Matt Henry 46 poles at 22. I'll take that everyday of the week
Oh he's a good bowler for sure, don't think anyone if asked for a list of the world's 'premier ODI bowlers' would include him though.

New Zealand scored 308.

Boult and Henry are two of the premier ODI bowlers. Don't see much coming from England's mismash of medium pacers
Two of the premier ODI bowlers where, in today's NZ side?Neither of them are even NZ's best bowler, who was missing.

Also a much lower altitude in Auckland which will have a big effect on the six hitting ;)

Look at the respective records for the three bowlers then determine 'who's the best bowler'

Purely on stats maybe, but Southee will have played a heap more games outside NZ and especially in the subcontinent than the other I'd imagine. henry in particular I imagine may have played pretty much all his ODI's in NZ and England, neither of which are exactly fast bowlers graveyards.

Anyway, I'm not sure you'd call this SA attack ' premier' in anyone's world.

you have to remember that all of Englands players are rubbish and wouldn't get into the Bermuda 2nd xi

flat pitches for ODI is fine by me as that's what ODi and T20 is just a hitathon

get proper pitches for test cricket

we will see when SA bat as it will take some chasing but this is the preferred format for some of their players

Has he made himself available for it then? Thought he wanted to play Tests?

He said recently that he feels Bairstow's form in the tests has nailed him in place for the foreseeable future so wants to play IPL.

Good move in my opinion.

Why's Jordan (who's never made a white ball 50) going in ahead of Willey (who has ton's in all 3 formats including a 40baller in last seasons T20)??
