kiwi team questions

1. should stephen fleming keep batting top order?
2. should he stay captain until his retirement?
3. does vettori look like he will be a good permanent captain?
4. list some players that should be in or out

I totally agree! well...you can kind of see I am a vettori fan. he has 365 first
class wickets(which you can also see)

Fleming can do better but A 6 or 7 is good enough rating or me. He likes to go across the line too much at times.

didn't he recently get like 260 or something?

As for his captaincy, its great but under the new coach, it has been a bit fallen back, I can't remember the coach name... oh yeah, Bracewell. Bracewell likes to be an authorian leader I heard.

Maybe he doesn't have the knack an talent for being a coach know, does he?

he has been captain for about 8 games and I think he won half of them, when NZ  beat the world record for chasing down runs in a odi vettori was batting and captain! that was against aussie too!

He meant back then in the Chappel/Hadlee series thing.

1. Yes
2. No
3. Yes
4. IN:Jamie How,Darryl Tuffey,Lou Vincent  OUT:James Marshall

I was at that match

1. Yes
2.Yes
3. Im not really sure yet I (aka leading spinner+low order batting+captaincy thats got to be hard)
4. No one really, mayb Lou Vincent and in with papps

Originally posted by DRAVID FAN Vincent's form has been really bad recently, don't you think.

He's been in good form in county cricket, thats got to count for something.
Its just he's really aggresive, he's never really out of form, just plays stupid shots.
Someone else i thought of as should be in the team is matthew sinclair, perhaps for marshall just to keep him aware he isn't garenteed a place in the team.
Dont want Jamie How in, not quite ready for international cricket.

I like Vincent, and agree with NZ Fast about how he just plays stupid shots.  I'm skeptical about Marshall after his appalling season last year, but apparently he did have a good County Cricket season.  I'm hoping we get to see a Vettori/Patel tandem in the ICC Championship.  

I'd also like to see Ross Taylor get a bit of a shot this year.

An off-spinner from India who plays for New Zealand,Ross Taylor is an exciting young all-rounder who really looks like a kiwi more into Rugby then Cricket.

Originally posted by 70_degree_spin I think that Chris Martin is poor and should be nowhere near the NZ team coz he never seems to bowl well when I watch him.

Then don't watch him bowl.

Jeetan Patel.  Here is what Cricinfo say about him...

Jeetan Patel made his debut for Wellington in 2000, taking 5 for 145, and his first season for them was a triumph. After making his debut for New Zealand against Zimbabwe in 2005, he bowled superbly in his first outing on home soil when he took 2 for 23 to stifle Sri Lanka in January 2006, earning him the Man-of-the-Match award. A bowler with a similar loop and drift, reminiscent of Daniel Vettori at the same age, his ability to bowl at the death has already won New Zealand a one-day match. He was rewarded in April with his debut Test against South Africa, and was subsequently named in New Zealand's final squad of 14 for October's Champions Trophy

Originally posted by Clobber would you rather he was bowling pies or making more Coldplay records tbh?

I didn't get what you mean, but I don't want to waste you time wanting to know. Just tell be me if it's good for that Patelguy or not.
