The trophy is gone but if it rains we could still draw the series.

No Broom, Stewart in and Franklin down the order could the selectors have got it right!?

Ingram has left the Blackcaps squad to go and play for Central so thats the first bit of good news we have had for a while. Franklin and Tuffey should both be good to go as well.

Franklin was bowling in the warmups at Seddon park so he can't be far away from being ready.

Good on NZC for showing some balls and getting rid of someone who has no future at the top level. Normally we would mess around for at least 12 months with useless players before getting rid of them.

Yea SA are over due I think they are coming the year after. The recent Pakistan series over here was their home series we were meant to be going over there to play but couldn't for obvious reasons.

You know who is still a chance for the test side. Next season its just Pakistan coming since the world cup is on. I am guessing we will probably do a big 7 match ODI series with them as a warm up can't imagine either side being bothered with a test series that close to it.

Final squad for the remaining ODI's announced. New Zealand Cricket - Stewart named in ODI squad Only Stewart and Mason added from the Original squad.

I would certainly hope so. :laugh

That would be the smart thing to do but you see our selectors are not very smart. Ari added 1 Minutes and 9 Seconds later... Yea we are screwed.

Any other changes or just Stewart in Franklin out? or is Franklin still there but Stewart is in just as cover?

I reckon Broom will get another go now I can't see them making huge changes to a team which has pushed the aussies. Nathan will probably replace Franklin and we might see Williamson if Taylor can't play.

Just heard that someone will be coming into replace the injured Franklin and that Taylor is not in good shape either.

Any idea when the squad will be announced?

If all goes well he should be back for the world T20. He was back playing club cricket today.

Its a difficult one but as far as I am concerned and I think you will agree with me we can't add another pure bowler at this time the batting is just not good enough which means if we arn't playing a Franklin/Oram we have to go for another batsman ok thats fine but my concern is when someone...

It was good in Napier and if you take out White's two 6's which would have been caught at any other ground it wasn't to bad today either. He is still inconsistent but seems to be improving you couldn't really bank on Styris or Williamson to be any cheaper. We don't really have a 5th bowler we...

Can say the same thing about me and Franklin. Broom has been given a fair run and should probably be dropped now. Franklin has been in and out of the team more and I reckon he should be given until the end of the series with a lower batting slot if hes still under performing then he should be...

Well since the squad was only announced for the first two ODI's if Franklin is badly injured we might see Williamson called up.
