BARNES OUT
Would prefer it if you didn't refer to Adelaide as part of Australia.
It's insulting to all of us.

I think thats our strongest possible line up for the Adelaide test so I'm happy. I think Fulton at five isn't such a bad decision, even though there will no doubt be calls to see him at number three, and McCullum moving down the order was clearly necessary. Thank goodness Elliott's gone.

Personally can't see it happening, especially without Jacob Oram in the mix. Ryder's got potential to play a role with the ball in the future but relying on him as a third seamer and only carrying two specialist pace bowlers is too much of a risk IMO. Its not as though the trio of Southee, Martin and O'Brien bowled badly in the first test either.

Yeah which is why I'm not demanding his place in the team with my fanboy antics. My gentle complacence is my way of saying he shouldn't play I spose.

no sh1t hey, sometimes i wonder how much gobby goes on in those selection meetings, itbaffles me, dean jones went for less, maybe because he wasn't someones fishing buddySymonds heartfelt apology to teammates.
I reckon DHussey/Hodge/Watson/Bollinger/Noffke need to have an emotional crisis to improve their standings.

mate the way merv carried the aussie pace attack in england in '93 is the stuff of legends, on one leg with little help and tough pitches, and a blonde hogging the limelight.

perhaps even more reason for fulton at 3 and ryder to drop down if he's going to be doing a fair bit of bowling, i could see him bowling 20+ overs on a flat adelaide road in the heat and then coming in at one for stuff all

Then maybe we could think about a 4th and a 5th? Would be unprecedented for NZ, but a nice thought.
