We have had a heaps of various different XIs lately, so I ask what should New Zealand's best line-up in Tests and ODIs?
Tests:
MH Richardson
MWH Papps
*SP Fleming
SB Styris
NJ Astle
JEC Franklin
+BB McCullum
JPD Oram
DL Vettori
DR Tuffey
CS Martin
I was really struggling to find another fast bowler, so the best that came up in my mind was Martin. I think Papps deserves an extended run in the Test team after scoring runs for the last couple of years in domestic cricket and shows some promise. Having Franklin in there I guess gives my side some more balance, and don't want McMillan in there, and I don't think Sinclair is the answer either. Maybe Peter Fulton, but I don't know if his time is ready yet.
I will do ODIs later.
