@donsteppa I bloody hoped so. I think he wasn't well used early on in his career, then he'd slay at domestic level if they dropped him out of the squad again. I never want to put Trent and Tim in the corner, but Henry's performance does seem to be tied to how early he gets a shot in the innings.
Love me some cricket stats, keep the good mahi up lads.
Yeah we used him perfectly in the CWC19 opening up and bowling most of his overs at the start.

Stuart Broad's bowling average after...
10 Tests: 45.23
It's weird he played 5 of those first 10 against NZ home and away in 2007 and while he didn't look like he was going to play 150 tests he certainly was a massive improvement on Hoggard and Harmison at the end of their career who played the first test in that series.
His batting average does the complete opposite peaking at 41 after 8 tests before steadily dropping with the exception of a big leap after his 150+ not out in the test Mohammed Amir got done for spot fixing.

Stead confirmed last night that Nicholls will move up to 4 and Mitchell will bat at 5. If Henry replaces Boult then it is CdG vs Ravindra for the 7 spot.
Apart from saving the first test in India I'd suggest Ravindra hasn't exactly ripped up trees. Considering his record in NZ conditions, despite his poor performance of late, I'd probably pick Colin
Yeah, Ravindra has done stuff all, Colin would have to start over him... also with Williamson missing we need as much experience as we can get in our batting against a team like South Africa.
Hope Matt Henry isn't picked in the 11, why does this bloke continued to get selected in test squads ? ...he doesn't swing it, doesn't use a slower ball or use the width of the crease, he totally relies on a seaming wicket, his bowling average is very poor, 46.
Just want to acknowledge NZBloke for this superb rant writing off Henry before the match, ensuring he goes on to take a bag of wickets.
Certainly proving to be better than just playing with 10 players - which is all his well thought through rant seemed to leave him with.

Great stuff, now it's our turn to get rolled
Fricken Spark Sport. I wasn't going to shell out for this.

25 bucks for 10 days of cricket.
Seriously, it's not expensive.

I know, it's just gets a pain switching different subs on and off.

He wasn’t the only one to be fair.

Spark's process is easy. Sky's is deliberately more difficult.

Christ, I hadn't even turned it off. Missed it all!

Given Henry's impact on this wicket, I'm actually a little disappointed Rachin wasnt selected. Given current fern sledging I'm sure he would have served me a ton.

First life for Latham. That really was a sitter.

Both openers now gone 36/2

@donsteppa said in Black Caps vs Proteas 2022:
This one from Timmy, highlighted, coulda/shoulda been an 8/52 rather than 7/64. Rosco dropped the last man off Tim, a sitter in the slips, when he was on 7/52.
It would have been, at the time, second best after Paddles' 9/52.
-
the one on that list i remember the most vividly for some reason is Doull just swinging through the Indians. Fuck he was on that day
Any day you knock over the top 7 is incredible. Any time you knock over a top 7 including Dravid, Ganguly and Tendulkar is amazing

in a "well, no shit" comment
defending 95 you just can't put down as many as SA have. Few lives given already. Desperately poor day for them so far

Some bloody good names there. Pringle, Boock and Mark Craig get a mention too. I’m genuinely surprised Paddles is only there three times though.

He features relatively more in the match figures: https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/bowling/best_figures_match.html?class=1;id=5;type=team

A decent day Black Caps. Hats off to the much maligned Henry for that performance. Really interesting to see where his career goes from here.
I’m actually genuinely gutted Conway went, woulda been brilliant having both of them come out on day 2.
Big day for Nicholls coming up but he is a bit of a home track hero so that works in his favour.
