Bit of a weak finish for the NZ XI

Henry is decent with the bat tbh.

 

[straw man]

He bowled the best spell from a NZer in the SA Test series. Just fyi.

Heh, he bowled ok and swung the ball but 'best spell' might be just a weeeee bit of exaggeration.

Despite looking terrible with the bat in those SA tests, if he just goes out and whacks it he could score the odd 50 for us like he now is in limited overs.

I wouldn't be annoyed if he was picked for the England tests. In general I'm going to find it hard to criticise whoever the selectors pick for those spare 2-3 test spots because all our options are just as unlikely to succeed as each other. The cupboard is not looking well stocked.

Because of the announcements made by Hesson regarding McCullum and Guptill, there's only really one spot available (opening partner for Guppy), so I really can't see Munro having a chance of being selected.

Pity the game wasn't televised, how'd it go?

 

[Smudge]

Damn, no more opinions for me.

Not before time either.

Ha!

Don't forget there's a Broom in that cupboard. Surely he deserves a chance in tests.

Sorry my Hesson-filter can't be dislodged - I hear nothing.

I bristle at the suggestion

He'll have to get a handle on some good bowling.

He'll have to get a handle on some good bowling.

Excellent player of spin already though in the Matt Hayden mould; an excellent sweeper.

I've never exaggerated in my life.

Also, Munro is the greatest cricketer to ever come out of SA.

Looks good when he takes the long handle to the bowling. Clean striker.

 

[stumpski]

Can't believe all the Broom puns haven't been done before. Which means they probably have.

 

[NZTailender]

Keen to see how Broom performs on dusty pitches, if he gets a Test run.
