I wonder if Broom's innings was good enough to give him the #5 batting spot in tests..
Depends who we are playing next, so long as its 130kph trundlers you can pull off the front foot or spinners on non spinning tracks he should be fine.
Otherwise I'd rather see them go with the experient of Neesham there, Watling 6, Anderson (if he ever gets fit) at 7 & Santner at 8. Neesham played one solid innings v India & looked ok v the Aussie quicks.
Tho' in the real world a fit Neesham & Anderson together feels too unlikley
-
Neesh has a lot of class with the bat, and is not troubled by extra pace. I'd be happy to see him give the bowling away and focus on being our 5 in all forms of the game.

Bangles collapsing in a bit of a heap now, 179/7.

Sitting in the pub for beers/cokes with my little men and it wasn't even on the big screens!co had to go and ask them to put it on. I think its fair to say this tour hasn't captured the nations imagination......

Yeah, Aus and SA will be a bigger deal I'm sure. Looking forward to taking the boy to Eden Park for the first ODI vs Aus.
-
Henry's bowling has fallen off a cliff. He's getting spanked on a day everyone else has been very economical.
-
Latham back to being useless in ODIs again..
Guppys hammy seems injured..
Kane looking edgy.. -
As I post that, Kane plays a great shot, and Guptill is off retired hurt..
-
Broom dropped while on 0..
-
Kane with another 50..
Broom currently on 41*..
Broom now has the most runs in the series.. Man of the series?
-
These two going along nicely but a couple of wickets will see them right back in the game given the lack of form of our middle-lower order.
-
50 up for Broom..
Man of the series is in the bag.. -
Broom gone for 97..
-
A good series for Broom..
333 runs in his first 22 innings, and 228 runs in his next 3..
Black Caps need 33 runs to win, and Kane is 19 runs away from a ton. I wonder if Neesham will leave some runs for Kane..
-
Another hiding, good job. The cricinfo summaries have been interesting, cleary written with a Bangladesh bias with the expectation that they'd do a lot better than they have.
2-0 in tests vs Pakistan and now 3-0 vs Bangles in ODIs is a great start to the summer (yes, those games played in Aus don't count....).
-
Broom has been called into the T20 side after Guptill's injury..
In other news, Ross Taylor is killing it in the Super Smash.. Lets hope he'll be picked for the Test series..

On what possible basis would Ross 'would be best BC batsman of his era if KW didn't exist' Taylor be NOT picked???
