Philander got the 5fer before first drinks, New Zealand would be lucky to last until lunch at the rate they're going

What the hell is Franklin doing there???? He can't bowl much anymore and he was only a handy bat at best.

A few things:

* McCullum and Hession-cover are unmitigated political morons. Thats a bowl first pitch every day of the week. Moving a mile off the wicket off full lengths, and bouncing all over the joint. Batting first was a brainless, moronic decision.
* McCullum, Hession-cover and lawnbowler boy can bugger off to the outback bush somewhere for the continued selection of one James Franklin. This guy bowls absolute pies, and has never performed with the bat (aside from one innings 5 years ago).
* Punt Buchanan, bring back Wright.
* Trent Boult would be having a field day on that pitch.
* Absolutely world class bowling from Philander. Give that lad a green top and he'll make you look foolish. New Zealand did that, and he made them look foolish.

Some of the dopiest cricket I've ever, ever seen. Does Kenya want its coach back? What utter tripe.

Pretty much because theres no Ryder, Vettori or Taylor
So???? Surely there has to be a better option than him???? He just offers absolutely nothing. And gotta agree why would you be batting first on this and against a top quality attack???

Theres not really. Theres some younger guys they could have taken a punt on I guess but they would have just been lambs to the slaughter.
