. Can't believe it was over 10 years ago!sirjeremy11 said:

You're serious? He played some quality shots, but he also played a lot of chancy shots that he definitely wasn't in total control of. A pleasant innings from the great man, but nowhere near his best.honestbharani said:That 83 has to rank among the top 50s I have watched recently. I remember one particular stroke from Lara. Fleming had BOnd bowling with two gullys, a third man who was sorta square because of the two slips and a deep point who was sorta fine because of the length Bond was bowling. And yet Lara stroked the ball to the boundary. He was threading the finest of needles there. Damn Astle. He stole a Lara special away. It would have been a perfect Sunday treat.
He looked to have altered his technique drastically for that innings. The old dogs and new tricks thing was proven myth.

Ususally it isn't actually to bad this time of year (refer to SL tests played at the start of April 2005). Has been bad for the last week though. Beautiful day here in Auckland today though!Autobahn said:

Saying that - Oram took 6/45 vs Northern Districts this morning.Autobahn said:Now that's kiwi thinking
There's a big need for specialists in the team and not another average batsmen that bowls military medium.
Now, can he open?

Think he means Astle, Styris, Oram... Average batsmen? They are all pretty good IMO.mundaneyogi said:
Maybe Rod Latham?

That's what I thought he meant. If he did, I certainly don't agree with his assessment of them as average.sirjeremy11 said:
