Overall I think a good side,with several players out injured.I still do not agree with Oram being a automatic selection.What with his injuries,I believe he should have to prove himself again.
Watling is a great choice,he does have a big future all forms.
You read it here,,that N.McCullum should replace Patel in the One Day side.Patel is a Test bowler,and McCullum strengthens the batting.
Great to see Styrus back in favour.
So overall its about right,but 5 from Northern??
Just another Blogtown NZ weblog
A pretty standard team (except for one). I think dropping Patel is a bit harsh. People say that McCullum will help batting but surely with a team that includes so many allrounders that surely isn’t a major issue. On Waitling: He looks a good young player but you can’t help but notice the Northernization of the team! I notice the antispam word is Ranfurly. Stiff chance Southland of winning it despite there great season so guess what; a summer with the Shield in Canterbury.. yawn!
Patel is a test player!!!!
Hello, I think its great to see Watling givin a go at the top level. Sad for Patel, I hope Oram keeps fit for one dayers and 20/20.
Yes its great Watling.No I repeat..Patel IS a test player.And its wrong to select Oram,he should have to reprove himself at this level.eg Styrus,Bond,Tuffey,Franklin.Why is he treated differant??
