Uncapped Ferguson in NZ squad for Chappell-Hadlee Trophy
Auckland fast bowler Lockie Ferguson was rewarded for a bright start to the domestic season with a place in New Zealand's 14-man squad for the ODI series against Australia next month
I'm interested to see this Lockie Ferguson at some point. Apparently he's been clocked at ~155 kmh and is picked for the Adam Milne role. But I'm guessing our opening XI will be something like:
Latham, Guptill, Williamson, Nicholls, Munro, de Grandhomme, Watling, Santner, Southee, Henry, Boult

Anyone know why Munro wasn't in India?
-
because he's shit?

And yes I can't wait for this. Gonna fire up the smoker, get a Pork Shoulder slow-cooking & relax in front of the TV with a 6 pack. Bring on the summer of cricket!

We all wrote him off and then he suddenly kicked ass for a little while, due to us writing him off. More of a T20 specialist I guess but I'd like to see him given more of a go in the ODIs.

@No-Quarter his record is all sorts of ordinary
That middle order looks rubbish. Our best hope might be if Aus decide to rest their two good bowlers.
-
@mariner4life They might put some thought into batting BJ at 4 - seems to me he's better suited playing an accumulating role there than at 7?
Or they could have Latham keep and play Neesham.
In any case, 4,5,6 look problematic if 1,2,3 don't score plenty.

Rosco is a huge loss given his ability to navigate the middle overs. BJ seems like a very reasonable option to cover that.

FFS Aussie, it's "only New Zealand". Great chance to rest a few players you'd think...

at last inspection he was a truly horrible player of spin. good eye though, and can smash a ball.
