Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final
-
-
Due to injuries and the ECB's stated policy of rest and rotation, England's 16-man squad to take on New Zealand features a number of players at the start of their Test careers. Three are uncapped, with at least two likely to make their debuts over the next couple of weeks, while seven members of the group have played five Tests or fewer.

So looks to me like Conway debuting and opening and one of Santner/CDGH to miss out....but then if both play and Henry misses out we have a bloody strong tail !
We’re up against one very good batsmen, a few journeymen, two ancient pacemen and a bunch of unknowns, surely we got this ?

Apparently one of Henry and Jamieson to miss out although they could be looking to pull a surprise.
KW has talked about the need for a spinner (although god knows why Santner is there then) and that CDGs bowling style suits the pitches. -

KW mentioned specifically that they are finding the pitches a little softer with less bounce so I wonder if that is playing on their minds.

That really would be a strange decision. He'll need the time with a duke as well in different conditions.

I'd be going Henry as 12th man anyway. Not sure that he offers something different to the England bats.
Joe Root aside ( and he isn’t as good as KW ) they just scream ordinary test players to me. If Henry plays he could well roll them cheaply.

@nzzp i can't believe they canned the boundary count back clause!!
That was worth a cool 2 million US !!
Any NZer who's at this week's test should march into the Long Room, plonk their arse on Ranjitsinhji's chair, and demand beer paid for from the $2 million "Free Beer for New Zealanders Fund".
Which frankly should happen in every pub in England for the rest of our lives.
Except for me. Because I've never counted that as a loss.

England got about as many Ollie's in that team as an REM song!

A generation of mummies wanting a wee Oliver to take to prep school followed by those Olivers realising what a crap name it is.

It’s been a long time since we’ve been the Black Craps. I stand by my post.
