Feed Posted November 2, 2010 Author Posted November 2, 2010 Tearaway pacer Hamish Bennett waiting to exhale Although he played only the last two games, figures of 3/44 on debut, a miserly economy in the second and constantly clocking speeds of 140 plus kmph ensured Bennett was fast-tracked into the 15-member Test squad for the tour to India, an attempt to enhance the depleted bowling line-up. More... Tearaway pacer waiting to exhale Indianexpress, Aditya Iyer, 02 November 2010 Despite his six feet something frame, Hamish Bennett slipped into the hall unnoticed. Sitting quietly on his designated chair at the New Zealand's 'meet the press' session, the boy from Cantebury watched his more popular team-mates being hungrily devoured by the television cameras. He brushed his unkempt hair to kill the loneliness, punctuating the self-ruffling by swinging his right arm to complete a paralysed bowling action. It was barely the customary announcement of the next pace sensation to the cricketing world, or the express 23-year old who is said to have set speed guns blazing back home in New Zealand. There isn't a shade of pretence in the young Kiwi's low pitched voice either, a far cry from the baritone introductions of pace upstarts around the world. "I'm still a shy country lad I guess, and I still struggle to make strong statements about my bowling. I've come to announce my arrival, but I prefer to let my bowling do the talking," Bennett says. And quite a talk the ball has done so far. 'Stunned' at being handpicked by coach Mark Greatbatch for the Bangladesh tour, Bennett was one of the only Kiwis to come out unscathed from the debacle of a series (4-0 whitewash). "When Mark called me to join the squad, I was too stunned to even reply. The dream of playing for your country is just an overawing experience." Although he played only the last two games, figures of 3/44 on debut, a miserly economy in the second and constantly clocking speeds of 140 plus kmph ensured Bennett was fast-tracked into the 15-member Test squad for the tour to India, an attempt to enhance the depleted bowling line-up. "I'm just getting a feel of international cricket and closely watching how people go about the business of playing cricket. It was petrifying initially, making your debut when the team was receiving a bit of stick for its performances on the field, but I feel a little more comfortable now that I've been around for a month," he adds. But where did all begin? "I was overawed by the great Kiwi cricketers who hailed from Cantebury. The likes of Chris Cairns, Nathan Astle, Lee Germon and of course Shane Bond," he says with a fan-like enthusiasm. The last name on the list proved to be a catalyst in his teenage days, forcing the well built lad to try and bowl as fast as Bond. Comparisons with the legendary Cantebury quick have already started, but Benett is quick to shrug it off. "I want to be my own person. I think it's too early to start comparing me with a legend like Bond, but of course the adulation is always heart warming. We're different bowlers." For one, Bennett doesn't have a classical action like his small-town hero, it almost hinges on the awkward. "It looks completely different in my head. The first time I saw it on video, I was in total shock." But with coach Greatbatch having given him the license to bowl fast and worry about nothing else, the beauty - or lack of it - of the action is hardly an issue. With crossed fingers, he says: "I hope I can make my debut here. To be bowling to the legends: Sachin and Dravid and Laxman will be a feeling I can't describe. I just want to go out there and bowl some quick stuff," he adds. The myth of Bennett's speed hasn't yet spread on Indian shores, but rest assured, he is a few death-rattling hurls away from never walking into a media hall unnoticed again.
rkt.india Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 He is nothing special...has very awkward action and run up...looks very ugly when he runs...an opened chest action with not much control...Indian batsman specially Sehwag will make a gud diwali by some cracking strokes on him:two_thumbs_up:

More... Bennett blow for Black Caps Already struggling to contain India's swash-buckling bastmen, the Black Caps have been dealt a further blow with paceman Hamish Bennett unlikely to bowl on the second day of the first Test against India in Ahmedabad. The Cantabrian sustained a groin strain while bowling yesterday and captain Daniel Vettori looks to be without the debutants services when day two gets underway today. The medical team said that it is too early to tell how serious the groin injury is and are providing ongoing assessment and treatment today. Bennett said he was 'gutted' to be sidelined and will do everything he can to get fit so he can take part later in the Test match.
fineleg Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Welcome to India (welcome to bowling on indian pitches, tough life for a pacer)

ravishingravi Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 had his upper body been paralyzed, he still would have got a 100 against this attack. They never looked like getting him out
Ranjha Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 5 down for 15 on the board can it get worse? predict.
fineleg Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 can it get worse? predict. Yes, it can. India are in serious trouble of losing the Test to NZ. That will be shameful ! We need designer spin pitches in Hyd and Nagpur. :woot:
Ranjha Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 I think the great Laxman is gonna save us. His record in second innings is just incredible....Only man I trust right now..Hopefully Tendulkar will support him :) Just kidding.
fineleg Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Maybe Dhoni should lose the Toss instead of winning the Toss :haha: Lose Toss, Win Test! LOL! Zodiac - the match-thread starter must be panicking now. 3 wickets down for 2 runs!
Ranjha Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Maybe Dhoni should lose the Toss instead of winning the Toss :haha: Lose Toss, Win Test! LOL! Zodiac - the match-thread starter must be panicking now. 3 wickets down for 2 runs! The good thing is that there is a good chance that there will be a result. If India can get to say 150ish and then with a spinning track on 5th day and maybe bhajji will perform and ojha looks not so bad in this game. Anything is possible I dont necessarily think that Nz have this game in pocket. If India can survive till the end of day and get to 150ish..anythign is possible tommorow?
fineleg Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 150 will be too weak, I think. We need 200 runs to bowl against. And thats a very tough ask. It can only happen if all our (remaining) batsmen fight - Tendu, Laxy, Raina and Dhoni

It can only happen if all our (remaining) batsmen fight - Tendu, Laxy, Raina and Dhoni 200 will be more than enough for a win or draw I think but 150 does give a decent chance on 5th day for a win in Indian conditions imo.
