Shane Bond - how good?

Btw the answer is- "not good enough to continue for more than 18 matches".
Yes. NZ got much more out of Chris Martin than Shane Bond, and would have in almost every era (the exception maybe the very last one?)

Yes in some fantasy ATG time travelling scenario we may acknowledge that Shane Bond would be a better selection in the 1/30 chance he was actually available, but as a long term captain or selector of a normal side I'd definitely take Martin.

And I know this thread isn't even about Martin, but seriously though just **** unfit quicks pretending they were better than quicks who successfully changed actions, cut pace or whatever else to actually be useful to their Test teams for an extended period.
