What's with all the Vincent love? He hasn't scored a FC ton in years and is in his mid 30s. Considering his technique is very reliant on his eye and he isn't scoring runs at his age, it suggests in the whites his decline is terminal. Fulton probably shouldn't be there but he should be there before Lou Vincent.
A while ago I broke down Fulton's FC career and basically before the start of this season, the first half he was a beast and in the second half he averages mid 30s with a terribad conversion rate. Before this season, if you asked me about how good a player Fulton currently is in the Shield I would say his overall average massively flatters him. Neil Broom is another who has fallen away over the previous 2 years or so. Has a ton to his name this season tbf but nothing else.

And..I said Anderson was one of the most undeserved. I didn't say he was the luckiest ever. Oh and if you can find it, I've said before that Colin didn't deserve to be picked but they saw ability (yes ability) and thought they could harness it. Same as they must be saying with Corey, coz it ain't on the pie chart. Don't let the maroon blinkers hinder your vision friend. |

Guptill McCullum Flynn (left hander) Taylor Williamson Ryder (left hander) Watling (wk) Bracewell Southee Boult Patel I want a left hander in the top 3 and I think Flynn has the technique for it. Guptill and Ryder can bowl if needed. This would be a very good team. |

My point was that after a debut like that, you don't need to do much else.
![]() The main memory is him saying the Australian team were like a pack of dogs when he came into the ODI side when Astle retired in 2006/2007. He then played pretty well, got injured before the World Cup and went off to ICL. Otherwise, after that excellent start he wasn't perhaps wasn't consistent enough opening and John Bracewell saw him as a middle order option. At the time with Fleming, Styris, Astle & McMillian that meant few opportunities. As an example, he had a pretty good home summer in 2005 against Australia and a top score of 224 against Sri Lanka, then after a 92 in Zimbabwe in 2005, didn't play in the test team again until in South Africa in November 2007. Then ICL. Just checking his test innings on cricinfo and his performances opening were better than I remembered, including a century in India. But followed up with a bad home series against Pakistan in 2003 when Shoab Ahktar was in at his peak and was replaced by Papps. |

Heres something different
Watling Ryder Williamson Taylor Flynn Brownlie DeBorder Bracewell Wagner/Martin Southee Boult Time for McCullum to go, has had 70 tests, he hasn't shown he can adapt to the game, and his average isn't that much greater that a few former Blackcaps who got far fewer tests. Guptill needs to get back playing domestics and County where he can spend some time at the crease and work on his technique. |
