Yeah, I had a Han / Chewie example, but didn’t use it – I bow to the wisdom of the crowd though. Chewbacca would be a nightmare to share a dressing room with though, he’d be always pinching your deep heat, I bet.

JarJar is John Bracewell, just FYI.

No need to bring JarJar in to the mix we’re talking the original star wars 1977 version. Yep Han and Chewie are the closest to the Mark. Although McCullum probably bats just like Han Solo would have. At a pinch Taylor could be Skywalker but he’s not enough of a try hard. The rest of the team are really just rebel scum (read bit part extras) that get mowed down on the way to the Death Star.

Damn it! Someone beat me to the Han/Chewie analogy! Although I wasn’t prepared to go so far as to call McCullum Artoo, i was leaning more towards Boba Fett – the ruthless mercenery… The real question is, who is Jarjar? Grant Elliot has an elongated neck, and his interviews are always really annoying to watch. Also, where do John Wright and Justin Vaughan fit into this?

I reckon Chewy (Greatbatch) and Han (Vettori) – which I think sits between B and C. Everyone says a Wookie would be handy in a scrap, but you never really see it. He only flys the Falcon when Han has more important things to do – like shooting down Empire fighters. Ultimately, Han and his blaster always have the last say, while Chewy does a lot of putting his hands on his head and growling from the passanger seat.

I also suggest that makes Taylor Skywalker and the rest of Black Caps test top order Leia (always in need of rescue).

I can go further…Guptill (C3PO), McCullum (R2D2) etc etc.

But back to Han and Chewy. It would be good if at the first team meeting under the new regime Vettori had informed the top order that Greatbatch would rip their arms out of their sockets if they lose.

Ryder – Jubba, or is that just mean?

More like A; but the other way around.

I think.
