    <p>To blatantly steal something I read on facebook I wonder whether Mark Craig could be the next Mark Richardson ?</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Unlikely, but some parallels are there. For all the shit he gets as a bowler ( from me amongst others ) you cant fault his dedication, determination and ability with the willow in hand.</p>

    <p>Taylor back = keep Nicholls, and let the part-time spinners stand up against the argument for Craig, by dropping him.</p>

    <p>I think I know as much as some of the "experts" who have made careers talking about it.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>When the pressure is off and we're fucked beyond belief there really isn't a classier batsman on earth than our Tim although Boult is challenging him for that mantle.</p>

    <p>Weak and pathetic.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I reckon Henry must come in for Bracewell next game...</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I'm sick of hearing that Doug "bowled much better than his figures suggest" ..... He spent most of the match bowling far too short for a bloke who only bowls 130km. Henry can bowl 145 and hurried up a number of the aussies in the ODIs.</p>

    Down she goes <br>
    If you get rolled for 180 on the first day there will only be one result, dodgy umpire calls or not.

    It's February, clearly it's rugby season and the BCs have their eye on watching the Super 623 start....

    <p>So among the BC's get a pass mark?</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Openers delivered down to expectation.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Nicholls was OK on debut I guess</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Craig batted well but leaked 150 runs.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Southee was Southee</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Bracewell was the medium pace version of Craig but slightly better with ball and slightly worse with bat</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Corey isn't a 6 on this form.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Boult's still broken</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Kane's form has dipped just when we need him most.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>BJ ditto</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Baz - looks like the right time to retire from the longer version</p>

    Henry will bowl mid one thirties if he gets a go so don't expect a speed demon. <br><br>
    And we are also hearing Dougie is a much better batter than his figures suggest. If only Mrs Crazy believes me when I tell her I can go longer than my results to date suggest. I'd get a consistent start too.
