His stats might indeed be some of the best going around the county circuit but playing associate cricket will help that. His career average with both bat and ball for Essex is nothing special, he's never had a dominating season as such so far in his county career.

Prolific is definitely stretching it, he's no more then an honest trier at the county level. Good signing nonetheless however.

I'll definitely have to give this match a watch, I haven't yet been able to watch Adam Milne bowl but I've only heard good things about him, quite excited really. Same goes with Mitchell McClenaghan who unfortunately missed all last seasons domestic cricket because of a hip injury, had that...

Nowhere. But it's rather silly to do so, especially when that one innings is only 5.3 overs long for the said player. As for what I thought of him, well I didn't think he looked anything special. He's very raw and that was quite evident in his bowling last night. He doesn't use all of his...

Unless your've actually seen him bowl before yesterday's match making judgements on his bowling ability on the back of one innings is rather frivolous.

Perhaps they were, but when he's offered a county contract for 30,000 pounds plus I doubt he'd turn it down for $12-15,000. FORMER New Zealand Under-19 star James Fuller has signed for Gloucestershire on a three-year contract. I wonder if he'll play any FC cricket this summer?

Yeah he was, couldn't even pick up a contract this season. As long as he develops he'll play for England at some point in his career, he's quick and can hit the ball a long way. He's been compared to Chris Cairns in the past.

Rumor going around the traps at the moment is that James Fuller a highly promising bowler from Otago has singed a three year deal with Gloucestershire and will look to play for England in the future. Shame really, rated him as one of the best young bowlers we had. The best prospect from the...

Sums up 20/20 cricket really. Howsie added 3 Minutes and 4 Seconds later... I really couldn't give a rats how Central go tbh but they'll still be worth watching, they've got four young bowlers who can all send it down at over 140K so that should be rather interesting.

AFAIC New Zealand see this tour as nothing but a hindrance towards the HRV cup, as sad as that sounds. They've clearly set it up so it will not get in the way of the blackcaps full participation (or close to it) during the tournament.

It wont clash though. New Zealand cricket have moved the HRV cup forward to December while the Big Bash is still being held in Janurary.

I can't imagine Northern Districts would have too many problems getting players like Pollard and Warner for a few games each, they've got a ton of wealthy sponsers, they always have. Howsie added 4 Minutes and 25 Seconds later... Yeah but your've got to remember that most of the IPL teams...

They beat New Zealand in the world cup plate final during the 2006 under 19 world cup too. It wasn't the strongest team New Zealand have ever sent to a youth world cup but still included players like Martin Guptill and Tim Southee.

Problem is Ingram really shouldn't be in contention to play at the world cup, at a guess he's probably New Zealand's sixth choice. Unless Guptill really is injured it's a strange move.

The Champions League wasn't created to determine who the best 20/20 domestic team is though, thats the problem. It was seen as nothing but another chance to parade the IPL teams around and lay claim to having the best 20/20 tournament in the world (Which funnily enough they couldn't do after...

Brownlie could be Black Caps World Cup bolter | Stuff.co.nz Surely not.

Wow, this really is a ridiculous comment.

Hmmm, Brownlie's not having too bad of a tournament is he. He didn't look like much of a player from the limited action I saw of him last domestic season but he fashioned himself quite the record for Canterbury (albeit on the flattest track going around the domestic scene). He's been around for...

As Martin Crowe said, once you pick him you stick with him. No point dropping him now when things can only get better. Seeing how this games going anyway I think we'll see every available specialist batsmen picked (barring Ingram of course) Picking just five specialist batsmen is boardering...

I think your've been misinformed because that isn't a rule. Central or any other team for that matter have no say when a IPL team decides they want to retain a certain player.
