ATM I'd say he'd be 2nd in line behind Papps & ahead of McIntosh......
but who knows what could happen in the RSA series if some of the current squad members continue to play poorly......
we definately need some competition for places throughout the batting lineup - not just in the top order....

Papps and Fulton will go to England. Thing that will go in Papps favour is that he can keep just in case Hart gets injured.anzac said:
My squad to England:
Richardson, Fulton, Papps, McIntosh, Astle, Styris, Fleming, McMillan, Cairns, McCullum, Hart, Vettori, Bruce Martin (a bit of a surprise), Tuffey, Oram, Bond (if fit or Michael Mason) Butler.
Andre Adams can be on standby. McCullum would be my back up just in case. Jamie How might be on standby as well along with Nicol and Ryder.
Richardson, Astle, Fleming, Styris, McMillan, Tuffey, Vettori, Hart, Cairns, Oram and Bond (if fit) are the only certainies to go to England.

Jeff Wilson today scored 86 off 67 balls for Otago, any chance he could be a chnce sometime this tour.

Papps is 41* against Otago..if he notches up a good score in this match then if Cumming fails at Christchurch, there is sure to be a change.
Wilson also opened the bowling and has figures of 6 overs for 13 runs, which also included 3 maidens...and this has come despite the fact that he's been out injured for more than a month.
The acid is really going on a couple of players now and im sure the NZ players will be well aware of how these players are doing.

Despite the fact that the pitch was a belter..Cairns was still disappointing conceeding 54 runs of 9 overs.
Other than that, and yet another failure from Cumming...NZ have come back very strongly. Let's not forget that NZ are missing their best ODI batsman & their best ODI bowler currently and for a country like NZ short on talent it's difficult to replace it.
I can't believe though that Papps hasn't been called up, and the reason for dropping Butler was bizarre "We think the boundries are too small for him", well if I was Butler i'd be storming into the selectors office and demanding answers because thats about as good as a kick in the guts.
Fleming crashes the winning runs and NZ win very easily 259/3 with 4 overs to spare. Similar type of match to Queenstown, with the winner/loser reversed.

That's probably the worst reason for someone being dropped ever. It really is ridiculous, especially since Cairns has been bowling much worse than Butler.
Shoaib was still the pick of the bowlers and only really got hit around in his second last over. Even when it was clear NZ were going to win Shoaib still gave us entertainment with his little battle with McMillan, great stuff.
Good ton for Fleming though I find it weird he's only made 5 in his career. A few times he should of pushed on.

What's McIntosh like as a player? Pretty aggressive?
Not picking Butler because the grounds are too small so will that mean Shoaib will not play? I dont think so.
Inzi should look at a 6th bowler as it is in New Zealand's advantage as there is no geniune bowling options out of Shoaib, Sami, Shoaib Malik, Ahzar and Abdur.
