Warwickshire get Bond replacement

But do they bowl consistently at 95 and thereabout?

Would being able to bowl 95+mph be useful in Shropshire or would it just mean you fly off the bat quicker to the fence?

He Should do really Well because he swings the ball exeptionaly and England conditions suite his style alot more than Australian Conditions.

Do they need to? :P

Most of the time he was unplayable...but in the sense that most batsmen just left the ball and the keeper usually let it through for 4 byes

And Noffke is a rightie............

My mistake

How many times did you see Tino play anyway? If you had seen him in the Carib Cup this season, you would think differently. I'm not hailing him as a Balaji or anything, but he is very good young bowler.

6 times in total. His pace ment that he shot off the bat faster and also the keeper was unused to trying to stop 90+ mph deliveries and let them through for 4 byes. I saw quite a few edged 6s too!

So, in summation, what's your opinion on Best and fast (genuinely) bowlers in general?

He looked talented...just Shropshire isn't the best place for really quick young bowlers

Jimmy Adams was over here for a few years playing for Wroxeter

Fast bowlers? Well when they get it right it's spectacular as shown with Shoaib but also shown by Shoaib and Lee...when they get it wrong a good edge can go very quickly to the boundary. Speed may be thrilling to watch but swing is the most effective especially with good pace like Wasim and Waqar. Fast bowlers in general then? I hate them, they hurt.

Interesting theory.

Scott Brant from Queensland looks very good too.

Rik u'd b happy to know that Brant is actually a Zimbabwean . he's quite fast and looks very good. but if he were to do well and get a chance ti represent a country he said he would play for Australia.

Brant is a Zimbabwean by birth but he is like Symonds he has opted to play for Australia.

i know m8. i am a QLDer after all

I know he's Zimbabwean and I'm cheesed off that someone who could have been a valuable support to Streak has decided to sod off and play in Australia. It's rather interisting as I don't think he'll get a chance in the Aussie team and might end up doing a "Goodwin"

Give the guy a chance. I mean considering the political situation in Zim coupled with the prospects of a long cricket career (who knows, maybe the world will do to Zim what they did to South Africa for 22 years) would YOU stay? I sure as hell wouldn't.
