He made 41 against the West Indies as well, but then he's fallen away quite dramatically. Struggling to get the ball off the square at the moment.
Not sure, quite possibly if there is some activity around.
Why exactly do you want to see this? Fulton has done alright in this World Cup since being promoted, we all know he isn't an opener but he has adapted quite well. Vettori hasn't had much of a chance to impress with the bat, but he does look in terrible form.

But I think:
Vettori .. I think he is not capable of playing a inswinger from Vaas at the start which is very sharp. However Franklin is capable of defending and as well as clearing the infield more easily. i would think he is better than vettori. Vettori just follows the ball or guides the ball on its path and makes runs...but this tactic is better in the final stages but not in top order. Franklin better to open

Lol I got 1.41
I strongly recommend betfair (which is now open to Aus users) if you aren't already.

Good to hear that Ireland have been making use of the resources around them, the commentators said earlier that they had a team session where Joel Garner came in and helped out the bowlers who were struggling to adjust to these wickets. Kevin Pietersen has also been into the Irish camp, helping a few of them learning how to play the spinners better.

I believe:
Fulton..I dont think he is good as a opener.. He is deceptable to good outswingers. He always tries to play on onside even the ball is bowled on outside off. And with swinging ball first up..he looks shaky.. I think he is better at his Pos.4. Why do you offer something new to Fulton....Better place right persons at right positions...
As we dont have a right opener, its better that we bring someone from lower order(preferrable Franklin) and ask him to bat and ask him to swing his bat to clear infield and whatever he scores will be bonus as if he clears we will get FOUR.
So, even if we lose his wicket it doesnt make difference..and his wicket is not so important then Fulton's
And this gives us a chance to not to expose our middle order to new swwinging delivery..

Yea, although the cynical will say KP is just scouting for fresh talent for the England side or something along those lines.

Yeah tried to but they didn't let Australians use paypal for deposits there for some weird reason. Was quite annoyed at the time iirc.

I agree that Fulton is not an opener and never has been, but the ball is barely swinging in the West Indies other than the first 5 or 6 overs and I'm confident that he has the technique to withstand the initial burst from the opening bowlers. We have seen how effective he is when playing the short ball and he also has a good cover drive when he gets forward and picks the right ball to play.
Promoting Franklin won't do us any good I don't feel, he is the biggest hitter in the Black Caps squad but I really don't see the point in putting him up the order and basically granting the opposition a wicket. He doesn't have the technique to suceed as an opening batsman, I feel much more comfortable with Fulton and Fleming opening the innings.

Fulton rather is granting wicket to opposition. His shot selection needs thinking. I dont think we can give the wicket of our main batsman in first 6 overs or first half hour.

He wasn't really coaching, just giving some of the Irish boys a few tips on how to play the spinners. I tihnk he has had an effect, because the batsman have been handling the slow bowlers well, and using their feet to good effect.

The fielding has been absolutely crap from Bangladesh. They've dropped two catches, their slips were too deep which meant two catches didn't carry and they have made a number of fumbles and other mistakes in the field. The fact they haven't made an early breakthrough has really had a negative effect on them.
74/0 at the moment with William Porterfield edging towards a half century. Their only opening partnership that has reached double figures in this tournament so far.
