Though maybe being captain and wicket keeper is too much to ask of Iain O'Brien.

But your no.3 anchor your innings???

I'd represent the Aussies a bit more but I fear their presence in my side may carry a curse of some sort...

12th Man: Jeets

Such a shame this team will be forced into retirement by the old ball 'n' chain.

50 is pushing it a bit imho.

Based on today's innings, I can safely predict this team would score 341 runs. Considerably more than the main NZ batting line up.
