***Official*** New Zealand in Bangladesh & Sri Lanka 2013

KW has slowed right down today. When he was clocked he was on 27* (30) or something.

 

[Flem274*]

That's probably because he made his fc debut 6 and a half years ago

The more I see of him the more he makes me think of an undeveloped Ryder. Huge talent.

If Anderson played all his home games in conditions that favoured spinners more than quicks I'd back him to average 40 over his career in the bets thread. His footwork and shot selection against spin is so much better in this innings than in the pacier conditions he gets in the Shield.

I love how wide KW's bat looks when he plays that straight drive.

 

[hendrix]

Well played Kane. Really need him to hang around and keep his concentration.

 

[BeeGee]

Beautiful shot to bring up his 50.

 

[_Ed_]

Sounds gutsy. Keep going, Kane.

 

[Maximas]

If it's a horses for courses selection, Brownlie should come back and we should go with 4 seamers. Bartin didn't grab his spot and Sodhi is too raw to be the spinner outside of asia.

So is KW imo

 

[Flem274*]

That was classy from KW

Kane

KW is a batsman.

Urgh, for the sake of my heart, Corey should really heed the words of the great Don: "you can't get out if you hit the thing on the ground."

 

[hendrix]

So is KW imo

don't need a spinner if the groundsmen get the conditions right.

 

[Maximas]

KW is a batsman.

I'm aware - but 4 seamers implies he is the only spin option left

 

[hendrix]

Urgh, for the sake of my heart, Corey should really heed the words of the great Don: "you can't get out if you hit the thing on the ground."

yeah, especially with two mean on the boundary there.

Really horrible shot. Got him six but he could've hit it anywhere and along the ground.

 

[Flem274*]

Am I the only one who thought that was going for six as soon as he hit it?

 

[Maximas]

don't need a spinner if the groundsmen get the conditions right.

Ok, but there are gonna be times outside the SC when you need a spinner other than KW, and in any case, I'm a huge advocate for picking specialist spinners on pretty much any surface, but if it's a greentop KW probably would suffice

 

[Flem274*]

Maybe he wanted DV at seven? I havn't gone back to check his post.

Anderson playing so well basically means we have four seamers in the team for that series anyway. Sodhi's earned a decent run in the side.

We don't need one.
