It's funny you posted this because I came to this thread to post a prediction that Ronchi would smash a big score against Australia.

I must say I love that Anderson was called up and then given a game during this tournament, even if only because the game was overs reduced. The sooner we boot Franklin (and seriously how much longer can he last) the better. As long as he can stay injury free he'll be one of New Zealand's premier players in 2-3 years.

At the toss, everyone assumed it would be 50 overs.
Young fella played well. Can certainly tonk the ball, but has he shown a range of shots in first-class cricket?

Great pull shot, but sadly that's not the only trait he shares with Munro at times.

Haha. Take that Howsie.Yeah will this is the problem with an increasingly influential (yet no less) ND supporter base in NZ cricket, isn't it. Not only do they keep crying wolf, I'm not sure they even know what a real wolf looks like any more.

Ha! That is brilliant. No matter what shot he played - forward or back, offside or leg - in that clip, his front foot was in the same place.

Yeah, as you'd expect for someone who was supposedly dialling back his bowling as a youth based on what he figured a NZ attack might look like 3-5 years hence, this is more of a getting ahead of himself, less instinctive ****ness.

I've been probably the biggest Anderson batting sceptic on this forum but lets be a bit fair; I bet even Bradman would look gash if you compiled a video of all his edges, plays-and-misses and dismissals all running consecutively. Some of them did look particularly bad, but you're never going to watch a video like that and come out of it thinking someone a better batsman than when you went in.

awta, you could do montages of KW and Taylor that would both look worse

Yeah I'd disagree though that you can achieve quite the same jaw-dropping effect through a hatchet job on practically anyone, especially when you're using maybe half a season of play. A bit like two minutes of a tennis pro's unforced errors (rather than Kippax framing them over the fence), I think you could still spot the vestiges of percentage play in a better batsman's misses.
Anderson vs. Lonsdale, *Uncut* - YouTube
So, about 20 balls, defeated by the movement 7-8 times(!), manhandles Lonsdale with big bear mits in about 3-4. Selling ice to the eskimos as far as a NZ Test XI is concerned.
