Favourite NZ Player

[Kiwi_Luvs_Cricket]

Hey everyone,

Who would be your favourite NZ player in cricket history?

I would have to say that mine is Martin Crowe. He was a really good batsmen, probably one of our best.
This is quite a difficult question, because there have been many good NZ players. But if there was one you could pick, who would it be?

[Andy Mellon]

Ken Rutherford and Richard Hadlee. Although I always found Adem Parore very entertaining and Dion Nash had a lot of grit and determination. Mind you, that could probably be said about a lot of New Zealand cricketers.

I've never really found too many New Zealanders good to watch. Wright, Chatfield, Edgar and Howarth were all so boring cricketers. Then again, I don't rate many of the English and Australians over time either. Much of my favourites tend to be West Indian.

However, I always enjoyed watching Glenn Turner bat and Chris Cairns would definitely amke me switch on. Hadlee was a class bowler, but somehow I never really enjoyed watching him. Oh, I did like Jeremy Coney - don't know why really but I did.

I would say Shane Bond, it really is a pity that his career is being cut short like this.

[Beny]

When is bond expected to play again? Is he expected to play again?

My favorite NZ player would have to be Chris Cairns, for obvious reason. But does anyone remember Lou Vincent - he scored a hundred on debue in Aus vs Aus, and then very recently scored a hundred in India as well..but then struggled afterwards at home against Pakistan, and has since not been picked. For some reason I always liked him a lot. I also thought he was one of the few international cricketers I have come across that actually looked nice being bald ;-)

I think Lou Vincent was dumped because he wasnt doing well. But yeah, I remember him. He seemed to have quite alot of potential.

He smashed 104 at the WACA on debut, which was one heck of an innings. Unfortunately he was terribly inconsistant, I think he was given a fair enough shot before being dropped.

I don't think Vincent what personally disagree with that either, he was given more than his fair share of opportunties, but I guess he just didn't have any luck at all at his side then. I'd really like to beleive his career isn't over, last time I heard he was playing for NZ A in SA vs SA A, SA A won that series as far as I can recall, but I have no clue of how Vincent has been doing in the NZ State Competetions, may be he can force his way back into the side again by playing well domestically, I see you are located in NZ, may be you can tell us how he has been doing...

Well, I havent really heard anything about Vincent really.
