Fair call, though former players are always full of BS about their prodigies capabilities I'll have you know.
In any case, I doubt even Greatbatch would want Hay opening with the form he has atm. Too much for the guy.
I will say this for Hay as an opener though, I've seen him play (20/20
) and his footwork is better than most of our concrete boots openers. Has a back foot too. Unfortunately he's a very square of the wicket player and struggles to hit the ball off the pitch block straight, he can do it but his drives down the gorund for four are hit and miss.

Can't Franklin or Gillespie knock the ****s head off?ND hanging onhighly frustrating. Without a breakthrough soon you have to back ND to have held out for the draw thanks to MR James Marshall.
Nah, he'll get out to a part timer I reckon, useless bowler to get a useless batsman.

haha. No way. He has always been like this in domestic cricket and has already proven himself on multiple occassions as a poor bowler economy wise in internationals. I question why they have persisted with him for so long but yeah.2!!!!!!!! Get Gillespie in the Black Caps.
Franklin is only bowling shortesh spells and thats probably what may rule him out of the squad but surely his batting alone is enough.

Taking the piss TBH don't like Gillespie in any of our teams.
None.Chances of Franklin being recalled as a batsman only?
Styris injured, Jeet Raval comes in to make his debut tomorrow vs the Windies. Batting out of position at 6/7.

I am quite impressed at the turnover of centuries this season which i am sure is unlike other seasons. It shows that we have quite a few talented batsmen or our quality of bowlers has gone down or the pitches have now become more batsmen oriented. It is always good when it is hard to pick batsmen.
