The other day, he was reversing the ball too, in his second spell. It will be interesting to see how good he is against better opposition in the long run. New Zealand's problem has always been the consistency - even guys like Computer Science Martin, Nathan Astle, Craig McMillan, Stephen Flemming (the batsman), Chris Cairns, Mark Greatbatch, etc. had the potential to become greats, but hardly ever got there.

OK maybe not Mark Greatbatch.
I'll have to disagree asif

only two of those have greats potential martin crowe and chris cairns

chris cairns was a better version of Andrew flintoff who was unlucky enough to be born in New Zealand

Martin crowe underpreformed in test cricket. He averaged 60-65 in county cricket-domestic cricket
