That is very cool, easily our best ever new ball pairing.
100%.....our 3rd and 4th seamers make it the closest we’ve ever had to a mid 80s style West Indies attack as well. As if to prove a point Boult has made sure he gets the first two wickets to get himself on the board too !
Francis Payne also tweeted this is the first time Boult has not picked up a first innings wicket in a test.
Useless Plonker
On the slide. Clearly. Had a good career but obviously coming to an end.
Do we need 4 quicks, or should we make do with 3 and pick another batsman? Doug Bracewell's name has been mentioned on the Fern as a possible replacement.
Despite not scoring a ton or even 50 at test level he’s an all rounder. I’m sure a huge score is just round the corner. See ya Trent.

The other name that has been bandied about on the Fern is Jessie Ryder.
Perhaps Ryder as the batting allrounder is the way to go to replace Boult.

Anyone understand why we seem to think that players have to come in via T20 and ODI? If any team was perfect for Conway to settle into test cricket with it is these Windies.
I don't understand why Conway is in the squad if there wasn't an intention to play him anyway. If he wasn't in their first XI and Will Young was ranked higher than him by the selectors (and they expected BJ back and Kane to be available too) then what is the point of having him there just to run drinks?
Conway will not play a game for the first half of December when he could have been playing in the two NZ A games.

Conway was meant to play in both 'A' games. But Watling injury in Hamilton and Kane absence from Wellington meant he got drafted into the test squad each time and missed the matches.
I personally think it was poor logistics to not manage getting him from Hamilton to Mt Maunganui on morning of first test after the eleven selected. But, with concussion subs, maybe 11 plus 12th man is not a thing anymore?

Has it? When?
Makes no sense, that is still 4 quicks.
Or was it Michael?

The Windies might scrape through and make NZ bat again but this will still be an absolute hiding.....again.
Gosh I hope the other teams touring make things a bit more interesting than this rabble.
Pleased for Nicholls, that ton is about as timely and necessary as you could possibly get with Young and Conway breathing down his neck. These selectors are loyal though and he rewarded them ( however lucky it may have been )

I did not say that you were supportive of the move. I couldn't imagine anyone being supportive of the move unless there are injuries.
