Mills in, Vettori out

What? According to this story Kyle Mills has replaced Dan Vettori in the team to face Sri Lanka in both tests of the upcoming series. Surely there must have been someone else they could have called up? I can understand the logic of picking a pace man to replace Vettori with the wickets at Napier and the Basin likely to be greenish and with the Sri Lankan batting line-up being somewhat less experienced against seam bowling, but Kyle Mills?

In an earlier post I said there were no positives from the one-day series with Australia. Actually, I was wrong - a positive was that we learned Kyle Mills is NOT an international-class player.

I agree with you Mike. BUT who has performed on the domestic scene who hasn't already played for NZ this summer? Should Lance Hamilton have been given another go?
