Post by: Burdy on May 19, 2011, 03:05:06 PM: He has been injured of late. He has played some games on his way back for his club side (Colchester) and played a few 2's games for Essex.
Someone has told me he has trimmed down a bit this year to try and combat his back problems.
People also forget, he can bowl 90mph+

Post by: PM7 on May 19, 2011, 04:51:50 PM: I saw Napier bowling live in Wellington 2 years ago and was surprised by how quick he was.
He also wasnt too tall but quite stocky. The Basin Reserve is one of the prettiest grounds by far.

Post by: Nickauger on May 19, 2011, 05:41:36 PM: Because he's not good enough, consistent enough, or fit enough. Other than that, I'd say he was a good bet.

Post by: Six Sixes Cricket on May 19, 2011, 07:33:49 PM: Rather see him have a chance instead of continuing with Luke wright tho.

Good call, but then I'd rather see someone like Bopara get an extended run perhaps or bring Woakes back in. If Napier was 10 years younger, he'd be a 'one to watch', now he's a 'never filled his potential'.

Post by: Canners on May 19, 2011, 09:35:03 PM: sounds like some knock

up the Essex :)

Post by: Burdy on May 19, 2011, 09:48:16 PM: Looking at the highlights on skysports earlier, i might be wrong, but i swear he was using morrants gear
Title: Re: Napier's been at it again....
Post by: mattw on May 19, 2011, 09:51:53 PM: I didn't look at his softs, however it didn't look like he was using a Warsop bat. Had a couple of large redish stickers on it from what I saw...
Title: Re: Napier's been at it again....
Post by: Burdy on May 19, 2011, 09:53:27 PM: Just looked on google. It was a Warsop bat. Had the worse red stickers i have ever seen.

I'd rather see my dead gerbil playing instead of Luke Wright because the gerbil has more ability, not going to happen though.
