    F*ck it, open with Munro, put Blundell at 6. Make Munro earn his keep.

    Guppy out for Napier apparently with a hammy injury, and they've called up Dean Brownlie. Would have preferred George Worker, would be handy to have his spin, plus with an eye on the future, has a way bigger up side. 3rd highest run getter this season also, a career average of 40..

    CDG will be killed at Eden Park, and I don't think his batting is strong enough for the Aussies either.. I'd put faith into Neesh to bowl 6-7 overs, and Kane to get the others under his belt. A real shame Anderson and Munro aren't bowling. Guppy Latham KW Taylor Broom Munro Neesh Santner Henry...

    Our decks are just as flat as yours these days mate. Cummin's seems a bit over rated, probably just because I listen to Channel 9 commentary instead of muting it like I should.. We should be putting up green seamers, you'd expect/pray to god our batting line up will be more solid looking at the...

    Not saying I don't agree, but what's making you think Henry won't get bazookered? He's been pounded for the majority of the season, domestically too. I think Hess won't go for that line up, I can't see Neesh bowling 10 overs. They'll probably go for a bits and ***** player like CDG :( EDIT...

    Doull drools over any ND product to be fair. He tried to put Brad Wilson into selection discussions several seasons ago.. The guy was rocking Aero styled pads at the time FFS!

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2016/17

    Gibson doesn't appear any quicker than a Tickner currently, late 130's maybe? He's not doing enough special stuff to be an actual bolter at this stage. We've still got to get through the Nuttall and Jamieson's (who have actually proved they are good bowlers) before someone like Gibson is thrown...

    David White seems confused about everything he discusses. Also he seems like a guy who thinks he is right 100% of the time, my way or the highway kind of guy. Seems like a bit of a ****

    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2016/17

    KNB, why oh why would CD get him back.. Classic medium pacer bits and pieces player who doesn't deliver consistent runs. Their bowling looks weak today, maybe they are just desperate to play someone with experience. Phillips doing well is great news, hope he plays first class cricket. Gets...

    That was the terrible year where we got smoked by Sidebottom home and away. Was it Strauss who went huge in NZ? God we sucked. James Marshall at 3 says it all really.

    Mitchell Santner -Test career averages predictions

    He makes batting look pretty easy at times, signs of a guy with good potential. Also unflappable which is handy! Can see him being more of a middle order (No 5 or 6) player who's your 5th choice bowler. So 34 with the bat, and 38 with the ball. He's still so fresh with in all cricket, hard to...

    *Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand 2016/2017

    Yes agreed, we needed his runs for sure. It's more the fact he is no long term option in the middle order, and the classic runs against Bangladesh will keep him in the side for a longer run.. Look at his foot movement. Any pace/movement, he's a dead duck.

    *Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand 2016/2017

    Why do the commentators always stroke Nicholls like he's our future middle order rock? Are they just ignoring his technical flaws?? They've already brought up his 70 in SA, as they do in every one of his bats. BTW, Mr_Mister Fulton and Elliott have been tried and failed years ago, and no longer...

    Oh FFS there he goes, hardly surprising. The worst part is he'll be picked for SA on the back of this 8-)

    Nicholls is trying so hard to not get 100.

    ***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2017

    I'd bring the Neesh back in for CDG, and give Nicholls the boot for Brownlie. I'd say Brownlie's experience and ability to play pace should put him well above Henry for this series. Nicholl's not moving his feet against Steyn, Philander and Rabada will be dead man walking stuff. Will that...

    Canterbury deserve to be rolled with that line up. 3-4 pure batsmen shows no faith in local batsmen/talent.

    Looking forward to today, the pitch looks flat as still. Weather looks the best it's been in the match (which isn't saying much), and the game has opened up a tad. Probably half a day to far advanced to get a result, but still possible. I swear Bangladesh didn't declare on the 3rd morning to...

    Yeah dumb. Give him 4 overs and see what happens. Hope this isn't a "sub continent players are good with spin" decision. Spin on a pitch like this could actually get the batsman caught out, due to them being use to rolled mud..

    Classic NZ mega green pitch troll. Funnily enough, the Black Caps fell for the trap once again.. To be fair though, Banga's have done really well here, NZ not so much. BD need to consolidate this morning, if they drop 2 quick wickets, it could be enough for NZ to rip through them. BTW Colin...
