Cricket: How named in ODI squad Wednesday Nov 17, 2010 Central Districts captain Jamie How will make his return to international cricket after being included in the 15-strong New Zealand squad to face India in their upcoming five-match one-day international series. Batsman How, who has performed well for New Zealand A over the winter, replaces BJ Watling who is currently touring India with the test side. Also plucked out of the domestic competition are all rounders Scott Styris and Grant Elliott and bowlers Kyle Mills, Daryl Tuffey and Nathan McCullum. "We have kept faith with the bulk of the squad who played in the disappointing tour of Bangladesh and who have performed well in the current test series against India," coach and selector Mark Greatbatch said. "The squad sees the return of Jamie How who deserves his opportunity after impressing the selectors for some time. "We feel one-day cricket is the format for him to return to international cricket. How has not played an ODI for New Zealand since 2009 against the West Indies. "A couple of players, Martin Guptill and Gareth Hopkins, which were part of the New Zealand A team who recently toured Zimbabwe will stay on. "Martin has shown good form with the bat and Gareth will provide wicket keeping cover for Brendon McCullum. "Unfortunately this means BJ Watling misses out on selection and I'm sure he will look to score plenty of runs for the Northern Knights and press for selection in the future. "We welcome back Scott Styris from injury while Hamish Bennett and Shanan Stewart were unavailable for selection due to injury. "This 15-man squad is really looking forward to playing positive cricket in what promises to be an exciting one-day series." The series begins on November 28 at Guwahati followed by matches at Jaipur on December 1, Vadodara on December 4, Bangalore on December 7 and Chennai on December 10. New Zealand one-day team for India series: Daniel Vettori (captain), Grant Elliott, Martin Guptill, Gareth Hopkins, Jamie How, Brendon McCullum, Nathan McCullum, Andy McKay, Kyle Mills, Jesse Ryder, Tim Southee, Scott Styris, Ross Taylor, Daryl Tuffey, Kane Williamson.

sadly our spinners aren't good as bangbros..

[ZodiaC]

sadly our spinners aren't good as bangbros..

Shakib aside, ours is as good, or even better. Ojha is a better ODI bowler than any other bowler apart from Shakib. The only difference is that, our tracks are not as sluggish as theirs but are flat pitches where spinners will only have to restrict them, and Ashwin & Ojha are quite good in that regard.

That would be the squad if the PCB is running things on our side..:haha: Yuvraj is pbly seething over his 'Central Contract' or lack of.. and all of a sudden he is captain ? 'I refuse to play domestic matches' Nehra ? Gambhir should use the ODIs to find some form Raina or Kohli should be captain Someone please tell Dhoni that Jadeja spontaneously combusted and is therefore unavailable Our emerging 'Kapil Dev' Harbhajan should play.. I'd prefer Gambhir,D.Karthik (I don't know if there are better keeper-batsmen in domestics),Kohli/Raina(Capt),Pujara,Nohit,Yuvraj,Ashwin/Chawla,Ojha,Harbhajan,Praveen,Munaf

[Lord]

my squad(hoping all test players will go to SA missing this) Vijay Dhawan Karthik Yuvraj© Kohli Pujara Ashwin PK Ojha Nehra reserves Munaf Chawla Uthappa S.Tiwary

Tuesday 23rd November 2010 Ryder ruled out of the ODI series Kiwi batsman Jesse Ryder will miss the upcoming five match ODI series against India due to a calf injury. Ryder developed a calf strain during the second Test which was played in Hyderabad. The injury grew further when he batted with a runner during the third Test match at Nagpur. "Ryder is flying back home and will not be available for the one-day series against India," team manager Dave Currie said. The one-day series will start from Nov 28 at Guwahati followed Jaipur (Dec 1), Vadodara (Dec 4), Bangalore (Dec 7) and will end at Chennai on Dec 10.

Franklin steps in for injured Ryder New Zealand have called up all-rounder James Franklin to replace the injured Jesse Ryder for the upcoming one-day series against India. More... Wednesday 24th November 2010 Franklin steps in for injured Ryder New Zealand have called up all-rounder James Franklin to replace the injured Jesse Ryder for the upcoming one-day series against India. Ryder sustained a calf injury during the second Test against India at Hyderabad and aggravated the problem in the series decider at Nagpur, where he required a runner. Franklin, meanwhile, has played in 75 one-day internationals for the Black Caps, and despite an average of just under 19 with the bat, New Zealand selector Mark Greatbatch remained confident in the 30-year-old's overall potential, given the medium pacer has 69 wickets to his name. Greatbatch said: "Ryder suffered a calf injury in the first Test and although he showed great determination to push through the discomfort in the second and third Test it is clear the injury has not improved. "While it's obviously disappointing for Jesse this gives James a wonderful opportunity. "His ability with the bat and the ball make him the ideal replacement." The first ODI starts on November 28 at Guwahati.
