Any ODI batting line up that has both Elliott and Vettori in it's top 6 is kidding itself. "Let me be captain, coach, selector, and I'll make it all good". BS. Vettori's dictatorship is a farce.
I really don't get it either...
Elliott is so ordinary it's not funny... yes, he's done ok in ODIs, but for mine if he doesn't bowl he doesn't make the team... he's half arsed... a chalf decent first class cricketer, that's it
You can add Stewart to that list... FFS, why not Williamson... he's clearly the best talent we've had in a long while, give him the chance, he appeals as the sort that even if he struggles will get through it...
At least if we have a top 6 that looks something like Ryder, McCullum, Guptill, Taylor, Williamson and perhaps Watling (but there has to be someone better) - even when they're struggling and we lose we can say, well they have substantial talent with the bat...
How many times can they say "the batting was disappointing" and then continue with the same numpties...
Vetorri is a very effective 7 or 8 in any cricket... if we don't have better top 6 options, then things are really dire...
