BJ Walting keeped a little at emerging players tournament, he could be a good player to invest time in. If McCullum gave up the gloves it would sure unbalance the Black Caps.

NZ Selector · 10-08-2008, 02:28 AM

If most of the contracted Black Caps pull out of the Champions Trophy this would be the team i'd select.

J. Ryder*
M. Guptill
M. Sinclair
N. Broom
BJ Watling+
G. Elliot
C. Anderson
N. McCullum
P. Hitchcock
B. Hiini
B. Scott

G. Hay
D. de Boorder+
C. Cumming
B. Arnel
R. Sherlock
R. Nicol

Isn't Watling more of a batsman keeper? I don't really want NZ to end up like England, Griggs, Van Wyk or De Boorder for me.

Hitchcock, Anderson, Cumming=no, no, no.

Rest of the team looks good though.

In any case, England First XIs in ODIs are depressing enough - the fact that a Second XI would probably be stronger (if selected by me, rather than the selectors, that is) makes it just too depressing to contemplate.

Yeah England's first team is fairly rubbish. 2nd team could be better TBH.

For Australia
1. Hughes
2. Dighton
3. Pomersbach
4. Bailey
5. Katich (c)
6. Voges
7. Hopes
8. Paine
9. McGain
10. Siddle
11. Geeves
__________________

Voges,hopes,paine,geeves and bailey are in the squad of 30 that said they wouldn't go,and i know katich wouldn't go either.

Hughes is no where near one of the best List A openers in the country.

Robin Uthappa
Parthiv Patel (wk)
Shikhar Dhawan
Suresh Raina
Rohit Sharma

Looks like a solid team there. Would probably replace Robin Uthappa with Swapnil Asondkar. Was very impressed with Asondkar of what little I saw of him for Rajasthan in the IPL. Asondkar also has a decent domestic record.

BHG86 · 13-08-2008, 10:43 AM

Mustard
Carberry
Denly
Solanki (Cpt)
Afzaal
Patel
Mascarenhas
Read (wk)
Kabir Ali
Bresnan
Shreck

If Patel/Mascarenhas bowling ten doesn't work, then bring in Onions or Kirby

Based solely on players who haven't played in the past year, or are not picked for upcoming ODI series.

I can also guarantee I'm bound to have missed someone, just did it off the top of my head.

grapedo · 13-08-2008, 10:43 PM

I don't hink they would replace them mate the reason why they aren't going is because it is too dangerous so they wouldn't send another weaker line up to go because thay will still be in danger. But i reckon its Bs they should just go no matter what.

Sinclair
Broom
Hay
Nichol
Van Wyk
Hiini
Franklin
Scott
O'Brien

We'd be able to post a slightly more competitive looking unit if it weren't for the ICL stealing all of our second (and in some place first) string players.

Well, because it's supposedly too dangerous and they will supposedly still be in danger.

Mr Mxyzptlk · 14-08-2008, 08:16 AM

Based on the squad that was named for the CT, I'd hate to name the WI 2nd team.

Well the team wasn't in any sort of batting order!

Doesn't make sense. Watto can't be in both.

Of course he can, Watto can do anything!

Or else he could send Luke Wright as his stunt double.

Fair point.

That'd work but for one catch - we'd all spot Wright the moment the played a shot.
