Ridiculous idea, I know.
With any 'luck' it'll be DougehProbably call up SK
From the detailed scoreboard: " Central Stags substituted TA Findlay for BG Randell (Concussion) "I wonder if Randall: "Retired Not Out" - is related to this Ferguson news?
Seemed to be 2 batsmen just walking off at the scheduled break.
It's labelled as concussion at the bottom.I wonder if Randall: "Retired Not Out" - is related to this Ferguson news?

I mean they said they'd announce a replacement tomorrow morning so we'll seeWill they even replace Ferguson? He was only going to be in the squad for the 1st ODI with Lister coming in for games 2 & 3. Lister will probably now be in the squad for all 3. Otherwise Duffy perhaps?
YesAssuming Sears is injured yeah?
FFS we need a royal commission inquiry into why every NZ fast bowler who can pump it >145 clicks is so damn brittle.
I reckon it's small sample size. Aussie quicks get injured all the time but there's always another **** waiting in line so you naturally end up finding a few who can last a test match.FFS we need a royal commission inquiry into why every NZ fast bowler who can pump it >145 clicks is so damn brittle.
Yes they have a higher sample but the likes of Cummins (after an injury prone start), Starc, Johnson, & Lee to name a few managed to stay on the park relatively regularly compared to our 145+ guys such as Bond, Gillespie, Milne, Fergo, and now Sears who all seem to be injured more than being available.I reckon it's small sample size.

Maybe your guys physio/player management system isn't as advanced as ours (Australia's)? It wasn't until Cummins that we really figures out how to manage our Quicks properly, back in the day when Lillee was playing if a quick got injured they would just pick someone else and leave it up to the players to get themselves fit. I remember jarod Kimber always talking about how NZ'S domestic system only professionalized to the point where players could be full time cricketers in the early 2010's. Maybe the physio side if things hasn't caught up yet?
