Sometimes the other team must just want to give up out of shear embarrassment .
Hahaha I'm glad we're selected our side based on straw man's humour. I'm okay with that. Play on Rob!

Watling isn't even a first choice in ND's side, and he's actually bemused himself that he continues to get picked in T20 sides internationally.

I dunno, I don't feel Nicol or Watling offer anything that Vettori, McCullum etc can't do themselves at 6 or 7. If one bowler doesn't come off, we have back-ups. If the order I posted doesn't do the job, no one will.
