For test matches, Sinclair certainly deserves another go. I wouldnt have him anywhere near a one-day side though.Blaze said:

I actually think his one day career has hampered his test career. He has been dropped from the test side on the back of a poor one day season once or twice, where he would have been retained had he not played the one day games. It also seems to effect his confidence.Blaze said:
Im of the firm belief that had he not played ODIs at all, he would be firmly entrenched in the NZ test side.

Wouldn't Cairns be the perfect supersub
If we chase then he can come in low with big hitting
If we are defending he can come on the bowl at the death
If Sinclair does get back into the test team he would have to open

I wouldn't ever get back sinclair in the ODI squad. He is just to slow in scoring runs. I wouldn't put How in either, I don't think we have seen enough of him yet whereas Fulton I think would be great. He would replace Hamish Marshall if he carries on his form for the next i dont know 4 matches. Ryder is another good player that could easily make it into the squad. If it was the start of the year I would have got rid of Styris but I think hes getting better. What was wrong with Oram?? why didn't he bowl the other night?

He didnt bowl because he was subbed off... dont ask me why he was subbed off though...Natman20 said:
And there is no way you can get rid of Styris from the OD side. Very under-rated with both bat and ball. I can see a case for him being dropped for the tests, but certainly not the ODIs.

Hey lets stop the bias in these forums. Yeah South Africa had a great game and were good but you didn't need to say that. Just look at the rankings of the ODI teams and you will see that NZ is no ugly proffesional team. That name belongs to the West IndiesLangeveldt said:

I honestly think Butler has a lot of potential. Why in the world does Bracewall hate him?Lyell_Chris said:

Btw disappointed with the loss in the first ODI.. i think it was our win to take.. but S.Africa managed to steal it.. but i think come 2nd ODI we can and should put up an ever better performance!

oram didn't bowl the other night because of injury. i can't tell you what exactly, south africa newspapers report that it was a groin strain, while stuff.co.nz said that it is his back that is the problem but he might bowl on friday, if fit enough.

Considering he was recently dropped (IIRC)...marc71178 said:
All-rounders, to me, can be the perfect super-sub, on the proviso that they are roughly the 12th best player in the side.

Seeing as Sir Redman actually played against Butler on the weekend, I reckon he might knowMacka said:
