Black Caps vs Pakistan 2nd Test, Wellington '09 - My Thoughts & Views

My Thoughts on Basin Reserve Test Match:

1.
Firstly, I loved to see Tuffey back to Test Cricket.

2.
Probably makes sense to give Sinclair another run at the moment with so many of the present top order seemingly below par at test level.

3. Sinclair is probably preferable to Fulton, and since its in Napier, Skippy could actually score runs.

4. Vettori, not only a coach, captain, bowler, batsman...he is the best fielder in the side. He took two spledid catches.

5. Woo golden arm Elliott. He's halved his bowling average (66 to 33) with those 2 wickets in one over.

6. Pretty pleased with how Guptill & Flynn for some time in 2nd Inns, the latter especially. Just quietly I thought we are in with a shot at the target :(

7.
Crowe is calling for Guptill to be dropped. He didn't make any comments on Mcintosh though..surprising

8.
It's a rocking chair for Christmas for me!!! O'Brien RETIRES

9.
This innings from Taylor put him over Fleming's peak in the ICC rankings and the highest for a Kiwi in a long long time

10. Would fully expect McIntosh, Fulton, Elliott & possibly one of Flynn/Guptill to be shown the door. Sinclair, How, Broom to come in for 3rd Test
