  1. The Big Cheese

    Your country's all time ODI and test teams?

    My New Zealand test team: 1. Turner 2. Wright 3. Jones 4. Crowe 5. Sutcliffe 6. Fleming (c) 7. Cairns 8. McCullum (wk) 9. Vettori 10. Hadlee 11. Bond 12th man: Richardson (very close call) The four bowler look was mainly because i don't think another NZ bowler deserves to be in there.

    NZ- gutsy overachievers, gormless underachievers, or just kinda average?

    Extremely True. So true it makes me angry! :@

    Is Daniel Vettori underachieving?

    I would rather play Millsy than Gillespie or Martin, if injuries allow. Surprisingly, Gillespie does have good first class figures, so maybe he could be an option. http://content-nz.cricinfo.com/ci/content/player/37111.html Agreed about Franklin. Agreed about Mcmillan :) . When i saw him bowl...

    Australia's Zimbabwe Tour in Doubt

    The Twenty20 WC is in september. :happy:

    ***Official** West Indies in England***

    That's what everyone said about Sri Lanka touring England. With a few minor exceptions. (ie. Murali)

    Is Daniel Vettori underachieving?

    Sorry, the 2 test SA series may be a rumour, I can't actually find what first led me to believe that! Anyway... Here's Mills' last test match! http://content-nz.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/238207.html 3 wkts for 79 runs isnt too bad, and almost reflects his test career thus far: average of...

    Where to for NZ cricket in the next few years?

    Im pretty sure the bangladesh series is before the south african tour. As for Vettoris exclusion in the two series :blink: what!? I was under the assumption vettori is a given when trying to play the best side. IMO if patel's good enough to be one of the four bowlers, good on him, but at the...

    ***Official** West Indies in England***

    yeah! what the last guy said! :@ Everyones against Joyce because he's irish! (ill probably regret saying this) But seriously, Joyce has been a very solid perfomer, and he clearly looks a better test batsman than ODI so why not play him in his strength?

    Australia's Zimbabwe Tour in Doubt

    IMO Zimbabwe should be taken off the touring map for all cricketing nations. It cannot seriously guarantee the safety of top sporting teams such as the australian cricket team. When is the tour btw?

    Is Daniel Vettori underachieving?

    I think the SA tour is only 2 tests... :@ I know! Until NZ gets some decent tests series against good rivals like South Africa, we will always be one step behind in the test arena. People talk about Not enough support for NZ test matches, itll only pick up support if we play more, and then...

    What subject does Ingram teach? I think we are chappell-haddlee'ing just after the twenty20 wc. After that, I think theres a home series with bangladesh, then away at SA, and then home against england. (all tests and one dayers, the order could be different.)...

    Just an abstract point here. Vincent always seems to perform exceptionally in bouncy conditions. ie australia and south africa. He was one of the few kiwi batsman who people werent calling for the head of after the ODI series in SA... :unsure: I guess what im saying is, what if we had vincent...

    Is Daniel Vettori underachieving?

    Then doesnt that make his record more impressive? A slow left arm seamer picking up 5 fers and 6 fers all over the place!

    Does it really matter? I know I wouldnt care. But thats just me i guess.

    I don't agree with all the praise Styris is getting. Sure he did well in the WC, but it really is a golden patch of form for him. We all know he does well in the caribean, but what about other areas? In the SA test series recently he scored one 50 in 3 tests...

    Apart from two magic double hundreds, he has failed at international cricket. I think he's had his chance and has squandered it. Yet another NZ player with considerable talent but a small amount of application or consistency.

    Fultons figures are slightly bloated by his not out 300. But nonetheless i agree with you there. He looks to be an oddity in NZ cricket: someone who can consistently score runs. Hes not overly young, but that seems to have counted in his favour already over Taylor who really showed some naivety...

    Fleming is not an opener. The reason he opened in tests was because there was absolutely NO other options after richardson left. In the Aus test series, flem was out to mcgrath lbw pretty much every time for a score of <10. He performed well in the SA test series with a double hundred lets not...
