2020 New Zealand Black Caps Going Forward.

With two seemingly inept series (versus Australia and India)  our Blackcaps are struggling badly.  Question has to be Why?

Ok to be fair one of the biggest problems is something they can't change - Injuries.  But that is it, or is it?  Well the major reason that can be aligned to the results is the new Coaching staff.   I was always had a quiet admiration for Mike Hesson and the results since his retirement indicate he was a Quiet Assassinator.  Stead is not working for me (unless he manages to turn the results in the remaining matches versus India)

I don't totally agree with the Hit and Giggle Team.  I think we could go into a match with three Big Hitters at the top.

My suggested team for T20

Martin Guptill
George Worker (bowls slow left arm orthodox)
Colin Munro
Kane Williamson
Ross Taylor
Colin de Grandhomme (A/R)
BJ Watling (see below)
Ajaz Patel
Tim Southee (one last chance)
Matt Henry
Jamieson/Fergusson

I picked BJ based on the recent T20's.  We desperately need someone in the middle order to feed the strike and noodle singles (run a ball).  The bigger hitters have free reign to play for the boundaries.  And if wickets fall around him he holds an end.  Also T20 bowlers will be frustrated with his prowess at the crease and will lose their rhythm.


Test Team -

Tom Latham
George Worker
Kane Williamson
Ross Taylor
Henry Nichols
Colin de Grandhomme
BJ Watling
Todd Astle/William Somerville.
Neil Wagner
Lockie Ferguson/Tim Southee
Trent Boult.

Major question??  When will NZC revise the Coaching?
