@KiwiPie okay, not bad for a couple of shies at the stumps
It's infuriating not knowing which is wrong
as far as i can tell
1
2
3 Kane
4 Rosco
5 Ryder
6 Coney
7 Cairns
8 Dan
9 Smith
10
11meaning i am off with my openers and the bunnies? Or is it Coney at 6 that's out? I am massively confident in Cairns at 7
OK to speed things up here - all those 7 are the correct choices.

I will suck at this but...
- Latham
- Wright
- Williamson
- Taylor
- Rutherford (K)
- McCullum
- Watling
- Hadlee
- Southee
- Vettorri
- Boult
Without telling who or position, can you just say how may are correct (assuming I have at least 1 correct)
I always do these and then when I see others reply, I'm like, Of Course!!!!
Seriously ?
I expect better posts from you Hooroo

Of all the qualifying players, Rutherford (K) is behind Ryder, Nicholls, Baz, McMillan, Astle and Fleming. But he is ahead of Ross Taylor ..

As Chris Martin once sang "Nobody said it was easyyyyyyy"

If it's not Richardson as an opener, then it's probably Turner and Sutcliffe - unless it is someone even older - but I doubt CSD would qualify.
Tailenders could be anyone, but probably people who often batted higher - how about Lance Cairns and Martin Snedden?
Turner
Sutcliffe
The Mariner 7

SneddenCorrect thinking. Openers are done - just 10 and 11 to go and neither has been mentioned so far.

I was trying to work out how Dempster missed out as one of the openers, but then I see he batted #4 in the last of his 10 tests.

Hmm would tuffey or pocock happen to have a decent 10 or 11 average?

@Cyclops said in New Zealand v Bangladesh Test #2:
It wasn't the two Blairs (Hartland and Pocock) was it? Not sure if they played enough games though. They were bad enough that Bryan Young was considered a reliable opener for a period though.
Pocock is a YES - Hartland is poised on 9 games though with the outstanding average of 16.83
-
For openers would the guy who lost a tooth in England be a contender? Cant recall his name right now

Sorry it isn't them

Trevor Franklin then? I remember being shocked by his average given the reverence that he and John Wright get as an opening pair (not that it's undeserved, shows how much the game has changed, and probably also how much our standards have risen)

Daniel Flynn? Not sure if he opened the batting much, think he played more at 3 and 5.

Good call. Franklin it is. So just a 10 and 11 to name. Neither of them played this century if that helps ....

What about Dion Nash at 10?
Edit: maybe Simon '97 test wickets' Doull at 11?

I suspect Hartland won't get to add to that tally of 9 games.
