New Zealand A General Discussion

[vandem]

Following on now. Some fight from Flynn, Brownlie and Woodcock, but double failure from Broom.

Rob Nicol and Tipene Friday are playing, Friday as a replacement for injured Wheeler, but anyone know why Nicol is there?

Nicol is the next NZ opener we haven't tried out tbh.

And for good reason...

This might seem a little bizarre but...

Does Rob Nicol remind anyone else of Mohammad Azharuddin??

Especially when he's batting with helmet on... and even more so back when Nicol had a horrific mo.

Nicol reminds me of a prime LBW candidate to spin.

 

[Hurricane]

Has a good sweep shot though...

Lucky NZ openers never have to face spin

Meanwhile this latest scorecard reinforces my preconceptions as Broom and Flynn both revert to their respective means. India EP would have been happy that only three NZ batsmen made it onto the bus this morning.

181 for Dean Brownlie. 0 for Neil Broom. Looks like a pretty good day against SA, seeing as they did reasonably vs India and we got pumped by India.
