Yeah this will be it. Such a low energy match. Boring.

I know it's Eden Park and all, but I think I've seen enough of Tickner and Bennett. Obviously Boult and Lockie will take their places, next matches we should try some other bowlers to see who goes to the WC.

What I find most disappointing is how badly our fielding standards have slipped the last few years.
McCullum would have never stood for this crap.

Bennett should be persisted with. Tickner on the other hand...doesn't seem much to him.

Weird that Hesson should be dropped because his domestic form has also been poor, but then says Kuggeleijn should come in.
Would love for Seiffert to get another chance opening, he was really good there last season. Also want to see Bennett get a few more chances, not easy to come into the international side vs India at Eden Park. Drew a false shot at one stage that got edged for six, which was unfortunately a turning point.

You're acting as if Kane and the selectors are going to drop Munro.
It took him failing the majority of the WC and massive media backlash back home for them to realize it wasn't going to work.
I'm certain he'll be opening in the WC and will do nothing but eat up balls as most teams have worked out how to bowl to him.
Also, if CdG isn't going to bowl, is it worth having him in the team? Or do you consider moving him down to 5 or 6 to hit. I don't trust him to build/guide an innings at 4.

not one of the great games
tickner and bennett should get more chances. they weren't even bad. southee and sodhi have been stinking up our white ball squads for years and keep getting picked. southee put in a good shift today when it didn't matter, which will probably see him getting picked in this format until he's 37.

Tickner's average is close to 50 and his ER is 10 after 5 games.
Bennett bowled the odd good ball but his control has been lacking and his lines and lengths don't seem too threatening. Can't seem to bowl 140s anymore either.

Exactly the same as Kuggeleijn who people want him replaced with ...
Edit: Oh except Tickner's average is 44, not 50 like Kuggeleijn.

Kuggeleijn offers something with the bat and from what I've seen has pace.

5 games is samplesizelol, and bennetts comeback is even less games. both bowlers have the golden combination of domestic results and obvious talent. they're both tall, strong and hit the deck hard at decent pace.
but no doubt they will be dropped and we will continue to pick a leg spinner who can barely bowl on the pitch and a spearhead who trundles in at 125 clicks along the wicket without philander-esque accuracy.

Tbf Ish could be useful in tying batsmen down, the big boundaries will definitely help him.
Bennett outside one ball has not impressed me whatsoever, his back of length on leg stump bowling is not going to pick up wickets. Maybe he bowled this way because of the ground dimensions but it's all he really did consistently when we needed wickets and it clearly was doing nothing other than giving the Indian batsmen an easy single to tick things along.

So do stats matter, or not? You're the one that quoted them. Tickner's domestic record is miles ahead of Kuggeleijn's.

kuggles is fast and when he puts it together he's a pretty good prospect, but frustratingly he's only offering the consistency in pace of shannon gabriel and the awkward truth that 'nz only picks nice guys' is a load of rubbish.*
*i actually have no issue with them picking people with a history, but if we're going to keep spinning the nice guys narrative to hide behind consistent big show stage fright with someone like kuggs in the team then our team narrative can get in the bin even more than it already should.

And how has that translated to the international level?
Krugelin has more upside as a player and offers something we lack - pace.

like i know replying to you is pissing into the wind but you're sounding like the commentators lsd trip the other night when ish melted and bowled a pile of wides.

Don't get me wrong, I think he's been poor in these 2 games. I don't think he should have played the first game, still think he can see him useful in the middle overs in Aus. He's not a genuine wicket taking option but when batsmen go after him he can take wickets with the bigger boundaries giving him more protection.
