Mills out of form? I just think he is not a test bowler. I think they could have left obrien out for Patel.

Redmond to get a five for.

Up until very recently he was our best Test bowler for the past 2 years or so. Hope he gets back into form and works his way back into the side.

Yeah he is something like 1 for 200 odd vs Bangladesh and NSW.

if he gets a bowl.

 

[Uppercut]

nz batted horribly, they all got themselves out, besides say flynn, that was a ripper

that slower ball of lee's is near undetectable, i've seen him get mccullum out with that in a one dayer, he holds it further back in the hand, long memory some fast bowlers

Yeah, fantastic slower ball, almost at Dilhara Fernando's level for difficulty of detection. They showed it head-on in slo-mo and i still couldn't make out what he was doing.

Gotta love Vettori.

here we go, 6 wickets in a match for Redmond less than 2 months ago http://content-www.cricinfo.com/india/engine/current/match/366302.html ... admittedly mostly tail enders.

Nice. Mishy fairly tore up in that match too

Hopefully for the 1st Test against West Indies we can have a bowling attack of O'Brien, Southee, Franklin, Oram, Vettori

.

Still lacks a fast bowler. All medium pacers. We need to develop an attack that can do well anywhere, even Adelaide. For me, should take a punt on Sherlock if hes still bowling fast. He is a bit all over the place but so is Mitchell Johnson.

 

[Zinzan]

Decent over from O'Brien, bowling well to his field

hear a lot about Sherlock, what's his pace like?

Dont know these days, but he used to be really quick. Clocked at 150 a few years ago. But hes had a lot of injuries so I dont know now. hes still young, only 25 or so I think and playing for CD at the moment.

 

[Athlai]

Isn't Boult quick?

 

[duffer]

Usain is.

 

[Nutter]

Boult is 140's from what I've heard

I'm guessing this is an exaggeration as the first 3 bowlers are all capable of clocking 140.

But no, we don't have anyone who could go as high as Bond did or what Lee/Johnson is currently getting.

 

[Athlai]

Boult will be a nice addition in 5-6 years.

 

[Zinzan]

Boult will be a nice addition in 5-6 years.

More like 2-3 years, maybe sooner

 

[Athlai]

That is the Kiwi way.

 

[GGG]

More like 2-3 years, maybe sooner

Yeah why not if he keeps taking wickets.

I think theyre all around the 130-135 mark arent they. Sure , medium, medium quick, whatever you want to call it but I just dont think having all your pace bowlers around the same speed is a great idea. It would be good to have someone 10kph faster and who that is, I dont know, but I do know that Sherlock is about that speed, so him, Boult, or perhaps Bennett from Canterbury should be looked so the attack doesnt have the sameness about it.

Come on vettori try someone else, Rhyder, Redmond or even Taylor for a couple of overs
