My main concern is the keeper position. The top 6 picks itself unless there is a mysterious injury. I don't see how it can be avoided. This is a serious NZ team. Might be tempted to drop Wellington for an extra batsman if Raza is playing. We can't trust the current keepers to score runs.

I thought Welly had mostly shot his bolt in red ball?
We have to persevere with Vinnie until Cremer makes his comeback for 12 months to play WC.

Every time I think this can't get more ridiculous it does.

I dont think cremer returns, he tried in the middle east, and he got raped.

Spent Christmas a few years back with Eskinazi and his family. His dad is a proper old Rhodesian boy living in Melbourne, top lad. Steve is pretty woke and British now, but hell he can bat. Devastating at times at the top for Middlesex in the blast. He either gets 50+ off nothing or less than 5.

I hear Roy has been named as a placeholder and BT will replace him in the squad once his ban ends on Saturday.

Yeah that makes sense. Can’t name a banned guy while he’s technically still banned can you :lol: :lol:

Can’t believe nobody tried to get six months shaved off for good behaviour tbh.

Its been poor timing for ZC with the Sables breaking a 3 decade long drought with a bunch of overseas and white guys. Aside from Prior, Mashawi was the pick for me, it looked like they played him as an impact in the first half at centre when he's actually an 8. He was in beast mode.

Frank has had to resort to posting embarassing 60 year old Rhodesian videos to keep the dream alive.
