***Official*** Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2015

[Hurricane]

Perish the thought, but if one of Kane or Ross were ruled out on the eve of the second test who would you call up?

The Equaliser.

They'd probably go Ronchi and everyone else moves up the order. Yuck.

other options:
- Brownlie
- Papps
- Cachopa

 

[NZTailender]

Brownlie, but very tempted to hand Young or Nicholls their debut.

Cachopa?

 

[Days of Grace]

Michael Bracewell for Williamson?

 

[Hurricane]

Not if I were a selector (re Macewell)

I would move Brendon to 4 and put Corey at 5. Corey not to bowl obviously,

 

[Hurricane]

Also I wouldn't let Ross do a Sachin. Ross would be informed he is batting three in the next test and then I would walk off before he could protest.

 

[Hurricane]

Michael Bracwell looked out of his depth against a rampaging Mitch on Sunday night. If McLeakinruns is too hot for you to handle then you have no chance against Mitchell Starc.

Players who Hurricane has written off as test prospects:
Macewell
Munro
Rutherford
Blundell
Alekz Day
Brownlie
Ronchi
Neesham
CDG
Kitchen
Broom
Nicol

Skeptical of but jury is out until I see more footage
Will Young
Nick Kelly
Matt Taylor
Nicholls

People I am excited about
Ben Smith (once he learns how to defend off the back foot)
Leopard
Clarkson
C.Anderson

Long Shots I am keeping tabs on
Seifert

 

[Hurricane]

Here's some more qns - how much of a difference would Prasad have made in the test?
Chandiguns batted at 4 and kept, what is the highest someone has batted and kept and when was it (yes in tests)?
Who has more promise out of Vithinage sp and Siriwardane sp
Does Sri Lanka have the right team balance
Where should Angelo bat?

 

[Prince EWS]

Chandiguns batted at 4 and kept, what is the highest someone has batted and kept and when was it (yes in tests)?

There have been 392 instances of the wicket keeper opening the batting in Tests:

Baz getting a veeeery nice retirement package from the IPL this season: $1.6 million from his new franchise.

He gets paid what he would of under CSK iirc.

 

[weldone]

$1.6 million for one season or more than one?

[Skyliner]

Brownlie, but very tempted to hang Young or Nicholls their debut.

Equating a BC debut with a public hanging?

Sorry, gallows humour.

Sorry, gallows humour.

Haha, nice spotting

 

[SteveNZ]

Cachopa?

None are even remotely close. One isn't playing, one doesn't qualify and isn't near good enough, and one isn't good enough. In fact all three aren't. So not sure where hendrix is at

 

[Hurricane]

Can we have a Will Young montage Kippax perfectly fine if it is one you have posted before...will give us something to debate.

Sorry should be in domestix

 

[Migara]

Here's some more qns - how much of a difference would Prasad have made in the test? - Massive difference. The final total would have been 50 - 60 runs less and possibly would have taken a session more to be scored
Chandiguns batted at 4 and kept, what is the highest someone has batted and kept and when was it (yes in tests)? - Opening
Who has more promise out of Vithinage sp and Siriwardane sp - Batsman, Vithanage, player - Siriwardane
Does Sri Lanka have the right team balance - No. Herath has to go out and Dilruwan Perera has to come in
Where should Angelo bat? - #5
