Ok since the season is well under way now and we have seen who is in form and who is not who would you guys have in your team for the first round of the HRV cup?
For Wellington I would go with:
1: Ryder
2: Merchant
3: Shah
4: Elliott
5: Franklin
6: Bell
7: Nevin
8: Woodcock
9: Bowden
10: Patel
11: McKay
Gillespie would come in for McKay if hes fit but at this point I am going to assume hes not.
I'm trying to put together an Otago team, but its pretty hard.
I want Brendon McCullum opening with Cumming, but I also want Rutherford, as he done so well last season. Maybe it would make sense to have Cumming down at 4 in 20/20.
I'll give it a go anyway
B. McCullum (hoping he'll actually play)
H. Rutherford (guessing Redmonds still injured)
N. Broom
C. Cumming
D. Broom
N. McCullum
I. Butler
Y. Arafat (at his performances so far)
N. Wagner
D. De Boorder
W. McSkimming
A much better batting line-up without Morgan and Haig. And also the team bats down to 10 (who sometimes opens).. and possibly 11
Lol, true, true. I never thought of thatSurely De Boorder wont play if McCullum is in the team, no point having a keeper in the team if he's going to bat at 8/9/10 tbh.
That's a pretty strong top five, the bowling looks rather iffy though.
