Only Hamish Marshall and Daniel Vettori have impressed in this ODI series so far. Cairns has been expensive with the ball, and finding no form with the bal whatsoever. The top order haven't given us good starts, and we have found ourselves in a situation like 40/2 from 15 overs too many times. McMillan has only fired once, while Sinclair offered us nothing in at 3.
Our pace bowling lineup is a major worry. Our opening bowlers offer us nothing at the top, except give Australia a ripper of start like 60/1 from 10 overs. I would replace Mills with Wilson. Tuffey has been absolute crap so far, stop this **** about calling him Mr Reliable please.
We should keep Michael Papps and James Marshall in the team, and hopefully Scott Styris is available. If he is fit, I would replace McMillan with him. Tuffey has to get the chop, and hopefully Adams is not the man to replace him.
Bring Lance Hamilton I say, he is mature at 31, and is in form, unlike Tuffey or Mills. I would open the bowling with Cairns and Hamilton. At least in Cairns, we would have someone who "can" be accurate. Man, do we miss Jacob Oram.
My ODI XI next game:
1 Stephen Fleming (c)
2 Michael Papps
3 Nathan Astle
4 Scott Styris/McMillan
5 Hamish Marshall
6 James Marshall
7 Chris Cairns
8 Brendon McCullum+
9 Daniel Vettori
10 Jeff Wilson
11 Lance Hamilton
