_Ed_ Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 True, but in most cases it wasn't just bad luck or a mental thing - they had real deep-rooted technical flaws that were repeatedly exposed by world class pace bowling. Not what you want in an opener. It is a shame, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Ghost Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 [spoiler= cricket talk] Fleming Astle Taylor Styris McMillan Cairns Oram McCullum Vettori Mills Bond It's not necessary to have that much depth in the batting but Oram and Cairns are both far better options than Stuffey, Adams, Franklin etc. And sorry Angus, but Lou Vincent really was a very shit player.

Me Rug I Sty Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Aye, I can't remember a heap of Vincent, but he's probably been one of better openers in previous years? But we've had better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBear Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 You can't remember anything about Lou Vincent because he was shit. End of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I'm now an editor. I used to be a producer, which meant I typed up captions from scratch for TV programmes, as well as doing the news; now my job is to edit the captions others have done, as well as still doing the news. And I'm meant to be the guy to answer people's questions and solve problems in the weeknight/weekend shifts now. It's just a bit more seniority, really.

Me Rug I Sty Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 You can't remember anything about Lou Vincent because he was shit. End of. ...or because I was 12 when he retired from international cricket He's got half decent stats, however... Maybe not for ODI, though.

That guy was my hero. Drank so much coffee at work this morning. Will probably be up for 2 days. Know that feeling. Ugh, hate this weather! It's 25 degrees-plus and a million percent humidity.

Michelle Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Unbelievable rain here today. Surface water on the harbour bridge! It's raining so hard the water's not even getting enough time to slide downhill. Yeah the rain just did not stop nearly all day. But it's good though to fill up the water supplies and prevent or lessen the effects of this summers drought. The little pateke pond on Tiritiri was already pretty low when I last went, this rain hopefully filled it back up for the little ducks this was today: Wow. I'm a little jealous though since I still haven't had much experience with snow. Is that a random person or Oren? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBear Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 It's Oren. He made a snow angel...not sure how appropriate that was in a cemetery. I've never seen so much urban snow in my life. Its all kinda frozen over now so will be around awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
