Is Mark Craig the worst bowler in International Cricket?

[Twatface Magee]

vs Cricket Australia Xi 1/105 off 22
vs Cricket Australia XI 0/127 off 31
vs Australia (1st Test) 0/156 off 31 & 3/78 off 14
vs Australia (2nd Test) 0/77 off 14 (so far)
Total = 4/544

And the 3 wickets he got in the 1st Test were only because Australia were going the tonk before declaring.
I don't think I have ever seen a worse bowler at International level. He gets no spin on the ball whatsoever. It must be an absolutely horrendous situation for NZ spin bowling stocks.

Yes.

He makes Robbie Hart looks like Murali on a day 5 dust bowl.

 

[Twatface Magee]

I reckon Michael Beer is abour 1000x better than Mark Craig.

 

[some11]

Bring back Vettori.

 

[TheParraboy]

Mark Craig is the type of spinner we would have selected 4-5 years ago,
ie. FC bowling average well over 40.

Simon Kerrigan > Mark Craig

 

[hineyrulz]

Honestly anyone who has played at least 6th grade would back themselves to take this straight breaker down.

 

[Pete Cash]

Tbh he out bowled Boult today.

Hardly a wrap :lol:

 

[chigurh]

Outside of Imran Tahir, yes.

 

[Scott]

Yes.

:lol: Robbie Hart was a wicket keeper you cloon. Have another go.

:lol: Robbie Hart was a wicket keeper you cloon. Have another go.

Probably the point of the reference. Lol

 

[African Monkey]

I quite enjoy watching him bowl 5 different lines and 6 different lengths an over.

:lol: Robbie Hart was a wicket keeper you cloon. Have another go.

Whats a cloon???? :? Yep you are correct i meant his left arm pie throwing brother Matthew. But i'm sure Robbie couldn't bowl any worse even with the gloves on.

:lol:

Aussies talking shit about spinners.. Please.... What a crock of shit...

Coming from the rubbish your mob have served up recently.. :lol:

I'm certainly no fan of Craig... I've made it clear I'd rather we develop Sodhi..

But Craig earned his spot by out bowling the Pakistani's in the UAE... Which none of the Aussies spinners could do... They were bent over and f**ked sideways by the pakistani's... Infact.. In one innings didn't Lyon have figures of 1 wicket for 150 odd runs?? :lol:

You wanna talk shit spinners... Weren't you guys the mob that used to have that idiot with the blue hair?? :lol:

 

[hineyrulz]

Yeah Australia has a rubbish reputation for producing spinners.

Just devo'd we didn't produce the likes of Dipak Patel and Mark Haslam.

Hey... You wanna start talking shit about our spinner...

Don't think the rest of the world are going to ignore the comedy show that was the Australia cricket team trying to find a spinner the last couple of seasons..

Your mob especially... Have no reason to laugh at new spinners... What with Beer, Cretja(sp?), O'Keefe, etc...

 

[shiznit]

Or Bryce McGain... :lol:

 

[hineyrulz]

But we also produced Warne,MacGill,Grimmett,O'Reilly,Benaud.Noble etc etc. Honestly who is your Greatest ever spinner??? Straight breaking Dan Potter or Mark i need my face punched in Bracewell???

Lyon is no world beater but he is world class compared to the laughable joke you have atm.

Getting so insecure your bringing up Warne now... :lol: :lol:

But sure... I'll play your game...

Considering we don't produce wickets that turn at all... I'm very proud in what Dan Vettori did in his career... He's not as good as Warne... But as I said... We don't have the conditions to produce many spinners...

Our conditions produce swing and movement in our wickets so we produce bowlers who take advantage of that...

Sir Richard Hadlee of course being our greatest bowler... And he stands comfortably as good as anything Australia have produced...
