All-Time New Zealand XIs - A re-run

[Fuller Pilch]

Why pick 4 new ball seamers when we have one of the world's best old ball seamers available? Madness

 

[Howsie]

Surely Cowie was a weapon with the old ball too?

Personally think Wagner was better than Boult anyways and a gun change bowler.

Vettori

Big fax, do we want some bummy ass spinner to carve up Zimbabwe or Bangladesh or bravely grind out 5/300 while we get boshed by Australia, or do we want a CERTIFIED MATCH WINNER

Ajaz is Great and all, but it will be a bit funny to have a player in New Zealand All Time XI, who doesn't have a single wicket in New Zealand.

Barry Richards made the SA Xi and he doesn't have a single run in any country bar SA. So it's fair enough ig.

I also wrote Santner first but deleted it like a coward

Wait Ajaz?

 

[thierry henry]

Yeah Dipak had his shortcomings as a player, but his efforts with the new ball in WC92 probably just about get him into the all-time test team

This is the fiddliest part because of the Vettori and allrounder issue. Reid could bowl both pace and spin, so can sneak in a better pacer than Vettori was a spinner, or continue Wagner is our spinner meme.

Reid 7
Wagner is our spinner
Bond

Almost voted for Bruce Taylor over Bond.

 

[Bahnz]

I know Reid could bowl spin, but as I understand it he was primarily a medium pacer, who would sometimes switch to offies on a damp pitch. Really don't think you can opt for him as the spinner.
