I'd say McCullum is a better batsman than Elliott. Way too soon to be calling him a world class batsman:

World Class - Taylor
Excellent
Very Good - Elliott

Is it not to early to call Taylor a World Class batsmen also, his a good batsmen but saying he is World Class is over the top.

"A couple are unproven".
He's had an excellent start but he hasn't been around long enough to say he's proven quality IMO.

Name two Australian batsman who has outperformed Ross Taylor in the past 12 months.

(I naturally mean ODI cricket as this is an ODI series and we're talking about limited overs batting)

In that case I can't think of to many, but overall we have a fair few better batsmen then him.

Yeah while in Test cricket he still has a bit of work to do to be considered world class I think he's there in one day cricket. And I'm happy with that.

I think NZ's slight drop off in bowling/Aus getting their plans better has allowed us back into the series. Haddin being able to slog sweep Vetorri a couple times has been good for fixing our middle overs slumps.
Given it's a pretty inexperienced NZ side, they still have alot of improvement to look forward to, as do Aus.

The opening partnership of Haddin/Clarke is alot more stable then Warner/Marsh and that's probally been the biggest difference.
Marsh was fantastic. Warner was never good enough, and should never have been there in the first place.

Marsh was alright, but both Clarke and Haddin have showed they are more suited to the ODI opening positions.

State Captain
We are talking ODI's and he has played 57 games, averages 40 and has a strike rate of 83. I would say that is world class.

Hello, nice 2 meet you 2 lol
What don't you get?
He called him a World Class ODI batsman. Completely different forms of the game, and yes, 1 can be World Class in one and not the other (Bracken, Mills, Taylor).

I don't think so. It unfortunately sounds like some of the crap sprouted by the C9 commentary team.
Worst troll ever?
The Ch9 commentary team aren't trolling?
