Some massive hits again by Anderson today. 2 onto the roof.
No doubt he's going to become a ipl millionaire
-
yeah didnt he hit 60 odd of 40?
-
He's a big lad. Hope he doesn't follow in Jake Oram and Freddie's footsteps and end up with shares in BUPA.

He's had his fair share of injuries already, but seems to be in a good spot at the moment. Please don't put him in Oram's league!….Oram sucked real bad, Anderson has some flair and skill. Our next hope behind Williamson and Boult.

Oram, BEFORE he got the first really bad injury, was class. Then he lost all his pace.
-
The Oram that scored the 100 at the WACA in a ODI against Australia was pretty damn good. That summer he was the only NZ player who stood up to the Aussies.
It looks like he went a bit downhill after that.
-
Oram's 120-odd at the Gabba in 2004 isn't shabby.
Then again, McGrath got 61 in that game.
-
Ha ha the famous 61... that spurned "the bat" (I wonder if the McGrath 61 bat went on sale to the public?).
-
Yeah he was good for a couple of games and then went so downhill it wasn't funny. What really made me hate him though was when he was at his worst in terms of form and contributions I saw a documentary on the team and he said "As long as we have a descent start Stephen (Fleming), Dan (Vetorri) and Myself (Oram) will see us home". I almost carked it right then and there after hearing that. Rated himself when he was clearly being carried by the rest of the team. Useless!
-
Surely he was better than Styris?

No way. At least Styris goes boom when needed. Oram with all his size and Power never delivered.

I may have to check Statsguru on Cricinfo but I always thought Oram was a better player...
Oram:
33 Tests - 1780 runs at 36.32 with 5 hundreds and 6 fifties + 60 wickets for 1983 runs at 33.05
160 ODIs - 2434 runs at 24.09 with 1 hundred and 13 fifties + 173 wickets for 5047 runs at 29.17
Styris:
29 Tests - 1586 runs at 36.04 with 5 hundreds and 6 fifties + 20 wickets for 1015 runs at 50.75
188 ODIs - 4483 runs at 32.48 with 4 hundreds and 28 fifties + 137 wickets for 4839 runs at 35.32
Very similar numbers! Styris better with the bat and Oram better with the ball.
The identical test 50s and 100s is particularly scary! Have they ever been seen in the same room?

Styris played 4 less tests than Oram so with my calculations would have scored a 100 in each of the 8 innings available to him, so 13 100s instead of 5 ;)
-
To be fair, I think there was one tour to the West Indies I remember where Styris scored 2 hundreds and 2 fifties and was the on fire... it would be interesting to see how many of Oram's hundreds were either scored against Bangladesh or Zimbabwe (or scored at that absolute road called Seddon Park... are they ever going to put some grass on that wicket? Or give it some bounce or turn or something?)
If we were to post a topic on the worst test venues in the world in terms of game interest Seddon Park would be up there!
-
I watched the test match in Dunedin and must say that and the Basin Reserve both played nicely though, a good contest between bat and ball!
-
Is there a better hitter in odi cricket at the moment. Anderson nearly got the record for the fastest 50.
Real big hitting
-
That innings just earned Corey another couple of hundred thousand at the IPL auction. He hits the ball so cleanly. He reminds me of Nathan Astle's double century in Christchurch when he dispatched Caddick to all parts.
Corey will probably be one of the most sought after players in next month's auction.
-
Will the real " Big Show " please stand up :D
-
C Anderson will thrash pace bowlers n medium pacers in IPL coz of motorways, it will be exciting to see how he will handle spin bowlers dere ;)
-
It will be very interesting to see if he gets a top IPL contract. Decent bowler (Not so good last night) and explosive batsman without slogging. Pitch up booms straight bowl short and pulls and cuts, length balls just disappear.
Very cool seeing NZ doing so well. For so long we have struggled since the retirement of Fleming et al. I was looking at our batting line up and could safely say that I was not worried at all. Explosive openers, Williamson and Taylor to bat through, McCullum, Anderson and Ronchi to go Boom. Lets go 3 from 3 on Saturday!
-
Williamson is looking more and more like a class act with every game. Let's hope Anderson isn't another Richard Levi as he hits the ball seriously hard.

And he gave his man of the match winnings to my club. Great man.

Future skipper as well I think, and with Ryder back NZ looking good as always for the T20 World Cup.
