This may be true, but that makes it all the more frustrating when he repeatedly plays daft shots to get out for low scores. The fact that he now has passed 30 only twice after 17 games is deeply concerning. At least even Brownlie and Devcich have managed to get some decent starts in their aborted careers so far.Who would you prefer? There doesn't seem to be anyone else and Latham has the look of a quality batsman.
I could perhaps see Munro at 5 but it feels like a bit too much icing.
You were right ftr. NZ slang?
Could be an amalgamationEdit: Most likely candidate is tutu - macron over the second u. It kinda means to be cheeky.
There are a few other candidates though. E.g. Titoi - to masturbate.
Probably a bit of an amalgamation.
Fair.should have picked watling

He's pretty good at rotating the strike.Unless he's in after 40 overs the role of the #5 is to rotate the strike and pick up as many twos as he can to set the game up imo.
Latham isn't really a nurdler, which is why he should open if he plays.
I like Corey at 5, based on playing on smaller NZ grounds. If we were playing in Australia, I might have a bit more love for a guy like Latham. As it is, I'm happy with a guy who can get off strike, and can make up for the times he doesn't by accessing the boundary on smaller grounds. He wouldn't have that leeway at the G, Gabba, Perth etc.Who would you prefer? There doesn't seem to be anyone else and Latham has the look of a quality batsman.

Hard to see Boult climbing much higher, but KW could conceivably challenge for No. 1 in a few years.KW and Boult both up to number 6 in the batting and bowling rankings.
Hehe, I saw that too, I think it was a less than subtle gesture to show that McCullum doesn't think that much of Senanayake's reformed action.Any ideas what Brendan McCullum was saying to Sennanayake when he was out stumped? He seemed to also gesture with his hand.
pretty rubbish thing to do, tbh.Hehe, I saw that too, I think it was a less than subtle gesture to show that McCullum doesn't think that much of Senanayake's reformed action.
It's a shame Broom never really secured that spot.Who would you prefer? There doesn't seem to be anyone else and Latham has the look of a quality batsman.

Ridiculous post.Better than no cake and no icing though isn't it? Latham hasn't proved to be either in his ODI career to date, so yes, I'd much rather Munro's 'icing' if it were my choice.
The problem is we're stuck with Latham now which really is rather depressing, and even more so if he ends up anywhere in the final XI come the WC proper.
Far and away our worst selection & I would have been a lot more inquisitive with Edgar than Doull was in that interview.
