@Sneakdefreak I'm expecting Nicholls at 5 and CdGh at 6.
The batting looks pretty frail to me and would likely be even worse if Jeetan got a run (unless they left out Southee).
I wouldn't be surprised if Neesham is picked ahead of CdG to strengthen the batting.
It's probably what I would do, but Hesson seems to be pretty consistent in his selections and doesn't seem to be of the (my) opinion that CdGh just got lucky with that 6 wicket bag.
I've got a feeling Timmy is one of the first names written down on the teamsheet.

Chris Gayle and Virhender Sehwag did alot of the above ( that Guptil does ), opened, and averaged 42 and 49 in test cricket respectively.
Virendar Sewag is one of the greatest back foot cutters of a ball ever to play the game. He's core shot is the square cut. He was also fantastic off his hip. He's a mile from Guppy.

The gold standard is still Mark Waugh.

Just making the point that both of them supposedly didn't have the 'technique' for test cricket....

On the plus side, no channel surfing needed during the rugby tonight...
