Milne in the India T20 and T20 world cup 15-man squad. Should keep the we-want-faaast-bowlerzz crowd happy. They said he impressed in winter development camp - wonder if he's modified his action or anything because it looked extremely straight-up-and-down and not generating any movement from the clips I saw last season.

No other real surprises though with Vettori and NcCullum it's hard to see Hira getting a game.
I saw him get some definite outswing when he was bowling with the new ball during the Ford Trophy or whatever the hell our List A competition is called now.

So the Buchanan Littlejohn selection criteria now not only includes excel spreadsheets, but KPIs in the indoor nets as well?

No, can't say I've ever really looked at Milne and seen a successful international bowler just waiting to burst through. (Zero videos were given that day. Zero ****s may be given about this whole T20 World Cup campaign throughout NZ tbh).
LOL - peeps will jump on the bandwagon if we make the semis.

We have 3 good T20 bats - McCullum, Taylor, and Guptil
And one star T20 bowler Vettori

We have a chance of making the semis if Baz is player of the tournament.

Considering how we've spent the last few years being dragged by the bandwagon through multiple puddles of mud and every kind of **** imaginable, I think we'll be well within our rights to.

Man are the Kiwis loved here at CW.. :)


would love to see them win the T20 WC just for the sake of you great fans.. :)
CW's never been about "fans", let's face it. Bahnz tried to do you all a good turn with his NZ doom and gloom thread, but what we'll probably need shortly is a 'preferred or suspected New Zealand teams for the next match' thread. I can sort of appreciate how that ****'s only going to seem even more tedious and indulgent to people who are quickly trying to get up to speed on a minor tour.

You'll be pleased with this positivity though, I've threaded the CW needle and made Milne, de Grandhomme and Colin Munro all look quite good.

Rumours abound that Laxman is going to announce his retirement in the next couple of days. Good decision that if true.

If Laxman to retire soon; then it should be before this series taking into consideration that for any new face or someone who's making a come back like Raina to play at known and home condition before settling for away series. It'll be good in long run

Welcome back Suresh? Would prefer Laxman ITBT.
AWTA.

Would even prefer Rohit over Suresh. Stupid selectors keep selecting based on ODI's.

Ya Rahane opening and Sehwag in the middle order.
Both are basically middle order FC batsman who can open. Though Sehwag has established himself there now, and might as well stick with him.

The rumours say he will retire after this series.

And i would rather he does it that way, because 1) he deserves a nice swansong series with the first test in his home ground at Hyderabad and 2) Raina is bound to do well against Newzealand at home so i rather him not get the chance here, so then he can go and fail in another series somewhere.

Also, the next few series are still at home anyways IIRC.
