    I like the look of both sides you have put up there, although the top of the order in the test side is always a bit iffy. Hopefully Flynn settles in at 3 and has a good series.

    Similarly in the ODI series I hope Styris is okay and they don’t have to resort to Elliott, who has shown himself to be well short of international standard. I like your inclusion of Gillespie, he has a lot of heart and won’t take a backward step in Australia.

    One thing – is there any chance the left-armer who got Gayle out in his T20 debut will be in the ODI squad? Apologies, I can’t recall his name.

    i dont think you can have HOW in the team hes way to out of form i’d put REDMOND back in the test team, ORAM wont play the tests hes a pussy i like ELLIOT to take that spot, as for the odi squad again i like ELLIOT over STYRIS or even drop FLYNN he seems to struggle to score quick runs and rotate strike which is what you need down the order, otherwise i agree totally with your teams heres hoping for a good end to the summer!!

    1 player is really missing out of the Test and ODI’s.The NZ Board should include Shane Bond as he is a nice bowler.
