The rollercoaster will continue? Mate you've got to be absolutely kidding.. Jesse is one of the only great cricketing talents that this country has, and with time he is only going to get better. What we don't need is for know-it-all reporters and journalists to run their mouths and talk rubbish about someone they know nothing about. Give the guy a break, hes human. Give him time to get this injury sorted and back to scoring runs for us this summer. In my eyes you really need to find something else to write about. Jesse is a great player, and an awesome guy, and i for one cannot wait for him to be back in our middle order carving up everyone in sight!

@Miggles #38 - If you think that the only people who's actions your children take any notice of, and copy, are you.. then you are seriously delusional (or perhaps you keep your children in a concrete bunker with no outside world contact??).

I don't really care about Ryder and his actions - but if you don't think that your children will take note of what top sportspersons and celebrities are saying, wearing, doing etc, then you absolutely kidding yourself.

@Synick #35 - You absolute numpty. Sam (#29) was only picking out the grammatical errors in another person's comment as that particular comment had derided the article based on a potential grammatical error!! Perhaps, before you go abusing someone else, you should actually read their comment and see what their point is.

What utter crap "the roller coaster will continue". Lets be honest here, NZ cricket isn't exactly blessed with great players and dropping him for periods of time won't help either the team or Jesse. It's obvious he's one of those people who will play up occasionally but the positives far outweigh the negatives in my opinion. I just hope he gets fit as soon as possible as the Black Caps need to be at full strength to even compete in test cricket let alone win.

he might be a great player but he needs character.no matter vettori can single handedly lift the team.

Keep it up Chubs, NZ needs someone like you! (not you Joseph by the way)

Totally agree yeah right #36 Stuff will let readers comment about who can play cricket, but not the Maori ETS deal? What a sad day in journalism.

We wouldn't want to have the opportunity to call this government and the Maori party sell outs and suck ups to big business now would we! Shh and say it quietly we don't want to offend anyone.

Yes cricket is a team game, but until we have a team who can actually put some decent scores together then everyone needs to lay off Jesse. He has been our best test and ODI batsmen over the last couple of years. As long as he's putting runs on the board who really cares what he gets upto off the field...

Cricket is a TEAM game. If one player is continually breaking team protocols that has an impact on other members of the team and, ultimately performance. Ryder needs to sort himself out and only then be selected.

I have to agree with most of the comments here. Its only opinions of Reporters that think sports people have to be role models, and why? Why cant they just be normal people that are good at sports. Some of them dirt bags. Some of the p1ssheads. some of the 'players'. Where I was a kid I didnt want to be Richard hadley, I wanted to be James Bond...

If only we had a few more like him.
