I was joking before when I said that Henriques would be in line for a call up because he was dropped by NSW. There seems to be a fashion for Australia playing guys who can't get in the NSW first class side.

Cricinfo - Australia call up Henriques for Twenty20

played against the New Zealanders recently as part of the Prime Minister's XI. He conceded 70 runs from ten overs and hit two sixes in his 13-ball 20 as the visitors were beaten by six wickets.

"The national selection panel regards Moises as an exciting young player with the all-round ability to play a role in the World Twenty20," Hilditch said. "We recently included him in the PM's XI match against New Zealand where he played exceptionally well and we are hoping this opportunity will help him to continue his development."

I think Moles is gonna screw up our ODI batting

There were comments made about how he was going to implement a more cautious approach at the top of the order in ODI cricket, and it's obvious from McCullum's recent batting.

Setting your stall out for 1/100 off 25 leading to 270 is just not good enough imo.

All based on just one ODI match? NZ have done superbly in the preceding 3 matches as far as batting is concerned. That said, I express my discomfort at having Cumming as a middle order batsman in the team.

No

Based on the last 5 matches

NZ have batted slowly at the top of the innings in all 4 matches this series and in the PM XIs match

This follows on from public statements from Moles that he wants NZ to take a more measured approach at the top of the order and that he likes the old-fashioned idea of openers batting through in ODIs

But they have done not too badly have they? That said, McCullum can serve NZ best if he bats like himself and not some shadow.

Henriques is a dire selection, if they wanted to reward good young potential why not give Reardon or Quiney a go?

They wanted an all rounder it seems. It is only a T20 when they start picking him for the ODI then start getting worried.
