NZ all-rounders

[Rik]

Being English, we can't criticise anyone else's spinners.

Ok, I'll change it for our English users:

Would you trust Dawson, Batty and Schofield?

 

[marc71178]

Dawson, and Batty possibly not, but Schofield's a leg spinner so it's a scandal he's not played 50 Test's by now!

 

[Bazza]

I thought Giles had made the grade Marc?

Here's a thought on Adams - would anyone put him in a bracket with... ooh.... I dunno.... say Flintoff?

 

[marc71178]

No, Giles plays for a poor county and isn't a leg spinner!

I'd say Adams and Flintoff are fairly equal.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

And Going to the World cup with one spinner. That is also a big call.

Keep in mind the country that the WC is being played in.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

No, Giles plays for a poor county and isn't a leg spinner!

I would consider Adams a better bowler and Flintoff, possibly, a better bat.

NZ Would only play one spinner per match but with the injury problems Vettori has had the last few year, you would think that there should be a back up for him.

I would probably choose Sulzberger ahead of walker and Wiseman. Walker is not quick enough through the air and while wiseman is a good batter, his bowling lets him down.

 

[Bazza]

[subtle hint to England selectors] Yeah no point taking a bowler who can't bowl. [/subtle hint]

Or an all-rounder who can't bat or bowl at the moment...

 

[Bazza]

Hey at least he can fie... oh wait no he can't. :rolleyes:

 

[marc71178]

He's good for team morale?

There must be something he's good at!

But there's only so much we can say about Chris Cairns!

I know I've asked this b4 but why has Mathew Hart been dumped by the selectors???? I know he is another lefty but he has a 5 wicket bag in ODI & his average is just under 30????? None of the other contenders come close in ODI!!!!!
