I'd hate to have Taylor as my captain though.

Ross Taylor and Brendon McCullum's performances have been pretty inspiring. Those are our replacement options.

Its pretty hard to criticise Hadds and Watto today but not very impressed with the way in which they got out, Haddin in particular probably gets bored after batting for a while that's probably the only reason he tries to play his trademark outlandish shots.
This is something that has to worked on when we play against spin driven bowling attacks, because for a new middle order batsman in these conditions coming in and starting his innings against spin can be really tough, and that's why its imperative that either Haddin or Watto go on and make big runs whenever they get off to a start.

Probably phrased a bit harshly; I'd love it if he came down to play for Glenhaven, but you get what I mean.
Always took me as a very uninspiring individual (pretty quiet and meek kind of guy who seems to live his own little world at times) and he does some stupid **** when he bats so he'd hardly lead by example with responsibility. I don't know what he's like tactically so if he's awesome in that department then fair enough, but from what I know about his on-field personality, I wouldn't be thrilled with it.

Thats actually not a bad point. I mean these players were all pretty gun 18 months ago. Now they are all depressed and intense. Easily broken unlike our teams of the past. Maybe he could bring a more natural attitude back into the team but he would have to regain some personal form.
McCullum still got it with the gloves obviously.

Already have an offie in Crayfish who bowls similar to Lyon, whereas O'Keffe brings something more different to the table and not to forget he is pretty handy with the bat as well.
EDIT: Punter gone!!! Almost seems like he and Clarke were having a net session in the middle.

He was a bit rusty in the Pakistan series, but yeah, he's right at the top of his game again now. That was sensational.
