By Anendra SinghIf you frowned and asked "Marcus Stoinis who?" while staring at the TV yesterday while watching the Black Caps v Australia ODI in Auckland then you're not alone. Marcus Peter Stoinis, who came a lousy, lusty six shy of doing the unthinkable at Eden Park last night, is someone who had played an ODI and a T20 for Australia. But while all the hoopla is on Stoinis' bat-bludgeoning ability in Twenty20 fashion, the excitement should also be on his bowling prowess. A right-arm medium pacer who can take the pace off for never-arriving deliveries, Stoinis took 3-49 yesterday in claiming the prized Black Caps scalps of Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson and Colin Munro.
