That dismissal sums up our batting.
Na I would give him the WI series.I drop him for the Windies series in a heartbeat
Well after the pasting Lee has copped in this thread, I would expect a 7 wicket haul.
Just an LU thing.

Bell's been tried more than enough times and has failed on most occasions.Bell and MacIntosh are both much better options, and Watling probably too

McIntosh I feel is next in line but consistency is a key for him. Being a left-hander also helps his cause.
BJ Watling wouldn't come close to a test spot atm. If we are considering him, then we are in more trouble than I thought.
2 down 5 to go lol
pffft to you too JJ.

Yes he does but he's played enough times at international level to prove himself and he hasn't taken that chance.Maybe, but at least Bell has a very good first class record.
Drop the fat f**k too - FFS, are we that stupid, really???
I agree that our batting is in dire straights atm but surely BJ Watling isn't next in line.I think you're underestimating how much trouble we are in... we couldn't score runs against Bangladesh... apparently not a single batsmen in our lineup can bat a session reliably (for most of them half an hour without a ridiculous shot would be pretty good)

And yes, our batting is that stupid.

And as for our batsmen batting long periods of time, that will never happen because we don't have a Richardson type player who can leave countless amount of balls outside the off stump.
McIntosh has a big oppotunity against the WI in a 3 dayer. If he scores big there, he will come back into recognition.He's scored two centuries - I doubt that Redmond will ever get one. He's not really been given an extended chance either.
I'm no Bell fan, but surely being the dominant bat at first class level, and with MacIntosh the only player that consistently bats for long periods should count???
Our batting is a complete and utter joke to be honest. I like How, but he's been as bad as anyone - at the moment I'd seriously be tempted to ditch everyone bar Flynn and Taylor, and never let McCullum bat in the top 6 again. If the bowlers had gone this poorly, they'd be out in flash
Lee's a great odi bowler, and a pretty mediocre test bowler - always has been and always will be... you could have Chris Martin and not lose anything (apart from occasional runs with the bat)
Too many stroke makers around in NZ cricket who struggle to bat long periods of time as you said earlier.Why don't we have a Richardson type player??
