I've never seen Tickner as international quality when he plays. Sodhi is back.
New Zealand Test squad for the tour of Pakistan: Tim Southee (capt), Michael Bracewell, Tom Blundell (wk), Devon Conway, Matt Henry, Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls, Ajaz Patel, Glenn Phillips, Ish Sodhi, Blair Tickner, Neil Wagner, Kane Williamson, Will Young
New Zealand are touring Pakistan for the first time since 2003 and will be playing two Tests starting on December 26 in Karachi and January 3 in Multan.
Might be best to merge the thread I started.
What has he done ? Given the vast majority of guys have better first class records than test records ( except David Gower curiously enough, county cricket bored him ) do they expect him to really compete at that level ?
It’s the start of the 90’s all over again. He’s not being picked on “talent” or “promise”….he’s played 58 matches for that record.
Mind you a first test line up like this looks good provided there aren’t any injuries.

Young

Conway
Nicholls

Is Jamieson's injury quite decent? I thought he would have been back by now.

I thought I read he was getting ready for the IPL auction

PatelOne quick will go for a 2nd spinner crucial on those dry cracking pitches.
Probably Shodi a wrist spinner to vary the attack and have the ball going another way. -

christ, can you imagine facing him coming back from injury? At club level?
Fuck. That. Shit.
it's always fucked when players of that level come back via club cricket. you realise your level very fucking quickly.

Even if you didn't know who he was, turning up and seeing that monster lining up to open the bowling would have your openers shitting their pants before a ball is bowled.

I was shit bat thoughHaha yeah, we watch bowlers like Southee throwing them down at 130ks and call him medium pace, but when you face 130ks it feels more like 150, it's on you in a flash. I've never faced anything 140k+, I actually don't know how professional batsmen even hit the ball.

Anyone know much about Je ry Shipley? I see he has been named in the one day squad and is being touted as an all rounder. I am hoping he is not another bits and pieces player, ok at both but not outstanding in either.

27 and 25 for bowling and batting respectively. That’s very promising.
We have an appalling legacy of bits and pieces players and should hang our collective heads in shame.

26 year old 1.95cm all rounder plays in the Country comp in Canterbury.
Decent pace and sharp bounce being a tall bowler.
Good bat.A few from the Shipley family have been decent cricketers and rugby players.

Would he be good enough to hold a spot in either discipline if he wasn't an 'all-rounder'?
