He barely averages under 30, FFS. Open your blinkers: Southee is servicable but he isn't, and never has been, a genuine stike bowler.
He's Simon Doull, basically. Good in swinging conditions, but otherwise middle of the road. Not bad by any stretch, but firmly in the solid journeyman category.
Interestingly, though, only slightly worse than Jimmy Anderson (who has longevity on his side for sure).

Possibly a nickname/sledge that's been around for ages, but I saw one of the Aussie Facebook cricket pages referring to "Jimmy Clouderson" for the first time last week. Overly harsh, but they take no prisoners across the ditch.
I'm not a noted fan of Southee. But I'm still shaking my head at opening the bowling at the SCG with Henry and CdG in our first ever Test match back there since 1683...
-
remember at the start of his career, when Jimmy Anderson was pretty average? It seemed the only guy he got wickets against was us. He got better and better though. His seam release is almost perfect these days, what a swing bowler.

@mariner4life He's someone who'll be appreciated more when he retires. Prboably the best swing bowler the game has ever seen, both with the duke and kookaburra.

Bloody hell, I still have nightmares of sitting on the couch in the mid 90s when NZ were chasing a hundred odd to win and him and Waqar got five each. What a pair they were.

Regularly taking such mighty scalps as Rod Latham, Shane Thomson, Ken Rutherford and the two Blairs.......( MN5 shudders at the state of NZ cricket in the mid 90s )

So how do you think those of us at Seddon Park felt?
Wasim is my favourite fast bowler.
-
@mariner4life Yeah, no comeback there, I conveniently forgot about him.

most batsmen from the 90s would like to do the same

@shark said in Other Cricket 2020:
@MN5 Gunner seems to think Southee is beyond reproach. He's not. I'm just balancing the argument.
How is it up there on that high horse?
Good, Tim's Dad.

Womens cricket is pretty rubbish viewing. If they think putting womens cricket on TV will bring eyeballs.. he is kidding himself. The product just isnt good.
""We're very, very focused on making sure we've had a very strong lineup of women's content on Spark Sport because we think that's a terrific opportunity."
Happy to let ratings decide? Yeah I bet not.

You realize they arent talking live cricket during the covid timeframe? You would watch competitive marbles at the moment.

It's womens cricket, of course I didn't read the article, man!!
OK, that is a big no from me then. I assumed it was about live cricket.
