International Coach
Too ****ing straight Southee...
He averages under 20 in Asia. Think he is the wrong man to have in the side, can't rotate the strike against the spinners and doesn't much fancy pace/has a back foot game.20 short today. Poor.
Could say that about pretty much all our batsmen though.He averages under 20 in Asia. Think he is the wrong man to have in the side, can't rotate the strike against the spinners and doesn't much fancy pace/has a back foot game.
Guptill's a funny player but he's definitely too good at one day cricket overall for New Zealand to leave out IMO, especially since the only other opener in the squad is How (unless you want to go back to Ryder opening again which I think is a genuinely bad idea).He averages under 20 in Asia.

I liked the Ryder McCullum opening combo.Guptill's a funny player but he's definitely too good at one day cricket overall for New Zealand to leave out IMO, especially since the only other opener in the squad is How (unless you want to go back to Ryder opening again which I think is a genuinely bad idea).
