Ha. Blackcaps site says its not available in my region. My region is Central Auckland! Why would they not let us watch our own team play?

He's always had more batting talent than bowling talent, but he's an allrounder. His bowling actually seems to be the most polished of his two disciplines at the moment, actually.

If he converted a few more (see: any) of those early starts, he'd have had an awesome season.Athlai said:

The runners:
middle order:
Sinclair 837 @ 83.70-not a good idea
Myburgh 739 @ 61.58-not eligible
Patton 479 @ 59.91-inexperienced but good
Young 527 @ 58.55-I doubt he'd be test class
Williamson 707 @ 54.38-not yet

bowlers:
Tuffey 23 @ 18.91-ICL
Napier 14 @ 21-not eligible
Ellis 23 @ 23.78-bits and pieces
Boult 9 @ 23.88-see Williamson
McSkimming 12 @ 24.25-medium pace plodder
de Grandgomme 19 @ 24.84-not eligible
Shaw 19 @ 25.36-decent player. Decent only.
Arnel 13 @ 26.30-I rate him.
Burns 12 @ 27.16-nah
Southee 14 @ 28.07-no
Bennett 26 @ 29.26-**** no
Thompson 21 @ 29.90-see McSkimming
Its not the most comforting list though.

Tuffey could be eligible.
I say lets bring Williamson, though only as a Test cover batsman. Play Oram or Franklin at 6 and let Williamson play some tour games, give him some experience in Sri Lankan conditions. Get him involved in the team setup.
That leaves a space for an opener (Cumming) and a bowler ????

Patton, he has played seven first-class games. Williamson has played ten. I know he is 11 years older, but he has no future with NZ cricket. Take Williamson, he doesn't have to play.

Haven't seen Patton. What's happened to Neil Broom? He seemed to be next-on-the-list for the middle order but I've glanced at a couple of scorecards and he seems to have scored bugger all.
Maybe he's just doing the standard unwanted NZ batsman returning to domestic cricket thing and failing epicly (see Jamie How).
