N.B. I wasn't being serious about Luke Vivian.
Didn't Fulton play his best innings for NZ at no.6 against Australia at Eden Park?Fulton at six? Last time that happened, that was the start of him going crap.

Ideally I'd swap Franklin into the team probably for Oram, but he takes at least an over to really get his eye in too.Fulton at six? Last time that happened, that was the start of him going crap.
Broom ain't a one dimensional hitter and in fact he's not great at List A at all. Really going by his records he should be a test reserve batsman and kept well away from ODIs, or at worst bat him in the top five. I think like big Jake, because Broom is capable of smashing the ball people assume thats what he'll do and thats all he'll do from ball one. Both players like to play themselves in then hit the ball only when its in their zone, otherwise they just play like normal batsmen. Yes Oram got that 101* but he was in the form of his life and the Australians kept putting it in his big six zones, so they got what was coming to them.
What we need is a list of the number sixes in the country. Putting the third best number four or someone will just epic fail, as Flynn and Broom have shown us. Whoever it is can bat at seven behind Oram (seriously, Oram at seven won't help his form at all: "Hey Jake, you're not seeing the ball very well, why don't you got out in over 45 and have a slog, btw, we need a run rate of six per over so no pressure."
The only number sixes/sevens I can think of atm are Anaru Kitchen and Tim Weston. I can't recall where McGlashan batted for ND but he'd be a decent choice. Franklin was a number five in List A wasn't he? (He'd also love Colombo under lights when bowling)
yeah good callIdeally I'd swap Franklin into the team probably for Oram, but he takes at least an over to really get his eye in too.

If someone with better computing skills knew how to get it into a web based format that can be easily tied into excel etc then I guess it may return some day.

No. I agree, its clearly not about the LCD. Its more about the copious amounts of LSD that you appear to have consumed.it,s not about the lcd it,it,s about what left on the end ashes...... u might not under stand this arjun davinder from canada saying hi to all the cric lover

Ah... secret code language I see. Nudge nudge... wink winki understood..i have PMed you my reply
Yeah, I'm a pretty big Franklin fan but I'd much rather have Oram even as just a bowler alone than Franklin in the middle overs of ODIs. If you need someone to open the bowling or even bowl first change it's obviously different story, but we're talking about batting 6 or 7 and bowling in the 15-40 over block.. I think Oram's more suited to that than Jimmy.I think the criticism of Oram's bowling in ODI's is pretty harsh to be honest. His bowling in test matches and T20's is fodder, but ODI's he is generally pretty tight and does a good job. His batting however has gone down hill dramatically in all 3 forms.

wow... who is the replacement?Gambhir out of the series with a groin injury, massive blow to India's chances.
