Indian Tour of Sri Lanka & Triangular Series, July-August 2010

[-D-S-B-]

But he is just injuring himself on every single tour. I would rather give someone else a chance to cement his place in the side than just waiting for Ryder to come in and whack a quickfire 50 and injure himself again.

Ryder has so much talent, we can't afford to actually drop him if he's fit, that would be silly. The batting in our test side is very weak, Jesse Ryder's main game is his test game, which is brilliant so if he is available for the test side he must be picked. Right now New Zealand cricket cannot afford to drop one of their best batsmen, and it doesn't make sense to drop someone because they frequently get injured, persistence is needed and it's something that NZC already lacks.

Our team will the weakest it's been for a while...

Watling
Ryder replacement (Probably Redmond)
Guptill
Taylor
Kane Williamson/Grant Elliott/Scott Styris
Kane Williamson/Grant Elliott/Scott Styris
Gareth Hopkins +
Nathan McCullum/Jacob Oram
Kyle Mills
Tuffey/Southee/McKay
Tuffey/Southee/McKay

I would presume?

 

[-D-S-B-]

Don't rate Redmond in the shorter forms at all. Not at international level anyway! 3 4 and 5 REALLY need to stand up in every match. I don't mind the bowling, but you notice the hole that Vettori leaves.

 

[khalek]

India might still be able to get past SL's lead here and draw the game, I get the feeling that Dravid, Sachin and Laxman all will get 100s in this innings.

Yea not having Vettori is a big blow. If not Redmond then who else?

Anyone except Ingram.

 

[-D-S-B-]

Exactly, maybe he'll have to do and hopefully show us why he gets selected. Lou Vincent? Can't think of anyone else.

 

[Chewie]

Oh yes Vincent would be great but the likelihood is that they won't pick him... Shanan Stewart's not an opener so they won't pick him but he would be good.

 

[Iridium]

Oh forgot about Vincent. Yea he would be a good choice. The only reason Redmond gets selected for the limited overs squad is because of that 63 from 30 balls he hit against Ireland at the World T20 in England. Other than that he hasn't done anything else of significance in T20I and the same goes for ODIs.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

India are a disgrace, we will kick their asses.

to be fair, at least they tour sri lanka, unlike australia who try to avoid it like the plague.

Is what I'd guess at. Shannan Stewart is a very good player of spin bowling so hopefully he gets the callup for the injured Ryder.

there's jaime how,one of the marshall brothers or vincent, but i'm not sure if vincent is even interested anymore.

murali needs another 3 wickets; what are the chances the indians are giving their wickets away :laugh

 

[-D-S-B-]

I don't want to sound like an ass.... (although I know I will) but I want him to finish on 799

 

[AngryPixel]

I just wanna Sachin to score and hundred and murali to get his 3 wickets. Don't care for the result

How cruel! Actually I'd find it pretty funny as well. :laugh

Why did they include Yuvraj Singh into the Test side? He was in bad form in the ODIs and T20s (the format he's best at) so he was dropped and now he gets picked in the Test side (the format he's not so good at). I would have given Raina a shot.
