Blackcaps v Sri Lanka

@Cyclops said in Blackcaps v Sri Lanka:
Yeah all this ODI stuff confused me and I thought I'd got confused and it was just a one off test.
I don't think there's a replacement in the squad for Nicholls since Young was released, so I think he plays.
Bracewell is probably straight in for Wags.
No just a bog standard “we’re not in the big three so get fucked” two test series.
Would it kill international cricket to have given us a third test against England and then three against SL ?

Hoping D Bracewell plays today, for Wagner.
Apparently it was mentioned at time by NZC that he was unavailable, due to injury, at time they named the 13 man squad for England series - when Duffy and Kuggeleijn came in to the squad (although I didn't catch this). Therefore I have hope that unsteady Steady has him ranked ahead of Kuggeleijn.
Not ideal in terms of succession planning, as he is in that age range between Southee and Henry. But he is only 15 months older than Kuggeleijn, so .......
Got to make do with what we have. Could get 2 or 3 years out of him yet (or less if a domestic youngster can string more than 2 games together).

If he bowls half as well as that I think we’ll all be pleased

I still remember that one. Was at work with half a dozen other cricket tragics and we all went nuts when we got the last wicket.
