dc_red's dream team revisited
I've had a realization about the Black Caps' crowded middle order, plus the need to find places for as many class acts as possible. Too bad, Braces, this means your experimental guys have no place in the team!
The key to the problem with the middle order is Fleming (avg. 39.2), whose placement means either Styris (avg. 40.0) or Jacob Oram (avg. 43.6) has to be omitted. But what if you could play both of these guys, plus Fleming and Astle (avg. 38.6), and still find room for guys with form: namely Sinclair and Vincent.
The good news is that we can(!!) by shifting Fleming back to opener (and if he doesn't like it he can lump it):
1. S. Fleming
2. L. Vincent
3. M. Sinclair
4. S. Styris
5. N. Astle
6. J. Oram [cover for top 6: H. Marshall]
7. B. McCullum
8. D. Vettori
9. J. Franklin
10. S. Bond
11. C. Martin
Now there is a team that could kick some South African ass! Oh yeah!
