Cairns has retired from Test cricket.
Harry is a ODI specialist.
Macca is for some weird reason seen as a ODI specialist. (although he averages under 30 in ODI's and over 40 in tests.

Pretty much because McMillian has been CRAP as of late, his average at the start of his career was in the mid forties and has been going downhill ever since.........

NZL are in for a hard time over there. Not having Bond on those pitches leaves our new ball attack lacking any teeth what-so-ever.

God I miss Bond..........

Yeah, who doesn't... we got 2 good years out of him, damn was he good!

World cup 2003, he took 6-23 against Aus... but guess what, apart from him and flem, the rest of the team played ****! haha what a suprise. Aus were 7-80 and it was looking good for us... until bichel and bevan took it away from us, they made about 210 that day to NZ's 150 odd

I personally cant see us winning or even come close too drawing any of the tests

Hopefully the Rumours about Bond and the ODI's are true
 
Here ya go guys the NZ squad
NZ Squad to play Australia
New Zealand squad: Mark Richardson, Mathew Sinclair, Stephen Fleming (capt), Scott Styris, Nathan Astle, Hamish Marshall, Jacob Oram, Brendan McCullum (wk), Daniel Vettori, James Franklin

Last time I checked the New South Wales Blues seemed to be giving the New Zealanders a hell of alot of trouble.

NZ 213
NSW 278-8

End of Day 2
We have a crap bowling lineup too, our attack is nothing without Bond
 
We are starting to see the real Hamish Marshall now,the Hamish Marshall that is average in domestic cricket. He will get found out big time in Australia

Lou Vincent would of been a better choice, his back foot style is more suited to the fast bouncy tracks in australia, he proved that last tour in Aus

Good to see Mathew Sinclair in form, hopefully he kicks on and becomes a world class batsmen

And surely Craig McMillans internatinal career is over
