WTF! What games have you been watching? Aside from bowling quick he's done sweet FA. He got a couple of easy wickets in the last ODI but nothing else. He's taken only 11 wickets at 45 in 14 matches!

Milne's figures this season compare favourably with any bowler besides Henry. 9 wickets in 7 matches at 32 apiece. That's with about 4 dropped chances off his bowling during the UAE ODI series. He's also got the best economy rate of any NZ pace bowler this season at 4.7 rpo. And yes he swings the ball, go back and check his dismissal of Karunaratne in the first ODI if you don't believe me.

Yet you admit Henry has been bowling better ...

I wanted both Milne & Henry as well. Boult & Mills was always the battle for the last spot, and I would have gone with Mills in the end based on the fact he's Kyle Mills.

In hindsight, I have been impressed with Boult...... And Doull saying the same thing as we speak.

If it's between Milne and Henry who would you pick?

It would depend on what roll they would be playing in the side. For a new ball bowler I would go Henry every time. But in flat conditions for a bowler coming on first change and expected to do a lot more work in the middle and later overs, it'd be a much tougher call.

Still it's a redundant question, because this isn't between Milne and Henry, it's between Milne, Henry, Mills, Southee, Mitch and Boult. And I would probably have both Henry and Milne in my first choice XI.

Hello WC opening partnership, a little slow for my liking but suitably solid given what is to come afterwards, ultimately what they were going for when Karunaratne was selected so it seems the top order dasher idea has been given up on for now

Is Taylor looking half asleep these days, or is it just a coincidental number of things happening of late that makes it appear that way?
