woodcock has actually done a bit of opening and mostly in the four day game aswell, what was your other forum name ?Kippax said:Surely they won't consider Vincent as a test opener again, will they? When I saw Wellington using Woodcock as a makeshift opener rather than Fleming opting for some practice in the role, I was tempted to rule out the skipper leading from the front in Rigor's absence. Interesting that Sinclair is no longer opening for CD though, so figure that one out.
From memory McMillan is a subscriber of the "get some wrong calls against, me get some fortuitous ones" theory.Oh and McMillan is a cheat, Wilson had him caught and bowled.

Gregg Todd is really improving down here, he can now dominate attacks. Wilson bowled bloody well to.

Are you sure he wasn't a makeshift opener then as well? I know he's one of those players who's been all over the place, but I can't remember him being picked as an opener ahead of Bell or Jones.bryce said:woodcock has actually done a bit of opening and mostly in the four day game aswell
If I said that, it would defeat the purpose of making up a new one!what was your other forum name ?
not sure about his opening credentials before he played first-class cricket, but i'd rather have seen fleming opening aswell besides woodcock hasn't been very successful opening IIRCKippax said:Are you sure he wasn't a makeshift opener then as well?

What I was basically getting at was if Fleming really thought he's odds-on to open in the 5 tests this autumn, I'm surprised he didn't start getting back into that groove for Wellington.
i hope that's trueKippax said:Seeing Sinclair is now back at #3 for CD (despite a 98 at Napier), I presume the BC selectors have given Graeme Barlow the message that they no longer see him as a potential opener.
SM,southern man said:Very stoaked with the line up ND are taking in this game. I think we could be in for another win.
Davis opening partner in the U19 world cup Craig Smith is in the Otago 12 to.
I played against Simon Beare a few years ago - as you say, he's a useful club slogger, but that's pretty much it. At least Marcel McKenzie got an 80 to keep his name in contention.southern man said:Yea, sad isn't it?
Stupid slogging bully beating up on players half his age. But the worest thing about it is that his name will now be at the top of Turners list come the one day game. Why can't he just retire!
I can't believe they have bought back Simon Beare, sure he is a good club player but really does struggle at domestic level.
