Black Caps vs Bangles
-
Not sold on any of Raval, Henry or de Gramholme.
As someone said they will be badly exposed against SA and with Watling in poor form and our tail unable to play the short ball we could see alot of very big collapses once Latham, Williamson and Taylor are out.
127/3 to 137 all out kind of stuff.

I'd like to see Guppy come in for either Henry or CDGH. I don't think we can drop Raval just yet, there's really no-one else to try there.
A lineup of:
Raval
Latham
Kane
Rosco
Guppy
Neesham
BJ
Santner
Southee
Wagner
BoultWould be ideal. Provided Neesh can get and stay fit - I don't even know why he's not playing at the moment?

Yep that team looks a hell of a lot stronger. CDGH can dine out on his six fer all he wants and good on him but he hasn't looked like anything else since. The Neesh has a proven record with the bat and is decent enough with the ball, take away said 6 fer and he'd be better.
Nicholls 98 may be enough. We'll see. Guppy hardly has the rest record to demand inclusion by right.

Watching it on TV you can't say he was really that unlucky as he was pretty lucky not to get out about 5 or 6 times from 87 to 98.
Unlucky is the Bangladesh bowler Taskin.
Yeah, definitely. Nothing unlucky about that dismissal. Nicholls was constantly threatening to chop it on and he finally did. Not convinced anyone else could do any better at 5, except perhaps Brownlie.

CDGH gets the breakthrough. Keep writing him off @MN5 we need a quick 5-for.

@Chris-B. how many catches has the whole team shelled this series?

Fuck he's shit. Flukes another wicket somehow.

No idea - but, lots - well into double figures I'd think. They dropped four in a session in the first test.
It's been really substandard - far from being the best fielding team in the world, more like one of the worst - though the Bangles have been even worse.

@Chris-B. it sort of feels like our standards of everything have slipped away in the last 18 months or so

Fuck off with your truthin M4L. ...
( even though you're right )
Southee joins our greatest ever, everyone's favourite spinner, an alleged cheat and test crickets worst ever batsman.
