Scott Styris

As Ben has pointed out, Scott Styris has just taken his first ten wicket bag in first-class cricket - 10 for 118 - after taking 6 for 73 in the second innings for Middlesex against Hampshire. Styris promptly started making new friends by laying into the groundsman and calling the wicket "junk". Which, to be honest, it would have to be if he can take wickets on it.

What did Scotty say about the groundsman? The BBC article only reports his gripes about the pitch.

Poor pitch or not, we should be encouraged when Styris gets some good bowling results. He will surely continue to be used as an all-rounder for the Black Caps and taking wickets is one aspect of his game that could be improved.
