<p>Fucking oath. I couldn't have imagined he'd fuck up his comeback THAT badly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Expect Pattinson for the next Test. Prick better be fit by now.</p> -

<p>He's the only one in our top order whom I consider likely to score big against this attack.</p>

</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>Yeah, going into the series I knew we'd need Rosco and Kane to score big, as the others were likely to have their technique exposed. As it turns out Rosco got injured, and Kane got out to some very good length bowling. When the ball nips away off a good length time and time again there isn't a lot you can do except hope you miss it.</p> -

<p>Tests: 85 innings, 13 hundreds at an average of 49.93.</p>
<p>ODIs: 87 innings, 7 hundreds at an average of 47.00</p>

<p>We are well beyond "he's an average player that just had a purple patch" and into "he is one of NZs best ever batsmen.</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>I never said he was average just falling back towards the pack. No doubt he will still end up being if not the top of the pack somewhere close but over the last two seasons it appeared he was going to be so far ahead it wasn't funny. People where already saying he had surpassed Martine Crowe as our best batsman ever.</p> -
<p>the question is, who comes in? and what do they need to bring to the side?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Does one of the bowlers need to be dropped as well? Or do we stick with the same 11, and hope this whole game was just a really bad 4 days at the office. </p> -
<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>and they are both called 'Mark' and both have a 'c, r, a & i' in their surnames! </p>

<p> </p>
<p>I think the jury is still out whether or not he could competently front crappy home renovation tv shows though.</p> -
