Or top scorer? I wonder what the TAB's offering for that.

Well with Tuffey not in the squad, he'd be a decent call.

41 wickets @ 25. Hamish Bennett's one day bowling record in seasons where he bowled more then 100 deliveries
05/06 - 0 wickets (8.4 overs)
06/07 - 7 wickets @ 44
07/08 - 16 wickets @ 22
08/09 - 0 wickets (9 overs)
09/10 - 1 wicket @ 119 (16 overs)
10/11 - 18 wickets @ 22
I suppose like most bowlers staying injury free and getting consistant game time is the key with Bennett's bowling.

What happens when you remove his ODIs from the equation? The economy rate would probably drop a bit. How many matches did he take to get those 41 wickets and what is his strike rate and economy rate?
I cbf working it out.

Removing his ODI performances leaves Bennett with 7 wickets @ 24 during the 10/11 season. To take the 41 wickets it took 25 games, striking at 25 with an economy rate of 5.47What happens when you remove his ODIs from the equation? The economy rate would probably drop a bit.

After his performance in the ODI series against Pakistan I've got Bennett in my starting XI, whether or not his style of bowling will be effective on the slower decks of the subcontinent I'm not sure, but he's done enough imo.

Our core bowling attack
Mills- One of the best ODI bowlers of the 2000s. Needs to continue on from last ODI though because he has been in dire form of late.
Southee- Looked to have improved particularly in the fitness area with extra aggression/intent shown for a longer period. Had a great start to the series but had one bad performance.
Bennett- charged in hard every delivery and looked like a legit wicket taker. Also had one bad performance but came back strong in the last game with career best figures.
Vettori- Not in great form it has to be said. If he can be the number one ODI bowler like he has been in the past it could be the difference between us failing at this work cup and progressing to the later stages.
N McCullum- Showed what he can do with both bat and ball and is fast becoming a reliable player in an inconsistent team.
I have seen worse tbh.
Saw him a fair bit in the VIP area at Rhythm and Vines and came across just like he did on the field - pre his aggression tendancies. Maybe it's Donalds fault this guy has turned into a horn dog.
Mind you the media are ****ing irresponsible reporting without knowing all the facts - surprise surprise.

Man I really want Williamson in the middle order though just it's awful hard to fit him in

Don't worry about Williamson. He will have his time after the world cup. We will likely see a couple of players retire and spaces will free up. I would play him at number four and move Taylor down to five unless Taylor gets drop for a while. He has looked so miserable for some time now. Our bowling attack is looking nearly as impotent as it was last time we were here.
I wish Shane Bond and Iain O'Brien came back. Imagine a bowling line up of
Shane Bond
Iain O'Brien
Kyle Mills
Daniel Vettori
But what we will actually have in the future
Neil Wagner
Adam Milne
Tim Southee
Hamish Bennett
Meanwhile, my optimism for the Black caps is steadily declining with every game we play. The final nail in the coffin would be if we lost to Kenya. Then i would forget cricket and go and be one of Sonny Bill Williams fan boys like the rest of the New Zealanders.

I agree, it's crazy how low we've dropped. Two years ago I thought we were going to have a powerful side come 2011, something like:
McCullum
Ryder
Guptill
Taylor
Elliott
Styris
Oram
Vettori
Mills
Bond
O'Brien/Southee
A few years ago that team would have been right up there. Now half those players are miles from what they were.
So ****.

It is quite confounding how this team, the core of which are all good players (based on their past performances for NZ), can perform so badly for so long. It's like they never quite got out of bed at the start of this season and have just sleepwalked through the remainder, hoping that they'll wake up tomorrow and find it's all a bad dream.
Sure, there have been a few passengers in the team this season (Hopkins, How), but we've always had a few of those even through the good times. In fact having 8 or 9 proven good quality players available at one time, as we do now, is a luxury that any NZ fan would have grabbed with both hands and all our teeth if given half a chance.
This team needs a serious 'belief' injection some time in the next couple of weeks before the quarter finals start. Not sure where it might come from and not sure if Vettori is capable of it. Perhaps a new practice regime involving a force-fed diet of replays of ODI victories from the last 3 or 4 years. "Hey Ross, look at this" "Is that me? Hey look at the way I hit that cover drive! That was quite good wasn't it. Hey Martin you're looking quite good too." "Wow, look at that, I hit the ball where there wasn't a fielder and you and I both ran to each others' ends. Maybe we should try that next match some time." "Good idea. Yeah, hey didn't think of that. Maybe this batting thing isn't so hard."
