New Zealand tour of Sri Lanka, 2009

[Howsie]

Why would Peter McGlashan be keeping for? I just don't understand that at all. I have no qualms with McGlashan in the playing XI, but McCullum's a far better keeper. It's a strange one that.


I voted for Turner and Wright too. Should be a good read when they've finished up.

I went for Turner and Richardson in the end I just couldn't vote for an all time NZ opener that averaged 37. I Know Wright was a great player I can vaguely remember him playing as well.

I am sure they will go with Turner and Wright.

Didn't vote Richardson because of the one day factor. Voted for Turner and forgot the other one.

 

[Howsie]

One Day factor?

 

[Crew of Black]

I went with Turner & Richardson as well.

It will be interesting to see which all-rounders get in, I mean John R Reid, Chris Cairns, Richard Hadlee, Bruce Taylor & Daniel Vettori are all quality all-rounders, even though you could get Hadlee & Vettori in as apart of the main bowling attack, Reid & Cairns will be a real tough one to choose between though IMO.

Looks like McGlashan will be taking the gloves which is stupid. Because of that either Nathan McCullum or Butler will miss out.

Both should play for me. Butler HAS to play, so looks like N McCullum misses out.

 

[Ari]

I will be annoyed if Nathan misses out he was our best bowler against Sri Lanka in the T20 world cup.

01:30 start. Hopefully we bowl first then. Can't wait to see Shane Bond back in action. I've had that stupid James Bond theme song stuck in my head all day to

No, whys that?

 

[Howsie]

No, whys that?

Just hyping up Bond's return pretty much. It showed him bowling in the nets and he was pretty quick, I think it was Guptill that he yorked.
