I just realized Franklin didn't bowl in the Pak v InvXI side. so maybe he's still not 100%.

I'm surprised Bond actually got selected, but i'm glad he's back. I just hope he gets through it.

Patel is probably the 13th player, only if it's flat as. Glad Fulton made it.

^ I'd go with those XI's also.

edit: Franklin is unable to bowl. Sounds like Elliot might be playing and only 3 seamers.

lol caller time. Some clueless caller saying Oram and Styris should be selected when they're retired. (and bad)

Daniel Vettori
Brendon McCullum
Daryl Tuffey
Shane Bond
Iain O?Brien
Chris Martin

problem with that is that the lower order batting is rather thin. I think only 3 of those pacers would play with Elliot coming into the team.

[Pak_cricketer]

Shouldn't McCullum come a bit above the order? He's a decent batsman.

 

[irottev]

Vettori has been our best batsman in the last 2 years. He should bat at 6.

 

[CG123]

Don't think Elliot should play, you can't pick a player b/c he does good in OD cricket in a test team...
Therefore Vettori should play at six as our all-rounder.

 

[AfridiRulez]

My team would be...

Salman Butt
Imran Farhat
Fawad Alam
Mohammad Yousuf
Umar Akmal
Misbah
Kamran Akmal
Mohammad Aamer
Umar Gul
Mohammad Asif
Saeed Ajmal

 

[Dare]

Vettori
Bond
O'Brien
Martin

should be the bowlers for New Zealand in my opinion.

 

[Ari]

Just watched one news and by the way Tuffey was talking it seems like he will be playing which means we will probably be going with four seamers because I can't see them dropping Martin or O'Brien and Bond will play for sure.
