Stewart and Bracewell I didn't mind being in that 30. I think the selectors were reluctant to put Vincent there due to him playing overseas so much

 

[CG123]

IIRC weren't Adams and Vincent both tweaked over by NZC?

----------

Vincent isn't actually classed as an overseas player, so he should of at least been in the 30.

I'm not sure but I remember both went and played ICL. I know NZC stuffed Adams around, but iirc Vincent retired due to depression?? I'm not sure, but he could be pretty handy, just because of the experience he has. I would have him instead of Jamie How anyday.

 

[CG123]

The whole ICL thing was a mess, especially with Bond.

I just had a feeling Vincent left because of NZC like Adams, and Fleming went a couple of years early as well, because of the whole captaincy thing.

 

[ferg512]

Yeah although we haven't been great over the last few years, we have done pretty amazing considering about half our team then went to play in that crap (and we lost Fleming too early). We pretty much had to start with a brand new team.

Black Cap involved in alleged incident on plane - Sport - NZ Herald News

and apparently Kane Williamson isn't on the flight because of a stomach infection

When I saw 'incident' my first thought was Ryder or Southee. Hopefully it wasn't too major, but what an idiot.

 

[CG123]

I don't think it will be a big loss at all if Williamson doesn't go, considering you'd think Nicol would get called up, and he's been the highest run scorer and second highest wicket taker this OD season. He has the same problem as Williamson with the bat though, with a S/R this OD season of only 73, which will probably do down in the international game. Our of people who've taken a decent amount of wickets, he's also fourth in best E/Rs. With our injury problems and going by those stats, it's pretty unlikely that he won't be heading over there sometime.

 

[Chewie]

Williamson is only out for a few days. Gonna be joining the team shortly I think.

Southee has been cleared of any wrongdoing, false alarm. He chatted with a woman and was accused of "the worst possible sort of lewd behaviour" lol.

[Chewie]

Of course Southee wouldn't do anything wrong

Sky isn't broadcasting any warm up matches is it?

 

[riz7khan12]

they are, just checked the guide and they're showing India/Australia

 

[Chewie]

Oh, but not our match?

 

[riz7khan12]

that was the only warm-up game there until tuesday so i guess so.

 

[Chewie]

I suppose we are only playing Ireland in the first warmup round, they probably won't be showing that anywhere.
