Franklin's bowling in the longer form has always been better than his limited overs stuff so you could play him as an all rounder. But I would rather him play the Ryder role and be more of a batsman who bowls maybe 10 overs a day. If he shows his bowling has picked up again maybe he can play as...

I am going to echo most of you guys and go with Martin, Southee, McKay and Tuffey for the pace attack with Arnel being the next choice should any of them go down with an injury. However I am not sure how the rest of the team will line up. Vettori said at the toss in Dunedin that they were...

We seem to be playing well against Canterbury just terrible against everyone else.

Rhodes > Shah :laugh

I think they hit the nail on the head when they said Franklin and Broom look like they are playing in fear for their spots. I hope they are given a decent run just to build some confidence up both have good potential. Glad Franklin finished not out that will do him some good.

I don't mind us going over there to play they tend to go much better at home but I would much rather us play someone better during our limited summer Sri Lanka isn't doing anything right now that would have been a better tour.

This is pathetic we shouldn't be inviting them to tour here after this.

NZ bowling first it might be a short game.

Yea the start time is a bit odd for this game. No lights in Dunedin but we are far enough south that the light will still be good at 8pm when they are meant to finish.

If it was ever going to happen now is the time. Home ground for him, small boundaries and a weak attack.

Interesting that NZ has played more T20I's than anyone else that does surprise me.

Great to see Williamson in the runs again today.

and we have lost just about every other game we have ever played (excluding the first world cup) We would certainly be no higher than 6th that would be the absolute limit. 31 Matches 13 Won 16 Lost 2 Tied Hardly screams number one does it? Even in the last two years we are only 8-8-1

Those rankings are so badly flawed its best not to pay any attention to them.

Might be time to start rubbishing Franklin's bowling it worked for Oram's batting.

Decent pace I said he looked quick when I saw him at Seddon park last year.

Save some for the aussies Jake.

Looks like me rubishing Oram is finally paying off. :laugh

Could be a good game I won't feel safe with anything less than 300 on this deck.

Alright time for Oram to prove me wrong. :laugh Geez lucky escape for Broom.
