FFS. The only thing I dislike about the subcontinent is the security issues, real or imagined, getting the players nervous.

Hopefully Marshall and O'Brien refuse offers. Don't want to see either near an ODI for a long time. O'Brien can be kept for tests though.

We can cover Oram with Elliott/Ryder. Styris will be covered by Flynn or Fulton I'd imagine.

I don't think Franklin will be back for this tournament. He has hardly even bowled anything in the emerging players tourno let alone domestic cricket. Highly unlikely that he'd be the same standard eg. Tuffey. They also say Fulton is way out of whack atm, i personally would like to see him play..

My Squad (if oram and styris don't play):

Jesse Ryder
+Brendon McCullum
Jamie How
Ross Taylor
Greg Hay
Peter Fulton
Grant Elliott
Kyle Mills
*Daniel Vettori
Tim Southee
Michael Mason

reserves: J Patel, D Flynn, B Scott, M Gillespie

Can we chuck Corey Anderson in there if he gets player of the tournament in emerging players? We need another backup all rounder to G elliott

His batting is good but his bowling still needs work by the looks of it. He may be given a chance depending on how many players pull out though. It will be interesting.

No.

Too early. Big risk to take at this early stage of his development. He's not even a proven Canterbury First XI player yet. Ryder can back up Elliott.

NZ Players Association says they don't support the tour, surprise surprise. Will be interesting to see how this develops.

Corey Anderson is 17 aye? Big promise, but too young. Still if all the top guys pull out, there's really nothing to lose... right?

When you average less than Shane Bond with the ball and you've had great influence in ODI victories I imagine you'd be pretty popular with the selectors.

Unless Ric Charlesworth is around, of course.
