Right now I'm watching the first test between India and New Zealand LIVE.

I didn't wake up at 3:30am like the Indians to catch the action - I haven't slept! The match started at 2am in the part of the world I am in.

Reading the Kiwi batting order, I saw a James Franklin slated in at number 6.

James Franklin?

Isn't he a Left arm pacer?

That's what I remember him as.

When did he become a test number 6?

Then I looked up his profile and was surprised to see that he had a test century against his name.

When did he score that?

Apparently against South Africa while batting at number 9.

I don't think he's batted higher than that position ever before.

Actually he has. He batted at number 7 in the last test he played.

But when did he become a batsman?

It shocked me even more to see that Franklin has 6 first class centuries including a double and 17 half ones!

Wow.

Sportsfreak / Leg Break - I'd like some insight.
