That latest New Zealand team has been named, and Chris Cairns is not in it. If we are honest, Cairns' form has been terrible lately - especially with the ball. James Franklin, who had been told to focus on becoming a test specialist, is the man called up to replace him. The bolter in the side is off-spinner Jeetan Patel, who has a terrible domestic record and has done little for New Zealand 'A' on their tour to Sri Lanka. Still, I assume John Bracewell knows a little something about off-spin bowling so perhaps he has seen something the rest of us have missed.
The full squad for the ODI tour of South Africa is:
Stephen Fleming (Capt)
Daniel Vettori (Vice Capt)
Andre Adams
Nathan Astle
Shane Bond
James Franklin
Hamish Marshall
James Marshall
Brendon McCullum
Craig McMillan
Kyle Mills
Jacob Oram
Jeetan Patel
Scott Styris
Lou Vincent
