His innings in the 20/20 a couple of years ago was unreal. Such clean hitting of the ball as well.

Agreed. It was an unbelievable feat. How anyone can score 150 in a 20/20 game is beyond me, and for a guy who didn't open the batting as well.

In fairness m8 he had a pretty bad injury, not to mention he was in Englads world 20/20 squad, not his fault he didnt get selected to play.

Agreed, although it's hard to figure out quite why he isn't that good.

Bowls consistently in the high 80's (or used to anyway) and hits the ball a long way with a county batting average of 30.

Interesting fact about Graham Napier is that he played twin brother's in Neighbours a few years back. Not really, he just looked very similar

Never said he had :roll:.

My statement was correct - you can only play whats been put in front of him and my comment still stands - in any form of the game that innings was immense.

difficult to glean as the bowling was rubbish because Sussex rested more of their first choice attack

its like Rooney playing in the championship and scoring 4 goals in a half

Out for 196.

I agree with this mind, great innings today and has shown he's a good hitter at twenty20 level, but he's a solid county cricketer with an eye, can send a few tight overs down and that's it. There's been plenty before him and there'll be plenty after. He found a niche in twenty20 and carved a name out for himself due to it, he wouldn't stand a chance at international level IMO.

A poor mans Fred Flintoff IMO
