Kiwi's take spare keeper

I've always said one is not enough.

New Zealand is revolutionising wicket keeping by picking two for this test.

Wicket keeping was only just revolutionised by Gilly, but Braces wants to up the ante.

After Gilly, most teams decided on not picking a keeper at all.

They just slap the gloves on a short dude who can bat.

In England they also should be bald or have short hair, and preferably pasty.

By making this decision John Bracewell is saying, even though we brought 2 metre peter over here, we don’t really think he can play.

I, like a lot of people, thought that Fulton could bat a bit, surely more than James Marshall, and probably less likely to lose a tooth than Daniel Flynn.

Braces disagrees with me.

Kiwis popped the Prince in at 4.

I’d bat him 4, and Taylor at 3.

In other selection news braces was vindicated in not dropping Iain O’Brien, who already has 4 wickets with his exceptionally slow and frugal medium pacers.

So happy with his selection O'Brien has vowed not to drop any test matches in the foreseeable future.www.cricketwithballs.com
