[Wooden Spoonar]

very gracious of you, cheers

I always give credit where credit is due....

We nearly lost to Zimbabwe over there. You can only play what's in front of you and I'm glad we've won convincingly

Won it meth!

Hopefully he has the same effect on NZ cricket as Hadlee..

 

[JJ]

He's not anywhere near that good - but will go ok... Hadlee was pretty special, best bowler I have seen, I think

Dick Motz for me.

This is a great build up for the Saffas.

You are likening Bracewell to Motz? Never saw him, but I suspect he's not the best you've seen

 

[Twizzle]

7/125, not much of a hit out

this is like a training run before the saffas tour

 

[African Monkey]

there's nothing racist about it... PI's are the toughest out there... you would have to be an idiot not to see it.

just have a look at the NRL... :lol:

he may be an idiot and play rash shots from time to time... but saying he's not tough because he tore his calf muscle... GET THE f**k OUTTA HERE SON!!

Pffft they act like they're the toughest going round and they're better than anyone else but they're not and this is coming from someone who is half Samoan.

 

[African Monkey]

Maybe a little bit of a troll..

But most Aussies think he's soft..

Fair enough although he hasn't done too badly against you guys although I don't know what his stats are against you guys over his career. I think with him being made captain will benefit his batting as he'll surely look to take more responsibility.

 

[Horrie Is God]

It's a futile effort i understand,but it's nice to see the Zimbo boys show a bit of back bone..

This is a pretty good knock from Chakabva..

7/126 is rubbish..But it's better than 3/5,5/12 & 6/37..

His test average against us is 36.83,with 1 ton..

He came out of the blocks well against us..But his form has tapered off badly..

He is a lot more talented than a 36 bat IMO..

He need to work on the mental side of his game if he is to be your long term skip..

 

[skeepe]

Oooh right in the box.

 

[skeepe]

Looks out to me.

You're right and I think the captaincy will really help his game. Time will tell I suppose.
