Ah yes, most definitely. What Australia, New Zealand and the West Indies would give to have a quality spinner. What India, Sri Lanka and England would give to have an international standard all rounder. He'd walk into most teams afaic.

He looks to be a very exciting prospect does young Ben Stokes, I just hope his bowling can continue to develop whilst he's batting in the top four for Durham.

Harsha Bhogle praising Dhoni for finding another star in Southee at the conclusion of the match was rather cringeworthy. He made it sound as though Southee was some young kid plucked from obscurity by Dhoni forgetting that he's been playing international cricket for three years now and less then...

Day 1 - Favourite Match 3rd ODI: New Zealand v Australia at Hamilton, Feb 20, 2007 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo Easily the best game I've ever attended. There isn't a chance in hell I'll ever forget that match. From Matty Hayden's 181 to New Zealand being 4/40 chasing 346 to win...

Prime (FTA station) will televise the odd one dayer during the summer and up until last year iirc would always show at least one test aswell. Other then that though you're correct, it's just highlight packages that are shown pretty late at night.

Are there any Gloucestershire fans on PC? I ask because James Fuller, a young fast bowler from Otago was signed by Gloucestershire on a three year contract at the end of last year - he's classed as a local player thanks to his father being born in England. He's a very promising young bowler...

Whoever inherits this Wellington team will certainly have there work cut out for them that's for sure. They've been a poor team in every single competition during the last couple of years, they're not producing internationals at anywhere near the same rate as other provinces are and there...

:eek: Five wickets in one over for Neil Wagner. Wellington were 136-4 one over before lunch before Wanger absolutely ripped through the batting lineup. The over went W,W,W,W,.,W with four of the five wickets being bowled. Crazy.

Yeah, it was definitely one of the best one day knocks I've ever seen. Such a shame he had to play it against New Zealand :p

Does Shaun Tait actually have a history of "bad" bowling injuries?

Yeah, the development of Tim Southee as a bowler over the last few months has been outstanding. Allan Donald will get a lot of the credit most likely, and rightfully so might I add but Southee's improvement really began imo during the Indian test series in November, he was outstanding in the...

Have you been living under a rock for the past 18 months? New Zealand's one day batting has been bad for close to three years now but the last year or so it has been atrocious. The only batsmen in this current line up that has a good record in the SC is Ross Taylor, everyone else averages in the...

Wow, what a howler. McCullum clearly got his fingers under that one. Farce.

There will be a massive amount of pressure on Tim Southee to perform tonight with New Zealand most likely only going into this match with two front line bowlers in himself and Hamish Bennett. Southee's been fantastic for New Zealand during this world cup, their best bowler by a long way. But...

Nah, cricinfo. Whatever Copeland's doing must be working, you don't pick up 75 wickets @ 20 by accident in the Sheffield Shield. I can understand why some people would be a little hesitant about his test aspirations however.

Copeland low 120's? Jeez is that right, he isn't very quick is he. He must have some impressive control, really can't wait to see him in action.

County news: Kane Williamson joins Gloucestershire | England Cricket News | ESPN Cricinfo Gloucestershire, my new favourite county team :p

How do you justify any players selection after a poor performance?

Yeah, Tim Southee will definitely be in the playing XI. Given he's the only New Zealand quick bowler who can reverse swing the ball he's probably their most potent bowler at the moment.
