Oram + Styris + Broom + Diamanti + Mcglashan -------OUT!!! Southee + Patel + Elliott + Williamson + Hopkins ---------- IN!!!

Nz Choked.

Maybe we should give the Black caps funding to the womens team who are in the finals of their 20/20 competition. Black caps are so over-rated and overpaid. Take some lessons from the womens team guys might learn something.

New Zealand are chokers. They had the one day series against Australia in the palm of their hand before ultimately managing to tie it. They also choked at the 2007 WC and at the 2003 World Cup. They will never win a major tournament or a series involving more than two teams.

Agree. Bye Bye Styris and Oram. They are goners, and should be left out of the SL tour. As much as I like McGlashan, sorry bud. You gotta go.

Redmond 20/20 and ODI's maybe - still a bit iffy on this. I still think Crowe got it right when he said he aint a international player. He got found out playing against a quality attack.

Nathan MCallum is an average bowler - lets be honest here, he aint an attacking bowler, he's a dibbly-dobbly. He cant even bat. He needs to go.

Here;s what I think.

DROP IMMEDIATLEY: Scott Styris Jacob Oram Peter McGlashan Nathan McCallum

yep, must say I am more than disappointed..and Oram looks like he plays, in bad shape!

To Damage # 23 The Aussies were in the pool group with Sri Lanka & the West Indies, both whom have made the semi's , we only beat Ireland & Scotland. Oz's losing form is better than our winning form ! Don't compare our cricket team to their's, Oz have won 4 world cups & been runners up twice, we as yet haven't made one final.

Living in South Africa and hearing their opinion about our cricketers I have to say I agree with what they say. Our guys are too chilled out and don't seem to care.

Oram has been over rated from day 1 same with Franklin. The fact the Franklin rates Oram as his favorite cricketer just shows the attitude of the team. His favorite should be Wassim Akram or Younis for crying out loud! Oram still hasn't proved himself at this level despite years of opportunities, its one thing for a 1o year old kid to idolize him but one of our other bowlers???

Our cricketers seem to be there for a good time and I don't know how to change that other than dropping them all and starting with some young guys who want to kick some ass and be number one.

Martin Guptills name keeps popping up. He genuinely cares and his performance was outstanding. The "big names" who play IPL didnt stand up and probably dont care because they have got their wallets filled with cash.Drop them.Selection is based on performance. Bring back Patel and Elliott they have some fight.

No, the Black Caps' reputation is not in tatters. It's reputation has most likely not changed, but rather been consolidated. That is, their reputation as one of many average teams which has the occasional flash of both brilliance and mediocrity in equal measures. It's been like that for a long time, probably will be for quite a while. We seem to forget that a few good games doesn't make a good team, our memories are incredibly short. All it takes is one win over Australia and they're suddenly awesome, even if they were beaten by Bangladesh a few months before.

Even though we lost, it was nice to see Guptill was genuinly gutted on the sidelines - it shows he actually cares. Seems NZ cricket just can't handle pressure. Taylor wasn't fit and should not have played. Ryder was a big loss too. I like Oram, but he did look out of sorts. Just seems anytime we're in a big game the wheels fall off - the fielders made mistakes, some poor bowling and the batsman lost it (though to be fair, Sri Lanka are a good bowling team). I believe NZ could win the World Cup one day (the real 50 over one) - just need to get it all together at the right time with a fully fit team (and our best players like Bond).
