Crowe is by far a better batsman, but I think bar that average, Astle's record is better.

Let me rephrase, I think Astle is our most successful ODI batsman ever.

Yes. You may dislike Astle's style of batting - as I said, Astle is our most successful ODI batsman ever.

He also has 10 scores in the 90's.

Long batting line up for NZ today. We need the runs though! Kyle has been out for a while, and if he can't bowl his overs, Astle and Styris need to make up some more as you would expect Bond, Vettori and Patel to bowl out. Maybe Taylor will get a bowl today?!

Im not convinced about Marshall as deep as 6 or 7. I think he's better off around 5.
But there is a huge log-jam right now with our batting, it's not going to be easy to sort out a lineup that will keep everyone happy.

The West Indies fielding is terrible. Even if they get their batting & bowling right by the World Cup, they've still got to sort this fielding out or they just aren't going to win the tight games.

Typically Fleming gives up his wicket with a soft dismissal but he's given us a good start.

106/1.

I know you guys probably get this all the time, but I'm in aus and board at work, is there a website doing audio of this series and test matches?, or am I not allowed to ask that question?

if you sign up to the 431 club you can get video highlights of every boundary, wicket and key moments for every match.

But I don't think you can get LIVE audio or video unfortunately.
