NZ Squad named

So Mills is injured again?

Yeah, gone for 6 months to a year.

Harris is better than Tuffey, it's not like you have to play him unless someone gets injured. He can cover the batting and partly the bowling.

 

[jamesgould]

My worry about Tuffey is that even when he was a top bowler in peak form, he has never done well overseas.

Harris' average is very good considering he often came in down the order and would slog at the end, more often than not getting out. His strike rate may be low, but consider the amount of times he came in at 50/5 and had to rebuild the innings. He often didn't hit out for 30 balls because it was vital that we batted the full 50 overs!!!

That's just not the case:
1. He has a large number of not outs.
2. His strike rate is compelling evidence that if he was in during the slog (which he often was) he was very poor at it.

 

[JJ]

for the record - 62 not outs from 213 innings - a HUGE number... plus the low (66.5) strike rate


But hey, let's not let what really happened get in the way of your rose coloured recollection :roll:

 

[JJ]

and if he was in at 50/5 so often, he was miserable at that too given the 1 century (at the World Cup when Turner put him in at #4 from memory) and just 16 50's ...

FFS, Harris' batting in ODIs is a complete myth

Sad loss for the Kiwi's regarding Mills IMO he's a very good one day bowler, And handy with the bat as well.

 

[JJ]

Mills is a huge loss - but apparently he was in so much discomfort he couldn't sleep

 

[hineyrulz]

What's the problem with him?

 

[JJ]

I think the Patella tendon is gone - have to check though.

 

[Sanchez]

disappointed harris didnt get picked

There's a lot brain power there. Did anyone else see that Rebecca Loos? lol

Instead of Tuffey (though if Mills was fit, it would be instead of Mason), i would have taken either Sinclair, How, Ryder, one of the Marshalls, or Harris.
