We're all really waiting with bated breath on Hurricane's verdict on Nicholl's collar positioning.

What impressed me about Nicholls was his shot selection. It was only a short innings but he played the right shot to every ball.

And who was the MoM? I thought it should be Henry but maybe Guptill pinched it.

Hope Nicholls is never selected for tests. Defence is not tight enough. That said he can rotate the strike quite well in an ODI setting. I was hoping he would get the chance for a cameo and looked OK in this setting. I just hope it doesn't push him to the front of the queue to replace Baz in 5 day cricket.

Yeah because techniques are set in stone from the first ball they face in First Class or List A cricket...

I don't think Mendis' decline can just be put down to batsmen figuring him out. He certainly seems to have much less control these days - dropping short twice an over at least.

Yeah our reasons probably only apply for his decline in tests. In fact in ODIs I still think he can be very useful. Just had a very bad day I think.

Yeah that's a good chance, although Anderson would be disappointed in the ham-handedness that continues to plague his game and deny him the hundreds that Ronchi racks up for fun.

Ashwin in particular should really make Anderson look like he's fresh off a turnip truck next year.

Nope sorry but Baz looked incredibly young

No worries. Seems odd because that was in 2000 and McCullum didn't debut till 2002 so it wouldn't be an on tour interview. Might've been a few years later, or maybe they just knew McCullum was earmarked for future honours and did one of those up and coming interviews.

Oh yes it was definitely an interview years after the 2000 tournament. Vettori was interviewed too and was much older than he would have been then. I'd say its 8-10 years ago, but its guesswork.
