Yeah, nah. What about our batting foundation which is KW?I'd say Baz for us. Everyone else weakens a position or two, losing Baz would drag down the entire squad.
Toss up between he and Mathews atm isn't it? I say that mainly because Mathews white-ball bowling has been so consistently tight.Losing Sanga would kill us one feels
Indeed, but losing the experience and class of Sanga would hurt more I think, we aren't short of bowling options even without MatthewsToss up between he and Mathews atm isn't it? I say that mainly because Mathews white-ball bowling has been so consistently tight.
I'm going with Athers on this one. I don't think there's many captains who would've kept their foot on the opposition's throat the way he did against Australia.Yeah, nah. What about our batting foundation which is KW?
You don't think the team could still keep fueled from McCullum's juices at this stage of the tournament, like as a tribute to him?
KW did skipper the side to a ODI series win recently remember.
Nope, dunno why it would be reactionary when he is clearly our best white ball bowler for a long time now.Am I being too reactionary thinking Starc would be Australia's worst injury atm?
Yup that's it. Williamson is our best player and would be a huge loss but as long as we had Baz there'd be belief. Reverse that and you have a better batsman available but the aura is gone.I'm going with Athers on this one.

Fair call, although I was say KW's tactics were surprisingly attacking in the UAE series, even if he is a much less animated chap.I'm going with Athers on this one. I don't think there's many captains who would've kept their foot on the opposition's throat the way he did against Australia.
Don't think Kane is a poor captain at all, but I think everyone looking at this current team knows that McCullum is the key.Fair call, although I was say KW's tactics were surprisingly attacking in the UAE series, even if he is a much less animated chap.
Yeah, you've convinced me. But KW would be the only challenge.Don't think Kane is a poor captain at all, but I think everyone looking at this current team knows that McCullum is the key.
I would have thought VK for India.Dhoni for India? No clue really..
Yeah maybe VK. Point is, it feels as if even if one crucial player is out, we will do okay. For NZ, I somehow feel, Baz being there is vitally important.. He is NZ's spirit animal.I would have thought VK for India.
Disagree, India still rely heavily on both VK & MD imo. That's the great strength of their batting having glue both at the top and in the middle/lower order.Yeah maybe VK.
