Ah crap. I wasn't buying into the whole "Southee is a boss" thing, but he was easily our best bowler on form atm.
Marto is a solid replacement, hurts our batting though. I hope Mitch rips up in the 20/20s and sticks on. Bracewell really needs to stand up, or we will get plastered then bowled out for 150. |

Just been watching Southee bowling after his thumb injury (it wasn't the bowling hand). You could just about make the argument we should've played him in his impaired state. Bats at 11 (like Marto), gets hidden in the field (" ").

I have resigned myself to him getting selected again. I just hope it isn't for a couple of years. I wish he was better at List A cricket because you would think he would do well in ODIs out of all the three forms of the game.

Gutted, just heard the Southee news. Shattering blow, our 2 best batsmen and now our most threatening bowler gone. With Gillespie and Milne injured, I assume she'll be back to Wagner or Chris Martin. I'm quietly hoping McClenaghan shows some promising signs in the shorter-form to give the selectors another option, but it's probably too late for that.
