The best late Batting Order.

[Mingster]

But he's not any better than that - he certainly wouldn't be wanted any further up the order.

He's used as the nightwatchman for NZ.

He was superb for us in the Pakistan Test at that role before McMillan ran him out.

There's a complete difference in approach between being a nightwatchman and a genuine number 7 or 8.

And I never denyed that.

 

[Mingster]

I never said Tuffey was a 7 or 8.

I said he's probably the best out of a 10 in world cricekt.

Erm, doesn't Dizzy bat at 10?

If so, then I 100% disagree.

 

[Tim]

This is a ridiculous argument....who cares who is the better #10 batsman, their job is to take wickets.

It depend's on the attack.

If McGrath and Magoo are playing then he bats 9.

I love Gillespie's batting it's a shame he does not have a test 50 yet because there are many a worse player with test fiftys.

VERY good defensive player Gillespie better than alot of top order batsman.

But lower-order batsmen are crucial to NZ, especially with our infamous collapses...

Like which Top order batsmen?

 

[Langeveldt]

Like which Top order batsmen?

Vusi Sibanda?

 

[Craig]

Those good enough for international cricket would be a better question.
