On the subject of another Colin born in SA.
How has Munro not got more of a look in at test level with the first class stats he has ?
Going along nicely so far...
His technique is awful

That catch attempt would embarrass a B-Grade club player

Yeah, I reckon CdG is the best all rounder that we have. His bowling (from my eye test) is far superior to Corey and Neesh, and his batting is way better Doug.
In saying that, I would like to see Neesh in the test team batting at 6. I reckon he has the potential to average 40+ as a batsman in tests, and can roll the arm a bit.
Corey's takes more wickets but more expensive too. He has a real knack for picking up key wickets at important moments. His batting is miles ahead, as is Neesham's.
Neesham probably the best bat of the current crop of all rounders but has had issues his head falling away in his delivery that makes his line a bit inconsistent. Didn't see him bowling on the 3rd so not sure how much his action has improved in his period away from the team.

Looking at the schedule Is there a reason why the Bay Oval has 4 of the 6 ODIs this summer?

I had to do a quick stat check..
Maybe its because I'm on my phone, but CdG has a better strike rate than Corey. CdG has a (slightly) better batting average as well.
CdG can bowl more overs as well. Always worried that Corey and Neesh will break down if they are required to bowl more than 10 overs. -

Anderson can bowl at the death. Neesham and CDG can''t. That is a real benefit if you are picking Henry.

Who is this seifort and why is he in the team?

@mariner4life said in Cricket - NZ vs Sri Lanka:

Wicket-keeper. Development pick with an eye to the world cup as the selectors want a third WK in case Latham or Watling break down.

Watling won't go to the World Cup. Seifert and Blundell are fighting for one spot.

I think it is either Seifert as reserve keeper or Nicholls. I don't Blundell has much chance and Watling must be close zero chance.
-
Don't think Nicholls has been wicketkeeper but I would like to see him open for the BCs because he's not useful batting at 6 (when Latham is in the side).
I'm watching these ODIs not so much for the result but to see who will make the CWC 15-man squad (most of the team is written in stone but there are still spots up for grabs). Right now I'm probably going Guptill, Nicholls, Williamson, Taylor, Latham (wk), Neesham, CdG, Santner, Henry, Southee, Boult with the reserves being Sodhi, Munro, Seifret and which ever pace bowler is in form come May.
