Poll results and a new poll

My last poll asked you to predict how New Zealand's season would pan out, and most of you (twelve votes) were of the same mind - we would lose to Australia and beat everyone else. Two cocky bastards thought we would beat everyone, one thought we would only beat the West Indies and two sad souls see nothing but doom, gloom and thrashings all round in the future.

My new poll looks at Craig McMillan. He is perhaps the most polarising figure in New Zealand cricket and I want to know what you think of him. Is he just a clown who is always going to be a clown, or is this season going to be the one where he puts the stupid shots aside and becomes the world-class batsman he should be?

A couple more options would have been good - especially "A clown who has the potential to be a world-class batsman but will never quite reach it". Just when he comes right he gets arush of blood to the head.

He's had an interesting few years - went through a bad patch then realised he couldn't see the ball and got contacts. Improved again but anger at press reports always cause him to play angrily.

I wonder, and I'm probably completely wrong, if part of his lack of concentration is to do with his diabetes.
