The Official Gareth Hopkins isn't terrible thread

He looked the part yesterday wearing that wide brim hat up to the stumps, he reminded me of a keeper from the 80s and like Woodster said, the Harbhajan dismissal was top notch keeping.
Good signs to see McCullum fielding well in the outfield and making a start with the bat. This all bodes well for Hopkins.

We will soon find out in the session after lunch how he fares.

Well what is better than him at?I didn't say "at batting."
Hopkins to score more runs than Guptill in this Test.

He's a much better First Class cricketer than Guptill at present if you take the whole package - his batting and keeping. He's actually performed a lot better than Guptill with the bat so far in their respective careers but I think it's easy to see Guptill has more potential with the bat.

Guptil is a better one day player.

Not Terrible
Hopkins is a dire one day player.

Even though I am predicting dire things for Hop"guns" I was very impressed by one shot by him. He was facing Shaun Tait in a 20/20 and Tait bowled him a 150kms bouncer at his noggin and Hopkins smacked it for six not to far away from where we were sitting. I think he made 18 out of NZ's pitiful 120 odd that day.
The other thing he has going for him is that he is a Kiwi - so I will post a congrats message if he gets 50.

Yeah Guptill is a good one day player but I'm not talking about one day cricket. Tim Papps is a good indoor cricketer.

Well you said the whole package. If you are going to play provincial cricket you have to turn up for the List A matches too.

I also said First Class cricket though.

One day cricket is not First Class cricket.

Priceless moment. Will see how he does in the next test. Hopefully he doesn't get another dig in this one or we are in trouble.
Will mean he only has 5 innings to get 100 runs.

Yes has looked very good with the gloves. Held his catches comfortably and without fuss, and not much has got through him on a difficult pitch. Let's hope he continues.
