So no all rounders then.

Sulieman Benn, Leon Johnson, Kemar Roach

Benn is a very tall no frills spin, who can also hold a bat. I've never heard of Johnson whilst Roach is a young pacer who played against Aus in a 20/20 earlier this year I believe.

No and I've seen Nash bowl and his village. Looks a decent batsman though...

New coach for Windies, any major changes expected?

 

[roseboy64]

Started a thread about this series and the Indian series a while back. Merge.

From what i've heard Merchant will replace Redmond and bat at 3, Williamson will replace Elliott and Flynn will open with How.

Oh wait, you were joking right? Moles won't seriously do that?

 

[Polo23]

No, i'm being dead serious.

Apart from the Flynn one I wouldn't mind that too much I remember reading somewhere on the net that Williamson himself wrote (when he was about 14) "Hi my name is Kane Williamson I am 14 and will be a blackcap and will dominate the cricketing world" I think that he could start young because of his ****yness, would like to hear what JimmyGS says about his attitude.

 

[S.P. Fleming]

Another 4 years for Williamson, maybe 3 if he can prove himself domestically. But from what I have heard the talent is definately there.

Finally some sense.

 

[S.P. Fleming]

Exited about seeing some New Zealand coverage of the cricket actually being televised here in Australia.

I really think that the Windies is a series that we have to win at homeif we are going to start progressing as a test match side. Its an attack that I hope we can get some good runs against in the series.

1-0 to NZ in the Test Series. Despite our crap batting, I can't see us losing to WI on home soil.

4-1 to NZ in the ODI's.
Epic fail in the only loss.

20-20, who cares?

Can't see a draw in early NZ summer

Rekon the ODI's will be boring with easy NZ wins untill WI win the last in a thriller.

 

[Bahnz]

There could easily be a draw if this week's weather is any indication of what things will be like next month. I predict 1-0 to the windies with Chanderpaul being the difference between the sides.

 

[completeNZer]

Oh right by weather not pitch lol
