Agreed, but at 36 I doubt the selectors will go near him. Real shame.

 

[Howsie]

Ben Wheeler on a hat trick first over of the day.

 

[Athlai]

 

[Jarquis]

Gazza just came.

 

[Bahnz]

Bhupinder singh picking up a few wickets, will be interesting to see if Todd Astle is more effective in the last innings.

Wheeler is such a ****. ET to see us through.

 

[Athlai]

Auckland to chase this if Astle doesn't take wickets.

 

[Bahnz]

Broom making big runs. How long until the selectors start playing around with our batting order to squeeze him in the national side.

Williamson to move to number 3 after a year leaving the #6 berth wide open.

Cachopa with his first runs in FC cricket, get him in the Test team!

But seriously pretty rare to see a young bloke keeping wicket and opening on debut.

 

[Bahnz]

ET out, this one looks all over. Hope Wheeler as an opportunity to come back and grab his 10th.

Hopefully soon, although imo they don't have to change the order at all, just play Broom at three. It's such a joke that players like Guptill and Watling are batting in the middle order while someone like Broom continues to get overlooked.

 

[Athlai]

Glad to see Austin-Smellie is well enough to bat.

When Subtill was batting 6 you just had to feel Broom was absolutely robbed of his spot.

Broom's never been a number 3, and putting him up there would likely just lead to him getting smashed, and destroying his confidence. Would rather move one of either Taylor/Ryder up there temporarily than a new guy who's already had his problems at the international level.

 

[Athlai]

Jono!

Jono.

Broom needs to get his 200 quickly so they can declare IMO.

 

[NZTailender]

Hmm public opinion seems to be back with Broom now. Glad to see.

 

[Athlai]

Just don't let him play ODIs.

Yeah that's probably fair enough. My school of thinking though is why move guys around who are playing well to accommodate a new player.
