I know exactly how you feel... although in my case it's been watching Southee jogging in wasting the new ball in the last 2 years.

popping in from Amman:
- I don't understand what's up with Howsie...
- That said, Wagner can actually ruin the new ball. Not saying he shouldn't open the bowling but just talking about relative strengths.
- If you're going to pick both Ronchi and Guptill (ugh), Guptill should open. This is obvious.
- The guy who said Craig might open is awesome
Now I'm off to play rugby in 30 degrees celsius heat ma3a salame

When someone thinks wishing ill health to someone else if funny or cool, then you can imagine what kind of person he is.

Yup, pretty ordinary.

How on earth is it obvious to open with the bloke who averages about 20 against actual test standard cricket sides?

Because one person being bad at something doesn't mean the other person is going to be better. Particularly when the other person is known to be even more of a hack.

Well he's hacked a better FC record than Guptill and scored 107 more in his last innings.

He also doesn't open domestically, has next to no experience playing in the top order and has a worse NZ domestic record than Guptill. Ronchi SHOULD NOT be in the discussion for opener. He is there as a back up middle order player and likely opened so he could get as much time at the crease as possible, not to test his mettle against the new ball.
I suspect they aren't thinking of batting Santner at 3 either.

Can this hurry up and start.
Can't get worked up about these particular NZ selection debates - neither of Ronchi or Guptill are likely to score runs opening, while with Southee and Neesham injured the only other selection question is Bracewell vs Third Spinner; also very unlikely to affect the outcome of the match.
