Fulton used to be slow but then he started to develop as a one day player during the chappel hadlee getting that very fast 50. Since then his batting pace has not been an issue.

Fulton was the reason we won that game. Brilliant stuff. (the Mc's finished it, but HE started it.)

I rate Fulton more then I rate Taylor. There I said it. No ones gonna agree with me.

I agree with you, just a pity the selectors have screwed him around in Test cricket so far.I rate Fulton more then I rate Taylor. There I said it. No ones gonna agree with me.
Similar for ODI cricket, too... he's batted everywhere. But in the NZ lineup, pretty much everyone has had a crack at every position

TBF he hasn't been pushed up to open, a position he clearly isn't suited to, like has happened in Test cricket.Similar for ODI cricket, too... he's batted everywhere. But in the NZ lineup, pretty much everyone has had a crack at every position

Not with the same regularity though, which was what I was getting at.

But in all honesty, now that Flem has retired from one dayers we are now short an opening batsman. There has to be a new opening batsman tried in this 20/20 rubbish, to give them a try before the more serious cricket begins later.... McCullum probably isnt a great choice but really, who else do we have???????
Personally, I would have chosen Ryder. ..... How is not good enough and Papps is a battler at best. But it seems NZcricket and Braces dont like him.
Just on another note. Dropping Fleming from the captaincy seems to have made more trouble than its worth and frankly, I think Boof Bracewell just enjoys antagonizing people. Thats his character, Maybe he thinks its going to rev Fleming up or something, but hes an abrasive, guy thats just likes stirring things up...Just a guess......

Why on earth would anybody be an advocate of Jesse Ryder in ODI cricket? With that fantastic average of 24.93 in List A games he must be a real run machine. Yeah he bats at a pretty good strike rate and can bowl a couple overs, but he hasn't done enough for Wellington to deserve a spot in the Black Caps in ODI cricket.

Totally Agree. He hasn't consistently proved himself at Domestic level and he also has a bad attitude which is not worthy of a test place.
