Black Caps v India

@No-Quarter Is the Speedway still the preferred place? Traffic around there would be a nightmare.
I remember Jeremy Wells pushing for a cricket venue in Victoria Park but people said it wouldn't work (this was before Hagley Oval worked).
I have no idea TBH, it's a pretty difficult problem to solve. Eden Park is obviously not going to work long-term though, it's a joke that I have basically no international cricket to take my family too, especially now my boy is getting an interest in the game.

@No-Quarter I always favoured developing the old Avondale Racecourse into a test cricket venue, making it home to Suburbs New Lynn and Auckland Cricket in the process. But that will be turned into residential/commercial property when it's finally sold.

Due to be sold in next couple of years too

Munro's T20 record is insane. 33 average at a 162(!!) SR with 3 tons. This is his forte.

Handy start.

Why isnt Seifert an ODI opener option?
I think he's sort of Munro Junior. Or Guppy as a test player.
In T20, you can come out and pretty much swing at everything. In ODIs, you've got to be a bit more circumspect and the consequences of getting out are far higher.
Weird thing is - if Munro had the same stats in ODIs as he does in T20, I'd say go with him. Average of 33 with a strike rate of 161. Somehow, the psychology is different.
Comms were saying that the bowlers have different strategies. But, if that's the case why don't they employ the same ODI strategies to Munro in T20s?
-
@Chris-B I reckon he's worth a go somewhere in the lineup. Even if you wanted to open with Latham and have this fella further down the order. Black Caps ODI team badly need batting help. I see he has a first class average of 37 with 4 centuries.
-
@KiwiMurph He can certainly bat and I'd say he's well in the mix for the reserves for the CWC.
You can basically pick your first choice XI - and then balance suggests you pick one reserve seamer, spinner, keeper and batsman.
But, they could try to open more options by making Nicholls their reserve keeper - especially, because Seifert is also definitely not great with the gloves.
-
An hour ago this fella Seifert was being overlooked for the odi squad by nearly all of us here, and justifiably so.
He's still not good enough for the one day team, but that was a nice wee chapter in his development. He's got the game so we know to keep giving him resources, but no need to rush him in as a cure all for our recent weak batting performances.
Needs lots of work on his keeping too as I recall
-
Watched a lot of Seifert for ND, he is a very good keeper.
I rate Watling and Blundell higher but nobody else. -
-
Need CDG and Rosco to finish strong here.

This is such a shit collapse after a really good start.
Kuggeleijn is finishing strong. Going to be one hell of a run chase if India get close.
