He's probably going to shut me up and take a Michelle, but what is the fuss about Southee's bowling about, he looks pretty average to me.

Just looking over Elliott's record. While he did look pretty damn dire in his only Test, his numbers really back up his selection.

His career record is pretty average - 1173 runs @ 33.51 and 46 wickets @ 30.84 (5.12) in List A cricket. His List A batting average is worse than Hamish Marshall's and well, we've all seen him bowl.

However..

Since defecting to New Zealand, he's played 26 List A games. He started pretty poorly but the bat, but he still has a very impressive overall record. He has 645 runs @ 49.62 over three seasons. That's pretty awesome really. He averaged 64.6 in 10 List A games last season. He started pretty poorly with the ball since defecting as well, taking one wicket in his first season at 76. Again though, he's been pretty useful overall since the move, taking 35 wickets @ 24.58 in 26 games. Economy rate a little high at 4.9 but he's the fifth bowler and he's in the side for his batting primarily, so it's not awful.

Fair from the worst selection ever, really. He obviously wasn't much chop in SA but he's been one of the leading players in NZ domestic one day cricket.

I have always thought Elliot could make a OK ODI player, not good enough with either bat or ball to be a test player.

Sounds an appalling ****-up on cricinfo. :@
Not that anyone should be worried about a 24-over affair, I suppose.

A win is a win IMO, it would be very hard for NZ to come back into the series if we take this, alas I think we will lose this evening

Vettori to Bopara, OUT, it's Keystone Cop stuff out there. Bopara pushed into the covers, attempted a single, turned back, and found Collingwood hurtling for the same end. There was never any doubt that a wicket had fallen, the question was who? After a long delay and several replays, Bopara is sent on his way
